Dunk Island Ski Vacations

Great location and clean, although needs some maintenance

Staff are great, they went above and beyond. First time staying at an 18+ resort and better than expected. Great to relax by the pool and read in silence. Will look to come back again.

Everything 10 out of 10

The attached restaurant was convenient for breakfast and dinner and the food was tasty. The small shopping centre nearby had medical, pharmacy, barber and groceries and some eateries. The local boat club is very nice inside and great meals. Our internet worked well and the beach was a short walk from the rear of the apartments .This was our first time holidaying outside of Cairns city and we loved it.

The hotel building is small but our room is quite spacious. Room is also kept very clean. We can see partial ocean view but that's fine. The hotel is not at the center of everything but close enough. I'd say it's a very nice 3-star hotel. However one thing I don't quite understand is its price. It's lower than the neighbouring 5-star hotels' but by just a little bit. How bad do those hotels need to be, to be priced similarly? I think this hotel definitely benefits a lot from the unusually high review scores. At least they won the business from me. But when I looked at the nearby shinny brand new Crystalbrook hotels and Double Tree, I did regret. One thing good about the Plaza hotel is that it has self-service laundry. However it was less useful than I expected. There are only two washers and two dryers. When there's someone ahead of you, you need to allocateore time for completing the task. It's OK, but the hotel also has the policy of closing the laundry at 10pm. On the last day of our stay this policy brought us headache. We accumulated quite some clothes to wash and dry, say two loads. We started task right after dinner. However due to one set of machines is used by others, our second load didn't get the chance. The staff refused to extend the hours citing security reasons. I understand and respect that, but just wanted everyone who wants to use their laundry to ne aware, that it might not be as convenient as you would think.

Pro: I chose ocean view room —totally worth the money! My unit is more like an Ocean front unit with amazing ocean view and we sleep with the beautiful ocean wave sounds. Totally happy with the rental. Rooms are large and clean. The beds are very comfy. The check in was very easy given our flight was very late. We didn’t enjoy the apartment fully because everyday was packed with activities. This is the place I want to live for a month! There are quite a few nice restaurants within walking distance. And obviously a lovely beach which we didn’t have time to enjoy. Con: The underground parking is a little tight for big cars. The check out time is 10:00am which is kind too early for us.

Very close to the tennis court,
