My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious but had a lingering smell of cigarettes and could have been cleaner. The service was inconsistent, with some staff members being rude. Despite these issues, the location was convenient, close to the beach and Marina, but the cost of hiring buggies was steep. The dining options were varied but noisy due to many children. Overall, there were positives and negatives during my stay.

I was delighted by the room's beach view, though some minor issues took away from the experience. The service, while friendly, lacked attention to detail at times. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to the beach and Main St Dining was good, but with room for improvement in cleanliness standards. The facilities were adequate, but some areas seemed outdated.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were located right at the very end far away from the lifts, between levels 13 to 19, offering awesome outdoor facilities and a breathtaking view from the balcony overlooking the water. However, the location could be challenging if you're on a budget due to expensive buggy hire. The service was exceptional, especially with the luggage assistance, but some areas were in need of refurbishment. The dining experience was very good with a variety of options, although it could be pricey for average eaters. Overall, a magical and memorable experience.

Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were perfect in every single way - from the breathtaking view and top-notch amenities to the spotless cleanliness. Unfortunately, the size was a bit of an issue, but that was due to the hotel being fully booked during our stay. Moving to a coral view room, we were pleased to find a spacious accommodation.

During winter, the rooms more than make up for any shortcomings. They were well laid out and quite spacious, with only a couple of minor gripes that could be easily fixed. However, we had to switch to a different room as the family room wasn't available for our whole stay.

The hotel offers massive rooms with astonishing views, but the paper-thin walls compromise privacy. The service is attentive and accommodating, yet booking a restaurant can be a challenge without reservations. The location is fantastic, but additional costs for buggy hire may affect budget travelers. The dining options provide a variety, with fresh unlimited pancakes being a standout. Overall, a great stay with room for improvement in privacy and dining reservations.

What a wonderful stay! The hotel is located right at the very end, with fresh towels and a slight smell of chlorine, but the room was huge compared to our previous stop. The service was very friendly, and the rooms for the price we paid were great. The location could sit and chill out, maybe with a pool table or arcade games, but it's a little far from beaches and restaurants if you can't access a buggy. The dining experience was fantastic, with heaps of options and clearly labeled food. Overall, a delightful experience.
