We had a family room which was the perfect set up for us. Amazing beach views and everything very easy to access. The only downside was that the cockatoos got in our room and made an absolute mess and ate our food. Although the hotel tells you to not leave the door open I don’t think they stress enough just how bad they are and that they can pick the screen door latch.

Rooms are very tired and need upgrading. You are close to the beach and restaurants - although the service and quality of food in most restaurants on the island is not great (not reefs fault) - book Qualia longpavillion if you can.

We stayed several 1night stay during our 3 weeks in Australia. It was very convenient for catching our next flight to different destinations. It’s walking distance from the Domestic terminal and since my daughter is a power wheelchair user, it made our otherwise complex planning for accessible transportation much simpler and cheaper

Property is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest hotels on the island. very well run. clean and tidy with great facilities. Free beach watersports however watch the tide. they only open an hour each side of high tide so you are limited and during our stay the tide was 8am. so early starts. easy walk down the hill to the marina and associated restaurants and shops. the hotels own restaurant is also good

Lovely hotel with beautiful views over Catseye Bay. The room was large with an enormous balcony. Bed was very comfortable and I like that there was both a bathtub and (separate) shower. The hotel is steps from the beach and 10 mins walk from the Marina and its restaurants (there's also a free shuttle). Highly recommend!

Garden View Room was fairly noisy . Could hear the bus and also smell the smoke from the smokers area. The food options for room service were limited and not that good. Our last stay was really good but the menu is smaller and quality not as good. Room cleaning each day was average, for the price you pay , the service should be so much better. Sand on the floors was left and dirty plates not cleaned. Reception at front desk were unhelpful every time we were there. We have stayed here several times and this visit left us deciding to stay elsewhere next time.
