The room was very spacious and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. The blinds kept the room quite dark in the morning which was really nice for our family.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great views over the beach. Close to all key facilities on the island. Free hop on hop off bus was great. Golf buggies good fun too.
Room was clean and very spacious, view are amazing. Room service was also super fast and very convenient as if you do not have a booking for restaurant you will not find food besides the lounge bar or the local tavern.
Overall, I’m very happy with our room. The bedroom and bathroom are both very spacious. There was a slight damp smell when we first walked in, but no other unpleasant odours at all.
The only issue was that we called housekeeping before heading out and no one answered. We then asked reception to pass on the message that we needed housekeeping, but when we came back, no one had attended the room.
Other than that, we’re very happy with our stay. The Asian staff at reception were especially friendly and more than willing to have a chat with my wife, which we really appreciated.
Staff very efficient, helpful and friendly. Huge room and bathroom, all clean. Brilliant view from Coral Sea room. Great breakfast.

Long check in line but everyone was courteous. Appreciated the airport shuttle. Rooms are large and love the balcony. Could have been a little cleaner. Overall a good stay not too many options available on the island.
