Lovely hotel, but a little tired in certain areas. The pool had quite a few tiles missing, but not to the detriment of a swim. The surroundings of the pool had plenty of sun lounges, but a few more umbrellas would be good. All in all a very enjoyable stay and would stay again.

Clean, spacious & well appointed balcony room overlooking waterfront. Comfy bed, nice bed linen & towels but shower tap over bath was difficult to operate. Garden bed on balcony was neglected and in need of a gardener & painter. Plent of sun lounges but not terribly comfortable. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Gin Social was pleasant to pass an hour or two and desk staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend a few days here.

Very comfortable and in a great location with views across the water. Very close to the reef ferry terminal and a short stroll to the main drag. Has a slight air of tropical decay, but everything was clean and the service excellent.
