I had a truly disappointing experience at this hotel. While the view from my room was great and it was spacious, the overall condition of the place was unacceptable. The cleanliness left much to be desired, particularly with the bedding and carpets. It feels like it needs a serious overhaul in many areas, which is a shame because it has potential.

The resort has potential with large rooms and stunning views, but it really needs some freshening up. While the location next to the beach is fantastic, the overall condition of the facilities is showing its age. For the price I paid, I'd consider staying again, but only if they make some improvements.

The hotel offered a pleasant stay overall with a great view and a comfortable apartment, but there were some maintenance issues that detracted from the experience. The location near Tarcoola Beach was fantastic, and the pool area was well-kept, adding to the enjoyment. However, some rooms lacked proper amenities and required renovations to align with expectations.

My stay was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, I enjoyed a beautifully renovated room with a stunning view of the foreshore, and the location was perfect for our family. Unfortunately, I also encountered significant issues with another room that was far from ideal, including cleanliness and maintenance problems. The service experience varied drastically, leaving me feeling quite frustrated at times.
