An enjoyable choice with a good range of restaurants and bars together with fine grounds and a wide sandy beach. However it is surrounded by higher rise apartment buildings and plots where other high rises will surely be added shortly. This almost gives it an oasis feel. Several nice touches inside and outside; there is even a guy cycling around the grounds with ice creams from a famous name ice-cream company.
