Staff were lovely, however we had booked an ocean view room so we could sit on the balcony with wine and cheese and look at the ocean...which we couldnt do as we were given a first floor room with a solid wall around the balcony. Sound was also a concern, we could hear everything little noise from rooms around us.

Great but a couple of niggles
A really lovely, new hotel with wonderful balconies, nice linens, great pool area etc. My 2 small criticisms are - I couldn’t find any water stations around hotel - no coffee machine in room - in 2024 I see a coffee machine as a basic hotel amenity particularly when no onsite coffee venue. Would stay again but a couple of simple improvements would make it exceptional

A wonderful experience
A beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. The room was facing the ocean and the view was stunning. The bed and linen were so comfortable and adjoining property with pool and restaurants convenient. A bank of scooters close by made for lots of practical and fun trips around Townsville. Would love to return!
