Great property near the surfers. Has good amenities and they were great at helping out with small requests such as later check out time, a microwave for the room due to kids amongst a couple of things. Great breakfast options in the buffet. Improvement suggestions: Omlette station takes too long but the queue blocks all other egg stations. Coffee machine produced mildly warm coffee (but was fixed on last day of stay).

We were impressed with everything here at Voco, during Easter they arranged wonderful activities for the kids and staff are super helpful and amazing. Tram is literally right outside and plenty of dining options to choose if not staying to eat at the hotel. We will definitely come again.
