The good.

Easy check in process, room was clean, housekeeping did a fantastic job.

The bad.

The hotel Internet went out for days, which controls basically everything there. Couldn't make a phone call, access the Internet, or even watch the t.v. which ( which when traveling with young children is kinda nice to have when you want to take a shower in peace )

Speaking of showers, this is where it really wasn't great. Between about 6 and 10 p.m. there wasn't enough hot water to get the shower above tepid. Many nights it was downright cold especially around 8 p.m.

Next, they advertise laundry facilities for guests. Which technically they do have... But it's one washer and one dryer.... So it was essentially always in use. There is space in their laundry area for multiple machines if they had opted for the stackable front loader style that the maker of the machines they have does produce.

Location is decent, some sketchy businesses nearby but nothing that is going to lead to a concern for safety.

Love this hotel! The rooms are so spacious, comfortable, and super clean! Staff are very helpful and nice. However, I would not recommend including the breakfast in your booking. The food are just boring and not in high quality. You can easily find an eatery near by to have good coffee and fresh made breakfast.

Rooms were nice and bathrooms were lovely, the noise is a problem on the weekends, we stayed from Friday to Sunday and there was events / music playing every afternoon into the night from Friday to Sunday. First night was the worst as it was party music and very loud playing until 11:30pm, we had a early night as we had activities booked for the next day and we couldn’t get to sleep until after 11:30pm when the music stopped. I brought ear plugs and could still hear through my ear plugs. Elevator was a nightmare, it wouldn’t work properly most times.
Pool was nice, the service at reception wasn’t great, asked questions and wouldn’t get a straight answer, reception was unsure on a lot of things relating to hotel, like when the restaurant stopped cooking, what events were on at the hotel, to ask about parking and then reception said you had to pay, which would of been useful information when we were checking in. $25 for 24 hours for parking.
But when we were going to pay, she said don’t worry about it and didn’t charge us. Just a confusing experience.
It would be a great place to stay during the week when there is no events on.

The noise and loud music from Hotel Bar and Bistro from 3pm till midnight Wed to Sat really has deprived us from proper sleep for two days in a roll… they really should have those functions indoor. If your room is facing the pool, definitely you won’t be able to rest well especially when you have early morning tours booked the next day… Good points are: there is a microwave and dining ware, more convenient for instant food lovers. Room service is also great.

Central location and we got it for a good price. Room was comfortable and in good condition. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss. Sometimes we got shower gel/ toilet roll/coffee sometimes we didn’t. It was quickly rectified when we spoke to staff. Pool area was very clean but not the most appealing pool area I gave ever seen. The bar appears to only be open on Fridays and Saturdays. Happy hour on both of these evenings with live music and free finger food on Friday evening. I would definitely stay there again for the right price.

Mixed Feelings

We stayed for 1 night, ( flight layover) the hotel is a nice boutique style hotel but it has some issues, $100 breakage deposit, a bit steep considering it may take 30 days to refund same. Only one lift was working and the keycard was iffy too. Bottle of water in room was a nice touch until I spotted the $2 charge. Breakfast was nice but could add some cheese and yoghurts. Room for improvement I feel.

We stayed here with the family . It is in a good location - central to all amenities. Accommodation itself was fine. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The reason for 3 stars was for the noise. It is across the road from Gilligan's Bar which is a backpackers hostel type of bar and which closes at 3am. Unfortunately, we could not change rooms as the hotel was fully booked.

If we stayed here again, I would absolutely select a room with a view of the pool. This is far enough away from Gilligans, facing the opposite directions and would be quieter.

Other than the noise this was a lovely hotel.

Mixed experience in Cairnes

Location excellent. Happy hour decent. Room and balcony a good size. They charge for water and there is no soap dish in the bathroom. We were on the 4 floor above the restaurant. Surprisingly quiet until some rude people moved in above us. There was nothing but noise from them which made it hard to sleep. Complained and an attendant came to our room and could hear the noise from above. She said she would take care of it and inform the night attendant as her shift was ending soon. Nothing changed, noise off and on all night long. Phoned the front desk but no one answered or the line was busy (4 AM in the morning?). Probably would not stay there again.
