The staff were great, very helpful. The rooms were clean and the supplies well stocked. The instant coffee provided in the room was moccona, so that was a great relief after a very long day of travel. The room was quiet and all amenities worked. The pool area looked great, sadly didn’t have time to enjoy it. Highly recommend.

Room was terrible filled with smoke for 2 nights straight place is great if you like run down rooms with dangerous uniform steps with a lovely mould infested silicone shower with cracked tiles and bathroom vanity. If you love tennis half the court might as well get your beach so get your accessories out cause you will need them with the amount of sand on it. Be careful if you pay at premises as they will not refund you for a terrible stay and nor will Wotif even though they are who I booked with. If I could give negative stars I would it was Horrible. First time I have ever left a bad review stayed at lots of hotels this was the worst by far don’t waste your money. Trying to fix smoke filled room with duct tape is disgusting.

Staff were excellent, friendly & helpful. The room was somewhat outdated and, although clean throughout, the electrical items were showing signs of age - the smart tv had a fuzzy lower half of the screen, and the exhaust fan in the bathroom spent most of its time rattling rather than extracting. There was a cute little balcony to the rear of the room, overlooking beautiful rainforest-style gardens.
