Our stay had its ups and downs. While the view from our beachfront site was unbeatable, finding the check-in area was confusing due to poor signage. The facilities like the golf course were decent, and we enjoyed good food at the restaurant, though it wasn't extraordinary. Overall, I'd consider staying again, but there were definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

The cabins looked run down from the outside and had ripped foam mattresses that needed replacing, but inside, they were spacious enough with a super king bed and helpful amenities like a washer and dryer.

My experience at this resort was quite disappointing. While the beachfront view was breathtaking, the condition of the unit we stayed in was unacceptable. It was moldy, and we faced multiple issues with the amenities. The service lacked proper guidance, making it tough to find check-in. Overall, I would not recommend this place for a family vacation due to these factors.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The setting is lovely and ideal for families, with plenty of outdoor activities and a clean, comfortable cabin. But there were definitely some issues. The dining options fell short, and I found the overall maintenance to be lacking, which was disappointing given the price we paid for our stay.

5.2/10

We had a mixed experience at this resort. The location is lovely and close to the beach, and the wildlife we encountered was a delightful surprise. However, the cabins are showing their age and could use a thorough clean and some repairs. If you're looking for a family getaway, the kids can have a great time, but don't expect luxury.

Rooms

The cabins were spacious, but unfortunately, they were quite rundown with ripped mattresses and a need for maintenance.

Service

The service was lacking, as it seemed like there weren't many staff members attending to maintenance, leaving one person handling everything.

The resort is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the beach, and we enjoyed seeing wallabies and ducks nearby.

Dining

The dining options were mediocre at best. Although the lady in charge was very accommodating with dinner options, the quality of the food didn't meet our expectations.

Facilities

The facilities are basic and need improvements. The washing machine leaked, and the overall upkeep seems to have been ignored.

5.0/10

My experience at this 'Resort' was nothing short of disappointing. The facilities were outdated and poorly maintained, and the lack of safety made it hard to relax. The grounds had natural beauty, but that was overshadowed by the numerous issues with the accommodations. For $128 a night, it's far from worth it.

Rooms

The villa had mould in the shower, no kitchen light, and no outdoor furniture, making it very uncomfortable.
