I loved the cleanliness of the rooms, the view of the pool from our room was brilliant. One thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of was there was no room service where you could order food. As the room isn’t self contained sometimes it would have been nice if you could order food directly to your room. Also paper crane restaurant was a little disappointing as being a part of the hotel and being an Asian infused restaurant I would have liked to of ordered a fried rice, but no fried rice on the menu. Other than that it’s quite a nice place to stay.

Great hotel with one huge, major drawback, they have opened bars at the front of the hotel and on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday various events meant mind numbing bass music volume rang through the room. We had a massive day so wanted a bit of a rest in the room wow, no way. The Saturday stopped at 9 and the other nights at 10:30 and that doesn’t sound too bad but when you’ve been out on the reef all day in 30 degree sun and a few lunchtime refreshments last thing you need is your brain fried by a dj. I should say we aren’t in our 20’s but there again not in a retirement village either. Great for tireless teens or twenty somethings.
