I had a great experience at this hotel! The grounds were stunning with several pools to choose from for relaxation, and the staff were genuinely helpful. The breakfast was affordable and tasty, especially the barramundi at dinner. However, I did find the location a bit far from the main attractions, which made travel a little inconvenient.

Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, especially with its spacious pool area and helpful staff. The rooms could use some updates, and the dining options are quite limited, but the accommodations were comfortable. It’s a bit out of the main action, so be prepared for a short drive or bus ride to get to attractions.

The rooms were clean, though a bit dated. Our initial room felt cramped with two beds and a porta cot, but the upgrade to a suite was spacious and made a big difference.

Dining options were quite limited, with one restaurant offering a small menu and overpriced items. Breakfast left a lot to be desired, so consider off-site options.

I spent a week at this hotel with my family. The spacious setup, with plenty of room to relax, was a highlight, and the pools were enjoyable. The breakfast was average but adequate. While the rooms were good and featured updated bathrooms, the noisy atmosphere caused by other guests left something to be desired. On the downside, the noise from early morning travelers disrupted our stay a bit, but overall, we felt it was a decent value for what we paid.

The only dining option was a bar that served food, which was frustrating as the dishes came out all at once despite requests to stagger them.

5.0/10

Our stay was disappointing, mainly due to the uncomfortable and poorly maintained room, which was a letdown. The only positives were the pleasant breakfast service and the pool area, which was enjoyable. Overall, it felt more like a rundown motel than a resort, and I wouldn’t recommend this place unless improvements are made.

While the pool area was nice, it didn’t make up for the overall shabby condition of the property.
