Unit 118 - The resort facilities and gardens were great and well kept, easy acces to the beach and walking path are the only reason I am giving this review 3 stars. On booking our stay we requested a porta cot for our 6 month old daughter, however on checking in to the room there was no porta cot available. My husband questioned reception about the lack of porta cot to which he was informed that the resort did not have any porta cots at all. We had to make a make shift bed for her from a couch cushion and cot sheet we had brought with us. The unit itself was tidy but tired. The couch was broken and faded, the carpets pulled and stained, the screen doors to the balcony didn't latch properly and the fly screens were very loose. The light in the master bedroom did not work. Board games were available, however torn, and many parts were missing. During our stay, the oven would overheat and switch itself off. The oven knobs were extremely hot as well as surrounding surfaces. The washing mashing would cut out and we would have to restart it mid cycle a few times. On the last 6 lost power to half the unit, including the washing machine, dryer and power outlets in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We switched everything off at the walls in the unit to problem solve what could be tripping the safety switch but couldn't find the issue. As the power was lost after we had gone to bed, it meant our fridge was without power for several hours and some food items lost. Reception was closed! No help

The Property and layout were great. However upon arriving to find the air conditioning broken, and the floor soaking wet, took 6+hours to dry them. The ensuite light was dull to the point you needed to shower via phone light. I will never book this room again as the staff were extremely ungrateful about the conditions of the room, merely told us the owner said everything works😕

The guy on the front desk is not very friendly or approachable. I paid for an extra person to stay and was not provided with an extra bed. However the lady that stopped what she was doing to show me and my children to our room was very friendly and really helpful. The location is superb so close to the beach it’s amazing.

Sadly check in took about 20 mins due to the person that was meant to be on the desk leaving their phone at the desk while they went to do things. Unit was still being cleaned at 2:30 when we finally got in to the unit. Beds weren’t made properly, dirty towels from last guest still in the ensuite bathroom, what appears to be makeup on the walls, and on sheets. Cleaners started dishwasher when leaving meaning we had to unpack it. Still rubbish in the bin. Washing machine doesn’t drain so had to continually put it to spin cycle to drain, lint filter in dryer so full it was a fire hazard. All the frypans were filthy and clearly not cleaned properly. Very disappointing as we love this resort and come 2-3 times a year. Very let down.

Property still needs work. Staff is not always around. The lift was also in need of some service. Spa and pool weren’t ready as the staff was still putting chemicals in it on the day of the holiday

The room we stayed in was poorly equipped. No clothes dryer, no hair dryer, aircon didn’t work, no soap dish in shower, no shower curtain (looks good in magazines, hopeless when children use shower). Toilet was faulty, reported day 1 and not fixed. Oven barely worked.

The facilities are great. The room not so much. We arrived on a 36 degree day. No air cons in rooms only in lounge room had to move all mattress's out there so all kids could get cool. Only double beds in 2 rooms which are not good when you have tall teenage sons. Dishes were dirty. Mould in cupboards and bathrooms. Outside setting rusty and unusable as broken. Lounge absolutely filthy and stained. I wouldn't take my children back to that room it was very unsanitary.

A lovely resort adjacent to the beach with easy access to walking track and the patrolled beach. The unit was homely rather than super modern but perfectly suitable. The cleaning of some areas e.g. balcony was not up to scratch but all living areas were well cleaned. We found the pool an excellent size with a gym and hot spa part of that complex. Very convenient. At times, the pool was a little cloudy and we wondered whether it was being serviced sufficiently at this peak time of year. A few other signs of under maintenance were apparent at times e.g. pool fence gate locking was dodgy. We parked one car underneath and the other in the visitors car park as advised and although the latter was very full we always found a park. Our unit was on the beach side not the highway side and we heard no road noise. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. We will look for less expensive options for next year's vacation but would happily go back to this place if needs be.

Will never stay here again. Paid $300 per night and the place was disgustingly dirty. The couch was filthy, chunks of hair on the floor, dirt and grime built up in corners, the bed linen was dirty, the air conditioner didnt work and the bed was so uncomfortable I got up with a sore back each night.
