Average Stay

We went there when the weather was really not that great, it was after a cyclone. The stay was great, the rooms is enough for my family of four and the sea view is nice. We can see the sunrise, we were blessed with just one day of good weather. The food at their restaurant is yummy. It’s just that we didnt opt for the buffet because of the buffet menu. The outdoor pool was great, but only one spot is heated. What we didnt like were the following: - we were only given one milk (tetra pack 250mL), I feel like there should be 2. - on our sscond day, my husband and I woke up with a bug bite, we were on different beds. Good thing the kids didnt have it. - we shooed couple of spiders, and had a regular visit of flies - outdoor pool was so cold especially when the weather was windy. It would have been nice for the kids if it was heated on a cold day, not heated if it is on a sunny day (just an opinion) - the soap provided was for both hand soap and body wash. - no designated parking for the room, first come first one to get the good spot - the EV charger has no rule on use as someone jut left their plugin car almost the whole day, not allowing others to be able to use. Although this one is not really on the hotel but on the inconsiderate guest.

All we wanted was a good relax and watch tv in bed after a hard long week after a tangi. Instead after and hour of trying to get tv working I call reception to be told tvs aren’t working and no discount was offered. Was clean and tidy and comfortable which was a plus.

Pleasant Stay

We stayed at a king seaview room which has an unobstructed seaview, a deck leads to large lawn area right by the sea which was so beautiful. Not sure about the cleanliness though we found crumbs of food on the floor and one of the pillows have black marks on. The shower over bath dripping water all over the floor from the glass every time you took a shower. Staff are nice and friendly can't complain. Overall we enjoyed ourselves at Copthorne bay of islands.

Go ahead and book, clean and affordable. Rooms a little dated. Pools are weird with strange unclear access but lovely surroundings. One warm pool but has chipped debis floating in water. No complaints about the food, desserts were delicious, breakfast was a buffet with a lot of choice. Ask what nights dinner is buffet, we missed out and got disappointed. Husband is a large eater and the fine dining portion doesn’t cut it. Eye fillet great, King fish such a small portion it was ridiculous
