We had a great stay at this hotel but there were issues. I am writing this review as clearly as positive to help you weigh the negatives with the positives, as the value for money WAS excellent.
GREAT THINGS
The staff are fabulous.
You can't beat the location. Right on the main strip of restaurants and next door to Hardys so you can buy all the water, drinks and fresh food you need.
We had a cabana room and it was exactly as portrayed. Loved our plunge pool and comfy lounger chairs. Plenty of pool towels available.
The hotel food was excellent especially the cakes. The breakfast didn't have massive selection, but was well cooked and tasty. Room service meals also great.
I am also mindful that no other hotel could offer a plunge pool room with breakfast in a main location for the price we paid. It was excellent value for money.
NEGATIVES
Our king bed was so awful. It was on a wooden base which creaked loudly every time you moved and swayed.
The room doors have a big gap in the middle, so room not mozzie proof
It is very noisy. There were 3 dogs in the laneway behind our room who barked all night. Not intermittent barking, constant barking. don't know what was being moved in the rooms above us, but it sounded like furniture was being dragged on and off most of the night. I was incredibly loud and woke us,even me wearing earplugs. The hallways are also very noisy
On the whole, I still consider the room was excellent value for money
