View from our room was stunning. Room was very clean and presentable. Good options for the continental breakfast. Very easy walking distance to town and the Coral Sea Marina. Only downside was restaurant closed very early, even on a Friday night. Lots of kids in and around the pool. Didn’t worry ...
