    The view from the coral sea room was amazing. We were on the 15th floor. We hired a buggy just for the day , it only takes around 1 hour to go around the whole island. The green bus takes you to the marina every 10 mins

    Breakfast buffet was excellent in terms of choice but we felt it was overpriced considering that ‘barista coffee’ was an additional charge.

    Beautifully situated with stunning views. Immaculately presented and exceptionally clean.

    The staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful for our entire stay. When the island closed for the cyclone we were told we had to stay at the hotel and room service would not be operating. Our only choice was to eat at the buffets which were overpriced and poor quality. The meal services also ran late for lunch and dinner on that day and when our group and another were lining up waiting for lunch to commence which was already running 15 mins behind a staff member said “do you want something?” There was no apology for the delayed service. When the alcohol service was not operating that day we asked why and the staff responded “I don’t know it’s not my job to ask why”. Our beds were also made but not changed for several days (they had tomato sauce on them from room service so did need changing) This is only a few examples. It was very obvious that the staff did not want to be there. Also the “cyclone safety pack” consisted on 6 safety pins and a small torch which did not have enough power to actually light up a room.

    Great location

    Nothing, only too much popular, I would like to book 2 nights that’s not available, all booked out. So you must be booked early you can.

    Very clean and comfortable stay, separate bather and toilet that it’s very convenient, good place and free bird discovery and bird feeding. Value breakfast that many foods you can choose cold or hot. Also swimming pools were perfect.

    The decor and comfort of the room was shocking! Everything looked about 20 years old. There was not a single draw to put our clothes in and only enough hanging space to hang 2 shirts and 3 dresses. Lucky there was only 2 of us staying in the room. It said 4 could fit in the room, I doubt that.

    The view was sensational and staff very helpful.

    The heat in the reception area was unbearable and the wait time to check both in and out was much too long.

    We spent one night in the $700 suite floor 19 and one night on floor 1 for half the price … floor 1 although smaller was much nicer, more modern and clean.
