Guest Reviews
- Sarah (8/5): - Perfect location and the resort is very nice - especially the pool area. Apartment is perfectly located to access the pool. Second bedroom is not sound or lightproof which was ok but was fine for our short stay. For a longer stay it might be a bit annoying.
- Jade Hickling (1/5): -
- Kimberley (10/5): -
- PETER (8/5): Enjoyable - Uncomfortable furniture
- Cherilee (8/5): Week away with my husband for our anniversary and his birthday. - It was nice being close to the spa and pool. Very relaxing at the end of our day sitting on the chairs on the veranda and in the spa. Beautiful resort. Staff very friendly. Not sure if it’s on the property but there was loud banging for hours in the evening. Otherwise it was great.
- Louise (7/5): Great value for money family accommodation. Great central location. Bring your wetsuit pools cold. - Location was perfect. Value for money. Pool and garden was a pleasant experience. Room could have been cleaned better. In particular the bathroom. Sheets need replacing old and stained. Pool is freezing. Balcony furniture needs updating
- Carmel (8/5): -
- Kieron (10/5): -
- Annette (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, handy to all amenities....dining, beach and shopping.
Accommodation was comfortable and accessible to the pool area and beach. Couldn't really fault anything.
- Maris (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stayed here a few times now beautiful place love the pool and room is very nice The tap in bathroom needs to be fixed
- Catherine (8/5): Very good - Stunning pool. Great location 2room apartment not totally private but nice rooms
- Christine (8/5): We enjoyed the stay, just for the cost could have been a little better. - Loved the pool and loved the location. We only got 1 clean in 15 days, i was expecting 2 cleans and restock of basics. Had to buy basics like toilet paper and dish wash as the amount left would not have covered us until we got out first service about 10 days in.
I think more comfortable outdoor setting would also be a huge improvement.
- Elaine (9/5): Superb -
- Bronwyn (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was very nice with everything we needed.
Beds very comfortable and being able to walk straight out to the pool was perfect.
Highly recommended.
Thankyou.
- Tina (7/5): Good for our requirements - Location and pool area Musty smell. The aircon in our room was not efficient and was not cool enough. Tap in bathroom needs to be repaired as it’s very loose.
- Tonola (5/5): Needs work - Location The bathroom needs attention, towel rails, vanity tap, toilet lid needs maintenance, the bedhead and carpets were dirty, the cushions on the couch inside and outside were filthy.
- Katie (10/5): Fabulous Time - Great location, very comfortable accommodation Nothing, it was great
- Kaye (10/5): Lovely apartment and resort with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday and ready access to swims in beautiful pool - Perfect location close to beach, shops, restaurants and had a fantastic lagoon pool! Nothing to dislike!
- Lee (2/5): Too expensive for what we got unfortunately. Could be so much nicer with a little more time spent on cleaning - Location The property was grubby. Holes in the sheets. The kitchen was grimy. Outside needed a good water blast. Stains on pillows, carpet and furniture. The spa pool needed a good vaccume. My kids were finding rubbish on the bottom of it.
- Daniella (10/5): Serene comfort - Great location, spacious living area fantastic balcony walk out to pool. Relaxed atmosphere I have nothing to complain about
- Nicole (7/5): Great for short stays - The location and pool
- Julia (8/5): Drift would be well suited to families. I was there for business so the open bedrooms were awkward really. Palm Cove is - Loved the tropical vibe pool area.
Loved the scenic short walk to conveniences cafes restaurants and beach.
Cool tropical reception area. A tad dated but fine for what we needed. Place is a maze to wind through to find the car. Car parking numbers were perplexing.
- Jessica (1/5): Bad - The pool and facilities were great Our room had a very bad mould smell, also mould on walls and ceiling.
- Courtney (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maris (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the pool and the.guy we booked from was lovely That we had to much rubbish and could travel find a big skip bin as we had a drink and couldn't find a bin had to put it in pool bins as our room wasn't cleaned as we were hear for a week they should of checked on if we had rubbish as we didn't know where to put it amd look like dirty
- Matthew (9/5): Superb -
- Agata (10/5): Beautiful place with beautiful view -
- Wood (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carol (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stéphane (8/5): Cool -
- Ingrid (6/5): You were excellent to deal with but you desperately need a new bigger and comfortable bed and more blankets. - Location, clean, great communication, beautiful pool. Very small and very uncomfortable bed
No extra blankets
Stuffy/hot spare room
- Kerry (8/5): Lovely apartment in a great location, clean, very comfortable beds and seating, loved being able to walk out the back on - Location, outlook to pool, comfortable beds, close to everything 2nd bedroom had no power and no cooling and no lighting. Shower spray was like needles
- Ross (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious clean room, very pleasant and helpful staff. Big pool.
- Jake (10/5): It was fantastic we travelled up there to get married and we could ask for a better place to do it i - Location was really beautiful, the room we had was really nice walked out to the deck and the pool was right there There was n9thing that we didn't like at all
- Hilary (6/5): Was ok, walking distance to most things, but probably better for families, the room was average. - Walking distance to everything.
The pool and spa were great. The room was supposedly 2 bedrooms but it was a case of sliding doors dividing the room into two.
The bathroom was small.
Our room was right next to the pool which made it a bit noisy at times, plus it was hard sometimes to get into the spa as families were sitting in there with their young kids because it was shallow, not using it as a spa.
- Joseph (4/5): Disappointing - Pool. But too cold. Rooms are so poorly configured. Second bedroom doesn't have a fixed light nor PowerPoint. So ordinary.
- Peta (7/5): Good -
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Robin (10/5): great place to stay. - excellent apartment, great location , brilliant pool nothing
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Janet (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional - perfectly located within walking distance to everything.
the private pool access was really convenient and the pool
offered shade and sun throughout the day which is great
for kids. The couches require a good steam clean but everything
else was clean.
- Suellen (9/5): We really enjoyed the stay. The hotel location was lovely. - It was a very comfortable unit and very well located near the spa and pool. The lounge had grit/sand on it when we arrived. I had to brush it off.
- Bunwaree (3/5): Great location, terrible service. - Proximity to wedding reception and chapel The staff at reception, tall, biggish girl with dark hair was the rudest reception staff I have ever encountered. She desperately needs a hospitality course.Turned us away at reception, advising that she had no idea where "drift away" was, despite the fact that there was a sign pointing to the reception. When I called the host and he (not very politely either) asked us to present at reception again, she provided us with the keys, never apologised. There are clearly issues between the host and the reception staff, please do not bring it to your guest and keep your dirty laundry to yourselves. Appalling service. In addition the room was dirty, floors, and drawers were full of dust.
- Mary (9/5): Superb -
- Ann (9/5): beautiful location, reception staff helpful, unit size good for 2 people. - Excellent location, pool pillows, outdoor furniture
- Meg (8/5): great family holiday, the kids spent a lot of time in the resort spa! - location to the pool and beach
easy late check in strange layout and no option to completely block off the “kids” room (frosted doors)
kitchen could be a bit better equiped (with basics and bbq tools)
only 2 towels provided (we got more from reception)
pool was very cold!
