The food was excellent especially the Teppanyaki and Infinity restaurant. What let it down was it’s attention to detail, small things like the sand around the pool needed a good rake. The carpet in the hallways need vacuuming, stairways need cleaning.

Great location, great facilities, clean rooms. Customer service was lacking in some areas. We were referred to another bar for cocktails as he was unable to make them properly and at times it seemed bars were understaffed with long waiting lines. Once you reached the front of the line the staff seemed flustered with continuous orders that they were trying to catch up on.

Breakfast was very disorganised the staff lacked management as several times had to asked for food to be replenished ....shower over bath in the bathroom was a disaster as the glass screen was too small and the floor was always saturated....kangaroos everywhere and their poo was all over the lawn so had to walk only on the paths
