Dawn Beach Estates Holidays from AU$2,789

Staff were really great and helpful!

The property was ok. Definitely needs renovations. My room was old and had old fortunate that was rusting. Bathroom wasn’t my favorite. Was outdated and bathtub was peeling and had missing grout. Had roaches near my sink area and weird black spots on the tile floor under the a/c. Location is great and has a pool and beach.

I had partial view of beach, pool was great, pool bar was good.

The property is amazing, from the location to the scenic views! The room was nice and having a kitchen was a plus. The only issue was the wifi and the tv selection. You only get 7 channels and none of them were worth watching. The wifi connection was not great in the rooms, only at the front of the property.

We arrived before check-in and was greeted very warmly. We were told we could use the beach chairs or have lunch while we waited for our room and they would text us when the room was ready. They did not text us as promised but we had promptly gone to the front desk at 4pm and were given our room key (so the room had been ready but we weren't contacted). The main hostess at the restaurant was not very friendly with us. She literally ignored me for more than 5 minutes while I waited to reserve a table for lunch, walking by me several times ignoring multiple "Excuse Me"'s that I said to her. Americans who are used to saying Hello as a formal greeting rather than the European Good Morning or Good Day will be received coldly. The beach allows smoking, so anyone sitting downwind from a smoker will have their fresh sea air ruined with cigarette smoke. We aren't sure why there isn't a smoking section since it seems it would be easy to accommodate. Of course, this leads to cigarette butts being littered all over the beach. Gross! Our room was very clean and the front area staff were great. The bathroom is an open, Italian style shower concept with no glass, so water gets everywhere when you shower. Mild annoyance. The village is just minutes away walking and offered great food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall, it was a great stay.
