Overall happy. Room could have had more towels. I am sure I could have received them if I had asked. The continental breakfast ok but needed to include warm food options and better coffee. Rooms were clean, staff were great.

The staff we’re very accommodating we arrived early and asked if we could have our room as we were attending a funeral and they accommodate us in our request. The room was clean neat and tidy. Amenities were good. If we had a function in Ballina we would definitely stay there again.

PROS: Bed was Super Comphy, lovely cold airconditioning, black out curtains room was nice and dark to sleep in. Massive TV, comfortable couch, Microwave, Bar Fridge and Kettle. Parking Space directly outside the room with enough space to still open car doors comfortably when cars are parked on both sides. Swimming Pool and Spa were refreshing with comfortable sun lounges. Buffet was yummy and only a 5 min walk from our room. Buffet Staff were friendly and happy to bring out replacement items as needed. Cleaning staff were friendly and helpful when I approached them asking where a skip bin is for my rubbish and they kindly took my bag of rubbish for me and when I asked for two fresh towels they stopped what they were doing and got them for me straight away which was really kind and excellent service. CONS: Room needs a deep clean thick dust built up on window sill, Long thick black hair stuck in the shower drain clearly visible Toilet had faecal stains from previous guest.

Photos on the booking page are not an accurate representation of the premises. In reality the “resort” is nothing more than a travellers motel - hence disappointing upon arrival. Having said that, it is a decent and clean motel for a short stay. Friendly staff and free dinner and breakfast are nice bonus.

No towels, a lot of dust on the glass shelves. My husband and I ordered the food for dinner. We waited for the food for a while. Finally my husband’s food arrived, I kept waiting for my order until my husband completed his dinner. I didn’t receive my order. We asked the server, she said the cook forgot to cook my order.
