Staff were friendly but the room is quite dated and rundown. Bathroom was huge but needed deep cleaning. The shower glass panels are dirty, the shampoo/body wash pumps are not working properly. Definitely needs a refresh. Variety at the buffet breakfast was okay, but quality not so great. Soup was cold and sausages were hard as rocks. Seafood / salmon had bad fishy taste - not fresh at all. I felt bad wasting food but some were literally inedible and I gave feedback to one of the wait staff when he was collecting half eaten plates from our table.

The property is very well located. Great services, loved the free airport shuttle, great supply of beach towels. Great amenities, fabulous staff. Could have done with more staff at times and the property is starting to show its age. Probably due a deep clean too.

Everyone stresses that you need to keep your doors shut because of the cheeky cockatoos, but no one mentioned to be careful leaving clothing on the balcony. A cockatoo too a bikini top from the drying rack and dropped it on the roof of the restaurant below. Luckily it was able to be retrieved. This should also be mentioned upon check-in as a lot of people were reporting lost clothing and the staff then said, oh yes, they are very cheeky.

This was a mostly nice stay. A beautiful double room with clean and large bathroom as well as decent but obstructed views of the reef, which was unexpected. We did think the food was fairly average in the Pool Terrace. At times the service from staff was quite average - they werent terribly flexible or accommodating and none of them were particularly friendly. The pool was gorgeous and warm though, definitely warmest of all the pools. This hotel is close to everything, with frequent buses to the Marina.

We had a family room which was the perfect set up for us. Amazing beach views and everything very easy to access. The only downside was that the cockatoos got in our room and made an absolute mess and ate our food. Although the hotel tells you to not leave the door open I don’t think they stress enough just how bad they are and that they can pick the screen door latch.

Overall the hotel was lovely, our cleaning staff were amazing, know they were extremely busy. The hotel was great, nice bar and pool areas. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant. My only disappointment was the balcony, we had a great view but it was so dirty, i realise the birds are an issue but would have been nice if it was cleaned before we checked in, but during our stay it just got dirtier, it was covered in bird droppings. We cleaned to railing sobwe could lean on it and touch it.

The rooms were very unclean, and the beds were very uncomfortable! For the price of this hotel I would have expected a much higher level of attention to detail for cleanliness and comfort in bedding. We could feel the springs in the mattress.... and there was visible spill marks, dirt and dust all over the room. Would not recommend for future stays, which is sad because the Island is stunning!
