Absolutely stunning resort ! Heaps of parking. The pool was absolutely amazing with how warm it was. The rooms were quiet and peaceful. The staff were very lovely to deal with. Two things I would like to point out is our room was quite hard to find due to lack of signage to room 605 and I respectfully ask that someone is to look into infant safe sleeping as adding a extra mattress to a portacot is dangerous it even says on the ports cot not to do so. :) Otherwise thank you so much and we will definitely be back

Well maintained resort with great family oriented facilities. Can see upgrades happening with new carpets being laid and touch ups going on. New tennis and multi sports ground just upgraded. Room was spacious and cozy.

We were disappointed as had wanted to stay at this resort forever but it was not the best hotel experience. It is a massive hotel and very noisy at night and early morning. Not the cleanest and the rooms are dated. The corridors are a maze and very dated too. Breakfast price was unaffordable for a family of four. Staff at check in ridiculously slow and disinterested. We won’t be rushing back.

Had two bookings, first night in studio then three nights in Family Villa. Rubbish and recycling not collected. Cockroaches in both units. Door lock Broken in family unit. No compendium in either unit. Checked into studio OK, then told we did not have a booking for following three nights. we had to provide email proof of Expedia booking before they accepted booking. Others in que in front of me could still not book in at 5:30 PM, including couple with baby and elderly parent. Hot pool was not disabled friendly, struggled to get out with failing knees. will never return nor recommend to others.

Very dated premises, but still comfortable. I feel like the prices don’t reflect the stay, when a few of the facilities were not available. We were unaware that the pavilion restaurant would be closed. I did like being away from the hustle and bustle of the cbd. Great for kids with the park, pool and lawn area.

Amazing expansive resort that seems to have got lost in the 90's and hasnt been updated since. Literally has everything, the staff are outstanding but very tired decor. My kids loved the pond and bridge but there was rubbish in it and it looked filthy, they wanted to resuce the fish... The restaurant is classic and classy so still holding its own, food a bit over priced, but the rest just felt sad, tired and ignored. Wont book here again.
