The bungalow was spacious & well appointed with a large & comfortable bed. The outlook to the wetlands & beach was lovely & the amenities at the hotel bar/restaurant were great. Overall a great stay.

Stayed in the AO Bungalows. Very quiet and private. Great views. Bungalow was beautifully designed. Everything available for a great weekend away. Great pool. Bar/restaurant on site but never noisy.

The place badly needs maintenance repairs. Very limited facilities. I probably will not stay there again.

Bungalow was amazing inside. Obviously being right on the beach the outside does show signs of the exposure to the elements. Super comfy bed. Proximity to the hotel and local cafes and beach all within 5 minutes walk is excellent. Pool area was a little disappointing. Tired old furniture and maintenance guy throwing buckets of chlorine in the pool while families were in there swimming at 4pm !!😳

Really disappointed on our stay. Arrived with tv and fridge not working, told staff in the morning and still had not repaired in the afternoon. No compensation was offered and staff were not helpful after multiple prompts. Will not recommend after the price we paid and quality of customer service.
