However when we arrived back at the hotel after the Penguin Parade on a freezing June night, there was no hot water or heating in the room. I called reception (closed!) but the manager of the...

Charged $170 per night, it was a complete joke as the room was disgusting. Will never stay there again, dirty spa, outdated furniture and tv, the building is falling apart, room was extremely damaged and hotel said they had no idea of damage so would have been charged for damage if they were not notified, paper thin walls, free breakfast...

If you have inadvertently booked this hotel and later discovered the low rating, do not fear. It is not as bad as it seems. My group stayed in a room large enough for 4 travelers and the rooms located on the 3rd floor offer nice views of the beach and sea. The beds were comfortable and bathroom adequate though small....
