The aircon didn't work in all 3 bedrooms for our whole 3 night stay. The bucket and soggy towel in the wardrobe to catch drips suggests they already knew there was a problem. We complained and got "sorry about that, we'll send a fan up". The fan never arrived, and we had to chase them up again. It was cool enough with the fans blowing cold air in from the living room but we couldn't close any of the bedroom doors at night for privacy, which wasn't great. The shelf above the kitchen sink was dirty/greasy and it was obvious whenever they clean they only quickly wipe around the items on it with a damp cloth and not any spray. There was an almost empty carton of milk in the fridge (and no full one) so we couldn't make tea/coffee the first morning. On the second day we came back from sightseeing to find housekeeping had been but never finished. All of the towels were in a pile on the floor, 1 bed had been made, and one of the bathroom rubbish bins was up on the kitchen counter, full of rubbish. Reception made a note and told us they'd be back later to finish, but they never came. We got another "sorry about that, let me give you some more towels". On the Friday night the restaurant overcharged us $40. We brought the mistake to their attention of Sunday morning and they gave us two bottles of wine for free with dinner Sunday night, so it worked out in the end. We've stayed at the resort many times. We'll probably stay at Brighpoint next time.

Was very disappointed in the condition of the room. Furniture was very dated, furniture old and dirt under glass desk. Furniture on desk was dated and broken. Was disappointed in condition considering the price and the name Peppers. First staff member on desk was short with her communication and rude.

It’s pretty outdated. I think I saw that it was a 4 star hotel? It’s a 3 star in reality at best. The location was impeccable and the pool is HUGE but the rooms could use an upgrade.

Peppers Location is 100%, short walk from ferry. Bus stop is also located at the ferry terminal with easy access around the island, $1.00 per person hop on and off all day pass is unbeatable. The resort pools and grounds are kept beautiful. We only used the restaurant for breakfast and sadly found breakfast basic and cold, the outside chairs have mould and could do with a scrub. Our 3 room apartment could do with a freshen up, metal stools were rusty. I will defiantly go back to see if advice was taken, it just needs some TLC.

We enjoyed our stay at Peppers. Lovely breakfasts,great pool, awesome shower and bath in our room. Couch needs replacing, as it's extremely sunken and hard to sit on. We would recommend, but be specific on room choice. Our room was a bit tired and noisy near the traffic. Staff very helpful. Thanks for hosting us!
