Gorgeous Ocean View

Riyadh | 28th November 2023
4.75/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Two secure parking spots and very close to local cafes and restaurants. We would happily stay here again. It could use a much more thorough clean, including appliances like the BBQ. Not sure if anyone is aware but the coffee machine is actually faulty, sounded like it may need to be repaired. All minor things though and they didn't impact our stay at all. We loved it.

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the gorgeous ocean view and had a great stay at Strand Beachside 1003 with Pacific Coast Holidays. We appreciate your comments on cleanliness and appliance maintenance, and we'll address these promptly. We hope to welcome you back soon, and we're glad these minor issues didn't affect your overall enjoyment.

We've been coming here every October since 2019 and many more to come.

After a long three days search for the 'Fairy rock pools' we finally did!! And a few muddy falls later, our stay here has been absolutely incredible reading & sunset viewing on the balcony.

A great place for a rest.

A great place for a rest.

The views are amazing, and even better than the photos. Close to everywhere, and your own underground car park.

Over 6th year in heaven on earth. Fabulous holiday. Trialed out blow up stand up paddle boards on the river. So much fun!! Swiming @ beach & pools. Dining out in the village. Sun, sand & surf.

You are relaxed the minute you arrive. Really well appointed! Kitchen, bathroom, bbq, etc. A lot of attention to detail!! The agent was a pleasure to deal with and would have been quick to sort out any problems!

Fabulous stay @ the penthouse with views of dolphins, wonderful swim in the beach, pool, walk to one mile beach and bike ride over the bridge. A great adventure weekend with great friends. Thankyou!

Fantastic view!

Used the penthouse for a girls week away. Between the four of us it was very cost effective. Lovely views from both balconies. We probably sat outside more often than not because it was so beautiful. Very spacious and suited us perfectly. We had a brilliant week together, will definitely stay again.

We booked this apartment for six adults following our daughter's wedding in the Hunter Valley, and could not have chosen better. The six comprised my husband and self, our daughter over from Vancouver and her Canadian boyfriend, middle daughter from Melbourne and my sister. It was perfect really for such a family get together. The apartment is two storey, each with its own lounge room and verandah so we all had our own space. The views down to the beach was absolutely gorgeous and most afternoons, we watched amazingly hot pink sunsets whilst sitting outside with a drink in hand. We also used the bbq on several nights. My husband and I had the upstairs bedroom with ensuite, which was lovely. Downstairs the other four shared the one bathroom without issue, and the bedrooms are apart from each other. Our daughter said that with their bedroom door shut, did not even hear us outside talking (which was just as well as they like to have a sleep-in). The only one issue is the small third bedroom. Unfortunately it does not have air-conditioning and yet a air-condition unit is placed on their small patio making the room very hot indeed. This was overcome by using the fan, and more than compensated for by the rest of the unit. The apartment is just gorgeous and comfortable, but really we just spent most of the time in awe of the view. Dolphins were almost always about and could never get sick of hearing the sound of the waves breaking on the beach. We had two car spaces but rarely used the cars at all. It is only a short walk to the beach or into town. Unfortunately the swimming pool seemed too cold to swim in, which surprised us being only the first week of April. Regarding the cost, which initially seemed expensive - divide it by the cost per person (especially including Easter), it was very cost effective and when you include the luxuriousness of the apartment, we could not have chosen better for such a special family reunion. We would certainly love to be able to return again.....tomorrow if we could.

I booked this Penthouse to stay together with my family as my son was here from London so we spend some quality time together, the place is real nice, the views are amazing waking up with that view was great, but - some conditions I will not approve the check out time its really early 8.30am - at times makes it difficult when you have young children to be able to check out by 8.30am which most places check out is around 11.00am - when we got there the place was not that clean there was hair left on the pillows from the other guests, only two rolls of toilet paper, very short on bath towels, we need to use the same towel every day - no fresh towels given to us daily or every second day. no sponge in the sink to wash some dishes, no air condition in one of the bedrooms downstairs and no fan, so it was very hot. no remote control for the upstairs tv. there was a barbecue but it was dirty and no gas for us to be able to use it. Garage door goes down very quickly - the gate went down so quick that almost collided with the roof of the car. No Wifi, so if we need to send email or check something not able to do this, you need to buy a box from them and pay for the data, I think it could have been better, especially paying close to $2,000.00 for 4 nights. Not sure if I will use this again, unless they change some rules, the views and the place is amazing - need to give more for the money that people pay thank you Tina

We took our family of 5 young adults (and us) to this penthouse and it fitted us perfectly. View is to die for, location is very central to both beach and main street shopping. Heaps of restaurants to choose from for dinner if you don't want to cook in the fully equipped kitchen. We will definitely be back.
