Room was over 2 hours late to check into. All doors need to be upgraded to soft closing as woken all night with doors slamming. Tv had no Foxtel or casting options. Room service late night options scarce. No mini bar available Not worth the price.

Our room was beautiful with view on the ocean. Breakfast was very good. Beds are comfortable. Reception passed our request for a bucket of ice cubes on, put it took 3 calls and 50 minutes before we got it.Thanks to Allan from reception we were able to celebrate finally. Special thanks to Allan. The heated pool did not seem to be heated at all.

On arriving I was provided a room on the 7th floor on the southern side. Room was good, nice office area, however it was quite noisy...and the window had dislocated from the frame so there was a noticeable gap...which is why I could hear traffic as if I was outside. I complained and was provided another room, this time on the 10th floor..1027....I have never slept in a more noisy room....I literally had to sleep with earpods till about 11pm...and then take them out...still noise but went to sleep with earplugs....the traffic, wind, ocean all provided a constant barrage of noise...I will never EVER stay here and would not recommend this hotel to anyone...maybe I had a bad room??? but even so...final comments...if you want a quiet nights sleep, maybe stay somewhere else.
