10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a very short 5 min. walk to the waterfront area and is very clean, safe, quiet location. Rooms were not huge but decent. Nice pool and they had happy hour food & drinks here also. Helpful staff and didn't use any extra amenities except sitting by pool for short time. Would stay here again if I was going here. Went snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef and easily walkable to boats and a fairly short walk to catch train up to Rain Forest. Didn't love the sliding glass door seperating bathroom but otherwise all was great."
