Beautiful modern aparthotel. Close to the beach and shopping strip with great restaurants. Best place for a relaxing holiday

Fantastic new and clean rooms, beautiful designed and set out. Staff are great. The only downfall is no buffet breakfast which is usually a favourite of ours. However there is an amazing restaurant walking distance for breakfast. Overall would definitely stay again.

Beautifully styled rooms, but you can tell the developer wanted a hotel in their portfolio, but likely has no hotel experience. The hotel website is an over-sell on the reality of the experience. It’s not a bad hotel, but work is needed to live up to its promises. The soundproofing is not great: exposed concrete ceilings = noise travelling from above. It’s baffling that they didn’t build an entrance to the hotel: car park entrance = not the best first impression. The promise of a pool bar was not the experience offered - in fact, we were made to feel like an inconvenience every time we wanted to spend money buying drinks.

Relaxing,

The staff were so friendly and nice. The premise was clean and new, although it could be a bit cleaner. The building has some issues, like the door to our room was hard to open/close and stuck from the top. The room equipment was good, although I wish there was toothpaste and some more options.

the staff were so kind. i had to leave my wedding dress at reception for someone to collect as we were going overseas the next day and they were more than happy to accomodate!

Great property, modern and stylish. Good customer service

Lovely stay, seems to be newly built with a lot of attention for details. Loved the rooms and pool with national park views!

We stayed at essence over the new year period. It was not unusual for temperatures to exceed 30 degrees. In spite of this, every time we opened a door to access the verandah, or left the apartment for more than 20 minutes the air conditioning in the room automatically turned off. We made the staff aware of this but they said it was how the system was set up and could not be changed. When returning to the room from visiting the beach it was unbearably hot and took a considerable amount of time to cool down especially with no fans in the apartment to assist with air flow. The pools were very small for the number of visitors, much smaller than you would expect for the price and the pictures on the website. It was not pleasant to swim with people practically on top of each other. Although there was a kitchen, there was only the bare minimum of kitchen equipment. An oven but no baking trays etc to use, one small saucepan and a small frypan. It made the kitchen more or less unusually other than the microwave and kettle. There was a large fridge but it was completely stacked with minibar items leaving very little room for us to store our own food. The only thing the staff were attentive with was asking us everyday if the minibar needed restocking! There was also no vacuum or broom in the apartment, even when we asked for one, so there was often quite a lot of sand on the floor from returning from the beach. The view was lovely but there are no ocean views from this accommodation

This is a top quality property, with quality finishings, beautiful attention to detail, very friendly staff (all greeting you with a warm smile), and is in the perfect location - quiet, yet in the heart of everything Peregian has to offer!

The staff were friendly and excellent. Very close to the beach and a great vibe in the area. Facilities were modern, new and very clean

Amazing resort for Christmas trip, nice facilities with swimming pool. Five mins walk to the beach and we all enjoyed the stay!

I can't fault the accommodation; after check-out, however, I was charged for damage found in a room not used during my stay, without consultation or conclusive evidence. Word of advice: check the room thoroughly beforehand!

The ambience is relaxing and calm, the whole property has a pleasant feel!

The boutique style was amazing! Well designed hotel and the cute bracelets were amazing!

Great stay nice quiet and clean

This property if phenomenal. The decor is on trend and the entire place is calming and divine. Great location too with only a short walk to local shops and beach.

Awesome property and overall experience staying here. Close to the beach and the shops at Peregian. The pools are really nice and all the bells and whistles. Gym is great, and the staff really friendly and accommodating. All round a super place to stay. Loved it and will be back

Amazing stay and super clean!

Very new, clean, great bed, lovely decor.

The room was was fine but the view of the supermarket car park was not. Woke to the sound of a garbage truck emptying industrial bins. Very disappointing.☹️ At least clients should know what they will overlook when they book.

Fantastic complex in the middle of everything. Very clean, amazing service.

Very good, and relaxing place

Had a wonderful stay at essence, the room was amazing and the staff were very lovely.

A beautifully designed property, rooms were spacious and comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great pool area for the kids.
