I liked the new waterpark. I didn't like the hand wash and hand lotion in the bathrooms. I didn't like the gift shop being opened 24 hours. I happened to arrive after 3pm and it wasn't opened and the next morning after 9am it was opened but I didn't have time as I had an appointment to go too.

The villa room was not in fact a villa room. It had less amenities than a cheap motel There was no table to eat at, no sink. I visited a villa room at another hotel while I was there, it had a kitchen, tables and chairs, sink, barbecue and so on. Crowne was clearly inferior.

The room I stayed in was clean and just right for 2 adults. The surroundings were quite at night, therefore, able to sleep well. I guess the only feedback I can provide is possibly looking at making the Lovedale Grill & Bar to host breakfast as well, especially during PH where there are significant number of guests. A second restaurant will definitely alleviate guests demands.

The rooms are ok. I stayed in a villa and it was so far from the reception and restaurant/bar area. The bathroom door lock was broken and the sink tap malfunctioned and sprayed all over my top when I went to wash my hands. It was a very basic place to stay for the expensive price. Probably won’t stay there again.

We booked a room leading onto the pool with two kids and found out on check in that it was an adults only pool which the kids could not use! Would of been nice to know before booking. I got food poisoning the first night at their restaurant and spent the whole time sick in bed. Then on check out someone had used our room number to charge over $280 worth from their red salt restaurant. Thankfully staff were very nice and believed we did not make the charge.

Stayed here For my daughter’s 8th birthday. We were warmly greeted by lovely Emma at reception. The kids love this resort as it has a huge pool, waterpark, heated spa and arcade. It was convenient to order our meals via app and they bring it to you by poolside specially when you cant leave because you are minding the kids. We almost didnt have reason to leave our hotel as we were quite satisfied staying in.
