A great hotel right by the ocean. Has several restaurants on the ground floor and neighbouring for plenty of dining options. The room was clean and well appointed. It had a nice balcony over looking the ocean. People do seem to feed the native birds it seems, so expect visitors if you go to sit outside. The bar/ restaurant at reception was a nice surprise. Friendly staff and a good menu with a great drinks selection. Friday and Saturday nights they had solo acoustic musicians playing that added a great atmosphere. The beach is across the road with lifesavers if you want to go swimming and a popular walking spot too.

Good location but hygiene needs improvement

Pros: - unbeatable location - the aircon in the room was very quiet - bed and pillows were comfortable Cons: - many areas were quite dirty - big cockroaches in the car park and also inside the washrooms in the hotel lobby - housekeeping removed our hand towel on the second day without replacing it, and put a used towel back on top of the folded ‘clean’ pile of towels - the room was quite dirty and a wiping the bathroom counter top and other surfaces turned the tissues grey with dirt and dust - room curtains did not really block out the light, and had several holes in the fabric - car park was a bit tight to get in and out of, and whilst the parking fee was listed on the website as $35/night, it was actually $39/night upon license plate registration
