Microwave and television not working, the smallest bathroom ever, the hand basin was set so high a child would find it impossible to reach the taps, and you needed to turn sideways to use the toilet or the shower and no where to hang your towel afterwards

Easy check in. There was a sheet with a hole covering the couch. There was a doona with no cover on the main bed. I would assume this does not get washed each use. The microwave did not heat up food. There was only 3 coffee packets. We went to wash up only to find a dish brush that was old and warm out. These things could be so easy to fix to make the place better

No wifi password given and no one at reception at all to ask. Our bed was a king bed but the bottom, non fitted sheet was only a queen so it did not fit at all and moved whenever we rolled over.

Aircon barely worked. Small and very old TV that can hardly see, the room was tidy but not clean, wasn’t given the WiFi details until the next day when about to check out. No coffee sachets, no shampoo or conditioner and was told that they’ll restock tomorrow.
Only positive - the bed was comfortable
Way overpriced compared to other properties.

Be prepared that this property backs onto a Cemetary- giving it a creepy vibe.Other guests were very noisy until small hours. Room advertised was way smaller than photo( wide angle) and there was not even a tiny bottle of shampoo in the shower.The room says it sleeps 3 - that is if you want your child in the bed. Overall i can say that i hope that the real “ Paradise” is going to be a step up from this

I was sent a txt message that the key would be left in the room. Only key was in back door, popped out for pizza and ended up locked out. There was no soap, local information was from last year. Glasses were sticky, cups stuck to saucers,dead bugs on the kitchen bench. Also, we had a view of the cemetery from the balcony.
Its a perfectly fine place but needs a bit more care and if I did stay there again, I would definitely ask for a downstairs room without a view of the cemetery!

This property was overpriced and tired. Paying $ 225 per night (!!!!) we didn't even receive fresh towels and our bed was unmade. There was broken glass outside our room door from our neighbour and the bathroom had a thick layer of soot over it from the open window. At the very least we though the balcony could've been swept clean of leaves, a garbage bag put in the kitchen tidy area and the verandah table wiped over. The lampshades next to the bed were rickety and almost falling apart. For the amount we paid I feel ripped off and very poor value for money.

Try somewhere else

We left our booking till late so didn’t have many options when we booked to stay here.
There is a note in the kitchen that says you must wash your own cups/plates etc or be charged extra, that’s ok, but no tea towel to dry with, only 1 teaspoon in the room ( which has beds for 3) only 2 glasses and very limited cooking utensils etc.
There was no hand towel in the bathroom, but worse than that, the toilet seat was broken so you had to balance carefully so it didn’t slide off!
The room wasn’t clean, we moved the lounge and it hadn’t been vacuumed underneath for ages. The room was tiny, which was fine if the other issues weren’t so bad.

Nice roomy hotel walking distance to the beach.

It's a nice complex, with a roomy area inside with a nice king sized bed and handy kitchenette, table and t.v. The bathroom is roomy enough too. The only thing is, you had to turn your neck 45 drgrees when sitting on the bed to watch the t.v. The room was a bit dark, too. More lighting would fix that. There is a nice BBQ area in the garden too, and an outside tap to wash off the sand from the beach before you come inside. Parking is easy, with palm trees shading your car from the western sun.

Pros & Cons

The hotel was comfortable such as the bed. Tv was in a awkward spot. It felt like we walked in to a already used room. The toliet roll was used and the soap dispenser was nearly finished. BEWARE: next to a cemetary which is quiet uncomfortable and off putting . Although staff was positive in our stay.

Find somewhere else !!!

Upon arriving at Paradise(?!) Haven motel we were directed to our room, which at first impression seemed fine. By 7am the next morning we had 4 complaints:
(1) At 8.30pm after 3 and a half minutes in the shower we ran out of hot water
(2) At 11.30pm - at the same time as the balcony lights went out - the booster box for television reception was turned off rendering the television useless
(3) The alarm clock provided did not work
(4) Our kitchen drawer contained 1 fork and 1 teaspoon - for two people

After ringing management (as reception is often closed with a note on the door), 3 hours later we were provided 2 forks, the clock in our room was swapped for one in another room (sorry to whomever had that room next!),the hot water issue they had no answer for, and the tv reception issue was explained as: \"oh, that sometimes happens\".
?????

My advice to anyone intending on staying in this motel would be to do your best to find somewhere else !!
