The property is amazing. Direct access and view to the ocean and walking distance to town. The rooms however are very tired and need a complete overhaul. Reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The poor restaurant staff are extremely understaffed and at times run off their feet. Unfortunately whilst we were there they were undergoing renovations to the restaurant and bar area which wasn’t pleasant when trying to have a nice relaxing breakfast. We opted to eat out after this experience. Pool areas are lovely and so is the outdoor seating areas.

After booking online I got a text telling me that the restaurant was closed for the duration of our stay. Then another text saying that if we arrived after 6 we would use their late check in system. We arrived at 5.40 and were greeted by locked doors anyway. Found our room in a breeze block building 2 blocks away from the resort. Once negotiated carparking (not easy in a medium sized car) we could barely squeeze into the motel door. Room was a good size, old furnishings with comfortable bed but there was a pizza crust behind the bedside table and a 2" cockroach greeted us welcome (welcome to the tropics!). The back of our room opened to a stunning little rainforest garden with a gazebo and swimming pool. Tea and coffee with milk, wine glasses all provided. It was a quiet night so we slept well. Shower adequate, no bodywash but shampoo and conditioner and bar soap provided. Bathroom was clean.

The receptionist was very nice and the property was straight on the beach. The windows of the hotel room were dirty and green algae growing from the outside of the window. The water system in the bathroom was noisy.

The staff was excellent- friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. These were the positives - on the flip-side: take careful note of the cancellation policy!!! I tried to negotiate a postponement because of cyclone Jasper 6 days prior but the hotel wouldn't budge. Not the hotel's fault that we decided to proceed but once there it was a disappointing experience. The hotel is very run-down and to give them credit, they are in the midst of renovations but we were put in a room with the scaffolding right at the window. The roads were cut off meaning no-one could get in or out and they couldn't find us a better room??? The booking process was painful - provide details already provided again, receive a code, email confirmation to the receptionist right there and then it took 3 goes with the credit card :-( The restaurant was very handy and the food was tasty but we ordered cocktails, entrees, main meals and a bottle of wine and received it in a disjointed order: entrees with main meal 2 minutes later (no parmesan and truffle chips as per the menu - just plain chips), wine and lastly the cocktails. Unfortunately, because of the cyclone we had to stay an extra 2 nights but couldn't stay in the same room because it was allocated to other travellers. Again, the roads were flooded and no-one could get in or out. How were these travellers going to get to the hotel??? By boat maybe or by helicopter maybe.

The advertised price was not what we were charged. Expedia said 94 and we paid $130. We were sent to our rooms luggage in hand to another building at least 500m away. No help with luggage no offer to use the dollies which were abundant but we didn’t see until later. The only other downside was a lack of lounge chairs on the beach. that would have been a nice feature. other than thatit was awsome
