Centrally located, clean and staff were friendly.

The property itself is tired and not particularly well maintained. Things like glass brick taped up with black tape, verandah door very difficult to open, louvers not staying open, poor lighting on hall to rooms and spa / part of pool was closed due to croncrete falling off the spa.

We would recommend avoiding booking here if you are relying on the advertised shuttle service from the airport. What they do a poor job of communicating is that the shuttle service they have costs $200 and must be booked 48hrs in advance.

As another heads up to anyone who this may effect who are booking soon: the pool was quite unclean during our stay and the spa was run down with no schedule to repair it.

All of this said, the rooms were fairly clean and the staff were very friendly.

Positioned beautifully across from the beach and next door to Rattle and Hum.
The one bedroom suite had no sink in the kitchenette - dishes had to be taken into the bathroom to be washed. The sink is situated beside the toilet - not terribly hygenic. Kettle only just fit under the tap. Apartments are very dated, our top sheet was torn, paintwork scratched, our beach view was a slither - main view was of the old, worn colourbond roof and leaf filled gutters. A five night stay included only two bathroom towels - more entailed a 65 dollar fee! cheaper to buy some.

The room was clean, however the whole property requires a bit of work. Had a 2 bedroom unit which was 2 rooms with an interconnecting door. The toaster in 1 room didn’t work, the original stovetop wasn’t working and just had a portable one on top of it. The soap holder in the 2nd room was broken … sharp edges just left there? Loose power points so sometimes they worked snd sometimes not. The spa had broken tiles.
However the staff were lovely and the location is great also. Would be awesome with a makeover and a few repairs.

How was this property rated 4.5stars!! It’s false advertising!
The room was so small , Small Tv , hard to operate . Shower looked gross.
There was something wrong with the bed . Probably 2 single beds joined together with a big hump in the middle , actually fell of couple of times due to lack of space and most of all , uncomfortable . Maybe the worst experience I have ever had.

I booked a studio apartment with a pool view for 8 nights. I was on the first floor and that was perfect for me as I felt really safe given I was on my own. The bathroom was pretty old and tired and definitely in need of refurbishing but it was all clean so no complaints there.
I would have appreciated having a lounge or lounge chair to sit on as I was only able to sit at the table or on the bed.
I was very happy not to cook so just having the kettle/toaster/microwave was fine, though it was a bit awkward washing dishes in the bathroom sink.
There are so many great food options at your doorstep it’s a great location.
The pool and surrounds is lovely and quite sheltered. I would stay here again. I arranged a transfer through Paradise on the Beach and the transfer company was great.

The facility is very dated and not maintained well. At least for the price we paid for. In my opinion, A 3 stars is lucky. There is no windows, the sliding door opens to the court yard, which right face to the BBQ, outdoor dining area, pool and spa. no privacy at all. The bathroom was very old, the shower is over the bath, the glass screen was attached so badly to the bath and try to stop the water from the shower onto the floor. A lot of water was on the floor from the taking a shower. I booked through Expedia, i didn't realzied that there is no service at all for this 6 days booking. I accept that there is $60 fee for one service. But no change of towels for 6 nights stay is a bit too much for us especially it's a tropical seaside reef holiday. On the check in, there was only the key handleed over to us, wifi password , no direction at all. We are on the 1st floor, thought the reception is 1st floor, but mistakenly, there is a ground floor. A bit disappointed ..., we have to come back to ask... I wouldn't recommeded it to anyone for that price.

Another great stay at Paradise on the beach

This was the latest of many stays at Paradise on the Beach and, as usual, it was excellent. The apartment (#102) was clean and spacious with some water views. All the facilities were fine although having taps and a sink in the kitchen area would mean not having to fill the kettle and wash dishes in the bathroom basin. This aside, we look forward to our next stay at POTB.

Ok, so, it’s in a convenient location for the beach, restaurants, bars. The hotel staff were very nice. The room itself was clean but it’s a little dated and could do with an upgrade. It’s noisy at night as it’s so close to the bars etc. There are only 8 or 9 parking spaces so if you get back later it’s street parking. One night we had to park half a mile down the road.
