Stunning location

Location and view from room was excellent! It felt like a Pacific Island however this afternoon is no “resort”.
Rooms only serviced on the 7th day so if you wanted a fresh towel you had to pay $10. There was no top up of soap or tea and coffee.
The pool was great but there is no holiday resort atmosphere. It felt dead and neglected. Many rooms have permanent residents or are privately rented. No extra activities for kids or gym.
Breakfast served on weekends from 8.00.
Rooms are average quite roomy but looking tired. Bed was comfy.
I thought the’resort’ in total felt a bit dead.

The toilet seat was not secure although it was fixed after 3 days, the bed had sagged in the middle as it probably had been used for too many romantic weekends and the floor was covered in dust

The sea view is stunning! Very relaxing. However the room was basic and needs updating and repairs.

Beautiful area and beach. Seems like every room either has a view of the pool or ocean with the sunset.
No wifi, no cleaner, and not perfectly clean so loses points. Otherwise everything you need, in a beautiful location.

Amazing staff, location and food!!!
The room was a bit of a let down; The bathroom in particular wasnt very clean and very dated. The kids bunk was pretty worn and rough, Also the aircon/heater didnt turn on (LED just flashed).
Would happily stay again but the bathroom in particular could use some more attention when being cleaned and I hope some renovations/updates are in the cards soon.
Also special mention to the staff, They were amazing, Very friendly and helpful!

I had a balcony room overlooking the water, truly beautiful location. The room was good, fairly well maintained, clean and a pleasant place to be, especially for the rate.

We got a upgrade to a ground floor room with ocean frontage. Absolutely stoked. The beach & ocean view from the front of the propery was first class.

My partner and I stayed in a newly renovated room, which was gorgeous, and very comfortable. Our view was probably the least exciting, but that wasn't very important to us. We had several family members in other rooms, however, with gorgeous views right out onto the beachfront.
