In all, our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable.
Posted Jan 27, 2013
Pros: Nice room overlooking the pool and very comfortable.
Location: Very nice location ,
Hotel is in a very nice area not by the beach but a five minute walk. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was expensive, you can find nice breakfast places along the beach area at a lower price.

Good family hotel
Posted Jan 28, 2013
Pros: Location and price
Cons: Poor service
Location: Off the beach by about a block but with easy access to the beach and shops and dining
Hotel is in a good location, but lacks staff to provide good service. It gets noisy with a lot of kids at the pool where there is no time limit at night. and early morning.

Disappointing
Posted Jan 2, 2013
Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful. Had a nice location and easy walk to the beach.
Cons: The rooms have not been well maintained. Cleanliness needs to be a much higher priority.
Location: Nice walk to the beach. Was lovely to see the wildlife from the balcony.
The hotel looks modern and well kept upon arrival. However, that's about where it ended. We were originally given the wrong room but this was sorted quickly and without fuss. The bathroom tiles, ceiling and door all had substantial amounts of mould a lot of which only needed to be wiped off. The toilet was not cleaned and I had to clean it myself on arrival to be able to use it. None of the Foxtel,channels worked, nor did the clock radio or one of the lights in the bedroom. The outdoor setting was about 10 years overdue for replacement and the rest of the furniture could also do,with a good clean and update. If you are unlucky enough to be on the bottom floor be prepared for a lot of noise from anyone staying above. There were dirty dishes at the buffet breakfast each morning, the first day I pointed it out to staff but didn't bother after that as it did not seem to be a high priority. If it wasn't the Easter long weekend I would have not stayed more than the first night. Being a Novotel I had a certain level of expectation and was very disappointed.

Family friendly
Posted Jan 8, 2013
Location: Easy stroll to main street for cages and beach
Hotel slightly run down but overall it was a great family place to stay. The pools were kid friendly. Disappointed that we had to hire a babysitter for our 3 yr old as kids club was only for 4+ kids. Also disappointed that resort shop was permantly closed, meant we had to walk into town to get basic groceries like bread

Average Hotel
Posted Jan 8, 2013
Location: Great Location
The website pictures I would guess are somewhat very dated. "Pay TV" having 1 pay tv channel (there could have been more but they didnt work in our room) is not "cable TV" in every room.The "Movie" channel as advertised didn't work, there was little shading in the main pool area, house keeping only made the bed, no other room service was provided

Good holiday destination
Posted Jan 4, 2013
Pros: Friendly staff, convenience to restaurants and beach.
Cons: There was only one bar which was also the place to eat because the restaurant was shut. The second pool was warm, not refreshing.
Location: Easy walking distance to the main street.
We visited with two friends. The room they were allocated was set up for a disabled person - so great for those travelling who may have different needs, but this was not so great for them. That said, the Novotel upgraded their room immediately which was a good resolution. The staff were friendly and really helpful. The hotel overall could do with a spruce up, but it was comfortable and provided everything we needed.

Nice hotel but understaffed

Very nice facilities, Great location just need more staff. Perhaps we were at the tail end of the season but still a few more staff to handle the breakfast rush would be nice.
