Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The owners were nice. Parts of the property are very run down, but some rooms have been renovated nicely. I had several problems at checkin, all resolved except for non-functional internet. The owners had just had new wifi equipment installed a day or two previously and it was not working. This issue was apparently resolved on the last day of my 4-day stay, but I was able to use a hotspot in the interim, so wasn't greatly inconvenienced.
We (2 adults 2 kids) stayed 6 nights in a family room.
We were greeted by the owner on check on and the service from all staff we encountered was impeccable. We were given great advice on things to do in the area.
The room was exactly as advertised. Aircon in the main room and the 2nd bedroom was a welcome relief for us “southerners”.
Bathroom was clean and modern. Beds were really comfortable. The kitchenette had all we needed to make our own meals, including post and pans, stove top, microwave and convection oven.
The playground structure is a bit dated and worn but the kids still had a ball running around in the enclosed grassed area.
The saltwater pool had plenty of seating and a large shade cover over most of the shallow end.
Even though it’s on a main road we were in an apartment at the rear of the property and it was quiet. The other guests were mainly workers but were friendly. Close to supermarkets, and a short drive to the shopping centre and lagoon.
We would definitely choose to stay here again!
Very good room with kitchen every thing you need to be self contained , very nice spacious room , think it was a family room even though I was single person
