OUR Q1 HOLIDAY APARTMENTS - DISTINCTIVE FEATURES, AMENITIES & HOSPITALITY SERVICES

INTRODUCTION – WHAT WE ARE COMPARING: on this page we compare what we are providing, and contrast this with the vast majority of other apartments in Q1 or in other new resorts . There's no point in comparing our new resort apartments with those in the numerous old & tired resorts one finds in the Gold Coast! Most guests aspire to something new and modern, with excellent facilities and great sea views. Even if you have to pay more, you deserve the best for your hard-earned holiday.
