Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were friendly but the room is quite dated and rundown. Bathroom was huge but needed deep cleaning. The shower glass panels are dirty, the shampoo/body wash pumps are not working properly. Definitely needs a refresh. Variety at the buffet breakfast was okay, but quality not so great. Soup was cold and sausages were hard as rocks. Seafood / salmon had bad fishy taste - not fresh at all. I felt bad wasting food but some were literally inedible and I gave feedback to one of the wait staff when he was collecting half eaten plates from our table.

The property is very well located. Great services, loved the free airport shuttle, great supply of beach towels. Great amenities, fabulous staff. Could have done with more staff at times and the property is starting to show its age. Probably due a deep clean too.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall our stay was nice. The check in and out was super easy. The air port transfers were great! Our room was nice, newly renovated. However. If we used up amenities they were never replaced. We had to ask for top ups on things like toilet paper. Which isn’t nice when you are away. Not something you want to think about. Overall, a nice stay. Accomodation is close to everything We were able to walk with ease to most places but if that’s not an option there were many useful transportation services around.

Louise

Disliked: Cleanliness
I had cleanliness issues with our room and I had to ask for our sheets to be changed on our 5th night when I could see they had not been changed in line with their policy (3 days). Also, on the first day, I wiped the bathroom floor when we spilled some water and the white cloth I used came up black. I informed reception and said I did not believe the floor was clean. On our second and third days I did different parts of the floor with the same result. I took the face cloth down to reception to show them. I also left a coffee stain on the side of the sink and that was still there after three days too! The hotel pool is large and nice but there are only a few sunbeds and any that aren’t under umbrellas get covered in cockatoo poo. On the positive side, the rooms are large, and if you go for a coral sea view you are on a higher floor and the views are great. You are also only a short walk over the hill to the marina.
