Hotel pool and surrounds were fantastic! Restaurant served excellence food at a very reasonable price. Rooms were old and in desperate need of updating, i have doubts theyd even been cleaned as the floor was filthy! AC didnt work which is very poor for Mackay and hard to find anyone at reception to have this rectified. Overall ok but AC is a must!! Ro

Love the pool facilities, quiet. Little bit of a cruise ship feeling with the bar and restuarant near the pool. Rooms were not well maintained. The main light wasn’t working, soaps and shampoos not filled or not working. Absolutely no room service, not even fresh towels. Guess I shouldn’t complain considering the price.
