Mersing District accommodation from NZ$52

We absolutely loved our stay here, it's such a beautiful resort and the service is excellent. The pool is wonderful and always plenty of sunbeds. The food is great, with two restaurants to choose from and a good variety on the menu. The buffet is quite expensive compared to the a la carte menu. We enjoyed the pool bar and beach bar and selection of cocktails. We loved our trial diving and our snorkeling trip, where we saw small sharks and a turtle. There's a buggy service to take you anywhere around the hotel at any time. I also enjoyed the free yoga class next to the sea. Service everywhere is always brilliant.

We enjoyed our stay at the Barat, and thought it was good value for money. We stayed in a family room, it was clean and comfortable apart from a few ants running around. It was great to have a pool, but the pool needs a bit of maintenance as there are tiles coming off and the sides look like they could do with a clean. We used the sun loungers around the pool which are a bit hard but there seemed to be enough of them as the pool was never over busy. The restaurant had a good menu with a wide choice of meals to cater for most tastes including western options. We also walked out to a lovely local restaurant for several dinners, Almond Beach. Overall a nice place to spend a few days.

The staff was absolutely amazing! They were friendly, courteous and helpful. Roberto that works the resort restaurant is an absolute gem. Always made sure I was well taken care of. If it's a massage you need, I highly recommend Yana. She manages to strike the perfect balance between a gentle, soothing massage and a deep sports massage. Finally, you must have a chat with Simon. You will find him at the reception as he oversees operations. He can provide you with a multitude of places to visit, restaurants to eat wherever your next destination takes you! Thankyou everyone for a great time 😁 Michael
