We were disappointed in the condition of the room - water logged lamp shades and worn furniture. The bed was so uncomfortable - you could feel the springs. No room attendance so we had one set of towels for 3 nights and it was $250 a night for a small hotel room. Checkin was pretty lack luster and didn’t even provide me an understanding of on-site amenities (good thing we’ve stayed before and knew). The second night we stayed there was some kind of party happening at the pool below our room that didn’t break up until 1am. Next time we stay in the area, we will look at other options as the room was by far the most expensive and in the worst condition to all the places we have stayed in Australia on this trip (even the country hotels were better).

Everything was great apart from the water pressure in the shower. Little more than a dribble. All other facilities and aspects of the stay was outstanding. Great short stay. Will definitely be back.

Worse experience. Look elsewhere first. Kicked out of our room one day prior to our departure as the owner wanted the room. I was offered another room; however, we did not want to pack to unpack again, so I was provided a refund for that night as it essentially had ruined our time away, so we just wanted to go home. 14 days later still chasing our refund! We have had to chase the hotel after they took our bank details amount, etc., and said it would be fixed.

Overall good, areas that need attention: bar staff (40 mins from order to ready for a cocktail despite it not being too busy and having what seems like plenty of staff), shower water pressure was worst of any hotel I’ve stayed at, and lacking room charge around the resort….

When we checked in our room wasn’t ready , had no clean beach towels and was next to a room that had smokers in it and the key stopped working half way through the night. The staff we’re understanding and gave us a late check out , complimentary drinks , an upgrade on our next visit along with a free breakfast. When you stay at a resort things can go wrong but what makes the difference is the service they provide and in some cases the compensation when they miss the mark.

The spa in the room which was fantastic, overlooking to the pool area. The only thing i didnt like was the dual entry area as it was noisy when the neighbours would come and go with doors banging. Regards Sharlene

Average
The service level was lower than I had experienced previously at this hotel - this was my third stay in 3 years. There was no restaurant on site, the queue for check in, breakfast, bar service etc was so long each time it became very frustrating. Left the breakfast queue one morning after waiting 20 minutes to be seated and missed my included meal. The staff were inattentive and there was no room service available.

I was a bit worried seeing other reviews but honestly our stay was absolutely amazing, the only negative thing I have to say is any drink with the word "Bam Bam" in it avoid at all costs unless you love the taste of metho 😂 and our floorboards in our room must of had some water damage at some point as it bubbled in most of the kitchenette area and front of the bathroom, everything else was absolutely amazing and super relaxing, spa bath was awesome, plunge pool was super cute and really pretty at night, restaurants in the area were to die for and the staff were absolutely superb, we're thinking about heading back next year!!!!

The two doors one had to open to enter the room. Could perhaps the first door into the small vestibule between two apartments be removed. It is very strongly hinged to automatically close with a loud bang which sometimes could be disturbing. Is the second door for added security? If so is it really necessary ? Surely about 99 per cent of properties have a single locked door from public areas for security.

Excellent resort, location, staff were friendly. Restaurant had minimal food options one evening which was unfortunate. $200 is requested on check in but the money doesn’t return to your bank account for 5-7 business days after check out.

We totally expected a 5 star hotel room. Maybe Wotif customers do not receive the best rooms! We were given a very small room on the ground floor that looked out onto a brick fence, and around the corner, a road, just dirt and a few plants. Around the corner we could see plunge pools outside rooms. But, laying on the stones also, was a man's underpants and singlet, looking as though they had been there for weeks!! We also had to call housekeeping as there wasn't sufficient liquid in the dispensers for showering. We have stayed in 5 star hotels around the world, but this hotel was very disappointing!

Fire alarm went off at 5:30 in the morning. No staff took 10 to 15 minutes for the Fire Brigade to turn up and no help from least desk later. All they said is staff need re-training

It is a large property- there was no map provided and I was very confused about finding our parking spot. When I asked staff what I should do if I get lost, could I call reception? Staff answered rudely with - there are signs everywhere. Let me tell you, there are not signs everywhere. I was disappointed.
