10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Novotel was fantastic, the older rooms are tired and in needing for a upgrade however the grounds and facilities make up for it. The new rooms are beautiful, spacious and worth the extra money. The staff were so helpful and lovely, activities for the kids were thoughtful and well planned. The only downside to this property is the food. The food selection was minimal and there were next to no vegetables offered. You are a 30 min walk to the closest IGA or other cafe so just something to consider if you don't have a car."

"The apartment was nice and well equipped. Very clean and the bed was comfortable. Very close to the marina and nice restaurants. Try Maharani across the road. My only complaint was our apartment was above the heated pool and lots of screaming kids in the afternoon. (It was school holidays) I'd ask for a place away from the heated pool if I stayed again."
