This is our 2nd time staying here and the accommodation and service has been excellent. Our rooms have been clean and tidy with great views of the coast
We will definitely be back 👍👍👍
Location was great, right next to the beach and the golf course. Room was old but refurbished and the daily servicing of the apartment was nice. Staff were very friendly and there were more amenities than we realised - lovely communal deck on the beach to watch the sunrise, pool, and could borrow bikes and racquets/balls for the half tennis court.

Room had an amazing ocean view. I found the room a tad too small and the hill up from/down to the street a little steep. Nice pool.

Great place to stay by the beach. Our suite was newly renovated, roomy, and the resort staff were super helpful in arranging an additional night for us due to unforeseen events. Highly recommended!

Location location location. Right on Kelly’s Beach. Direct access.
Thank you for a waterfront room. The staff very friendly and our check-in was quick.
Nice to have aircon on when we arrived.
Rooms need an upgrade, which I was told was happening soon.
The room still had paint smells from freshly painted walls and the floors could have done with another wash as you could feel grit on the floor from the workers. Other wise the room was very clean and the view was great.
Management very supportive of a special request which they fulfilled.

Everything was spotlessly clean.
The staff were welcoming.
Location was good and beds were comfortable.
High flat screen TV, ideal for watching AO final.
The view was amazing.
Would definitely return.
