10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay here for our anniversary and really enjoyed our time. The location was fantastic — very central to everything, just around the corner from the Big Banana and only a short drive to the jetty. There was plenty to see and do nearby, which made getting around really easy. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We were especially touched to find a bottle of wine and a lovely card wishing us a happy anniversary in our room. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really made our stay feel special. The facilities were generally very clean and well maintained. There were a few little things here and there that could use some attention, but nothing that impacted our stay. Our pool gate happened to be closed for maintenance, meaning we had to use the other gate. It wasn’t a major issue at all, just a little inconvenient. The pool and spa were clean and well maintained, and we really enjoyed having them available. The restaurant was another highlight, with a great breakfast and dinner, and the upstairs area with the pool table and air hockey was a fun added bonus. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay. The staff were consistently friendly and accommodating, the location was excellent, and the little anniversary touches were greatly appreciated. We would happily stay here again!"
