Stayed with kids

We actually had an issue with getting our room cleaned which was frustrating. No face cloths and the restaurant in the hotel is very pricey. We walked a mile to get food when we had time. The kids loved the pool

The hotel was located a short walk from the main hub of entertainment and the marina. We were able to walk to everything but still have a quiet evening.

Everything is good about the hotel but the location is not very convenient. It takes about 30 minutes walk to the reef boat ports and 20 minutes to the downtown.

Stayed with family · For friends and family

The hotel seemed to be a high-end hotel which had fallen on harder times. In one room, neither of the bedside lights on one side worked. The handyman tried several different bulbs, but said the problem needed an electrician. (No idea if one was ever called - the lights were not fixed while we were there.) In our next room, the led light of one of the bedside lights did not work. (Each bed had a traditional bedside light and below it a flexible led light.) Lampshades were old and cracked on the more traditional bedside lights.

Solo stay

The hotel is quite tired and a little run down. The cleaning wasn't very good, the bathroom floor was a bit sticky and the doors and walls were quite grimy. There's not enough lighting which made reading difficult. The breakfast was very good and varied. The staff were friendly and helpful with any enquiries. The pool temperature was a little cold and could've done with 4-5 degrees higher and the spa way too cold.
