Disliked: Cleanliness
Cleanliness needed improvement. Price online much more competitive than direct through the hotel. Check in was straight forward. Limited parking if in a 4WD or ute above 2.0mtrs.
The room was not the one I booked, it was supposed to have a view of Palm Meadows Golf Course, It had a view of the hotel footpath, they attempted to move us to a room which had a partial view with two queen beds I booked one with king bed so we did not move, Sophie at reception said I could cancel and find another hotel !!!!!!
As soon as I entered my room there was a strong musty, mouldy smell. Obviously after a while you didn't notice it but it was still there. There was mould somewhere, you just couldn't see it. Luckily I had a balcony so I could leave the glass door open and let fresh air in. Every time I came back to my room, that smell was very strong. Mould is very toxic and this room, and any others like it should be completely stripped out and refurbished.
Also, I had no assistance offered with my luggage to drag it to the room which was surprising. Maybe I should have asked for it, but to be honest, these little things are what are usually offered without having to ask for them.
There's no room service available, when I arrived, I was exhausted but had to go and collect my dinner. I appreciate it's a big complex with lots of separate accommodation buildings, but other similarly laid out resorts offer room service.
Overall for the price per night I was very disappointed.
Laundry Service was essentially non existant. Over the 3 nights/days, not once was the room cleaned and guests would need to help themselves to the open Staff Only room for spare towels etc. Although each block of Units are 3 storey, there are no lifts, just 31 steps up and 31 steps down if staying on L3. I was unaware of this prior to booking. At no stage did I complain as we were only in for 3 days and the accommodation and bar were really good. Car parking underground and plenty of room for larger vehicles provided no higher than 2.2m.
We loved our stay and the resort has plenty to offer. The only negative was Room 3101 was musty an the carpet felt damp. The AC is an evaporative system an seemed to struggle in the humidity. Other than this, the room was spacious and clean. We recommend and would stay again.
My daughter and I were assigned a room on the other side of the resort where all the schoolies and youth were staying. This was not appropriate for my young daughter or myself as I was working the time that I was there. The internet was terrible, the noise and feet stamping as well as door slamming was frustrating and the parking was atrocious (we couldn't go put for dinner or there was parking spot on our return and quite dangerous for my daughter and I late at night). I was quite disappointed with my stay this time.
The property was convenient to attending a conference on the Gold Coast without paying exorbitant prices on the coastal strip. An easy drive to and from the venue. Comfortable and cosy with a relaxing view of the Golf Course and dining reasonable at the bar without fuss & expense after a long conference day. Thanks for making our visit easy and relaxing.
