What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Equipped

Our one-bedroom apartment had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to a cozy living area with tastefully furnished decor. We were particularly impressed by the views from our balcony, where we enjoyed the tranquility of the palm trees and beautiful gardens. The included washing machine and dryer made it easy to keep our clothes fresh during our stay. Truly an excellent setup for a relaxing getaway!

Relaxing Garden and Pool

The resort's gardens were the best I've seen during my travels; they were well-maintained and added to the peaceful ambiance. The small lagoon pool was a lovely spot to unwind, surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. We made full use of the BBQ facilities, enjoying grill nights under the stars. It felt like our own private paradise!

Great Entertainment Options

Our unit featured a cozy lounge area equipped with a good-sized TV that had Foxtel sport and movie options. This made for some enjoyable nights in after a day of exploring. The uncomplicated pleasure of unwinding with a good film on the sofa, after cooking a meal in our nice kitchen, was just what we needed to recharge.

Convenient Undercover Parking

The resort offered free undercover parking, which was a great bonus for us. Having a secure place to park our rental car right at the back of the unit was incredibly convenient, especially since we explored so many nearby attractions. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about the safety of our vehicle.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were overlooking the garden and pool area, offering a glimpse of the sea through the trees. They were clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities like a washing machine, dryer, fridge, and cooking facilities. However, there were some tiny ants in the kitchen area which was a bit of a nuisance. Unfortunately, the room wasn't serviced during my stay, even though it was supposed to be done every 3 or 4 days according to the website.
