Title: Complete health hazard and severe security risk – DO NOT STAY HERE. Rating: 1/5 Stars (Zero stars if it were an option) I don’t normally leave reviews like this, but our stay at this Pialba property was not just appalling—it was genuinely unsafe. Between the biohazard hygiene conditions and terrifying security issues, this place is completely unfit to operate. Major Security & Safety Concerns: • Unauthorised Entry: Someone entered the property during our stay without our consent or prior notice, which was alarming given we were supposed to have the only set of keys. • Compromised Locks: It was obvious the property had been broken into in the past; the door locks showed clear evidence of being pried open prior to our arrival and had never been properly repaired, leaving us feeling completely vulnerable. • Non-Existent Communication: Reaching the host/management was impossible.

The accommodation is conveniently located on the eastern side of the island which makes it easy to take in the sites. The apartment we had was clean and comfortable, although there was an issue with the hot water that we were not warned about.

The pool tables gave us some night-time entertainment that was appreciated, although this area had a very ‘school-camp’ vibe. The pool was too cold to use when we stayed. Staff were friendly.
