10/10 Excellent

"A"

Mid City Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We found the Manager Areef was very efficient. He was very prompt to attain any thing we asked for. Rooms were reasonably clean. We would advise to provide wash basin in the kitchenette in the first room."

Coral Cay Resort

8/10 Good

"Very good restaurant and bar open for evening meals M-F. Rooms were cleaned daily and staff very helpful. Not particularly close to convenience shops without transport."

Motel Northview Mackay

8/10 Good

"This is an older style motel but the rooms are clean, roomy and the bed is comfortable with crisp, white sheets and pillows. Nothing fancy with this motel but everything works and for an overnight stay with a small dog, it is ideal. The only unusual element is that the office is not open for check-in. You call a phone number and a woman talks you through where to find the key and your room number. We didn't need to talk directly to staff so no problem for us."

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and we are happy to recommend this property."

Beach, Sand Relax

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The villa was clean and welcoming. It was nice and close to the beach which was awesome.I loved that it was pet friendly. We didn't have our little dog with us however it's nice to know she was welcome!Nicole was communicating with us to make sure everything was ok.One suggestion would be to get a steamer for veggies, a can opener and a baking pan.We burrowed some from a friend.Thank you for making us feel welcome."
