Have been before and recommend to my daughter for their honeymoon the layout is just great

Nothing really

Richard · AU · 2026-06-17

Didn’t stay, went and checked in a nice hotel instead

1.0

Not a lot tbh….the pictures are way better than the actual place. Tired, old, dingy….we literally checked in, went to the small cramped room & then went and checked into the Sheraton so down the road instead

They literally charge you for everything, all that’s included really is just the room. Pool are is terrible, room was small and tired, the property as a whole was just really tired and old, especially given the exorbitant room rate
