It was fine for the limited accomodation options. Our room missed being serviced one day and our bins was overflowing and we ran out of cups, mugs and spoons as we had 4 people to a room, next day they took hand towels and floor mats and didn’t replace them.

Restaurant had excellent food, bar was well stocked + made the best mocha coffees I've had in my 5 weeks in AU. Staff was friendly, helpful + efficient, but always with plenty of time to assist in the best experiences. Truly a most enjoyable stay.

Staying in adjoining rooms was so helpful in assisting my daughter and grand-daughter (5) yrs). Both had birthdays during our stay and we all had a really lovely time. Our rooms were quiet and overlooked the pool, beautiful weather though too cold for a swim. The restaurant staff were helpful and we were able to join two tours, one evening and the other to see the sun rise. Will look forward to visiting again and will watch with interest to see if new owners make any changes. Thank you to all staff members.

Given the resort location, you are a captive audience, which pushes up the price. While the pictures make it look fancier than it is, it was comfortable in the 40 degree heat and the air con worked hard. Great restaurant.
