Wyndham Resort Torquay
Only concern was it seemed a shared A/C meant compressor noise when neighbour had it on overnight. Every few minutes. Difficult to sleep Also tv came on with sound and no picture for about 30 sec both mornings about 7 am!!!! Then switched off without my action. Otherwise fantastic end to our road ...
