I will echo what many others have said that this hotel badly needs updating .... Im sure it was once a truly magnificent 5 Start resort but not now. I stayed here for 4 nights as part of a 3 week trip to Singapore and various parts of Australia. We arrived here after staying at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore, so... more

After reading the reviews here we didn't have big expectations.... however we were impressed. We had a king lagoon room - this room had a small patio with a table & chairs we could sit out on - funnily enough these rooms are cheaper then the higher level rooms that have no balcony or outdoor area - we preferred being... more

Don't stay here unless you want to be dissapointed , Rooms are very run down , hotel needs a major renovation , the pool areas are very nice and the buffet food is good (but $62 pp for lunch and $84 pp for dinner . more

I would agree with other reviews that describe that property as very dated overall...which is sad, because the location is very nice and there is a lot of potential for the hotel to be much better (it appears that it just needs someone to invest money into much-needed renovations). Every aspect of the property (pools, grounds, lobby, rooms) could really... more

I have to say our stay there at this beautiful beach resort hotel was MAGNIFICENT, it did look a bit tired though but that didn't affect us a single bit. Arriving at its beautiful lobby already blew us away, I used to live in Brisbane/Gold Coast for about 5-6 yrs and eventhough its like home to us, the stay here... more

Has not been refurbished since it opened over 20 years ago. "Garden View" room had no garden view. The room stank (must have been an smoking room in the past....room 3066). Stay at home for a more enjoyable stay. Just an overpriced and very ordinary hotel. more

This hotel was an idea the infamous businessman Christopher Skase had in the mid 1980's. It's over 20 years old, and how does it fare? Yes, it is showing its age. The floor tiles in the rooms & bathrooms desperately need replacing. The decor is very 1980's. Don't expect flat screen television sets in the room or cd/dvd players. However,... more

Fantastic hotel and service. Great room/ameneties etc, etc. Only negative is that it is getting dated and a facelift would be a major plus. Nevertheless - excellent. more

My wife & I spent the weekend celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary at this resort. I guess the problems we had were related to our level of expectation. I would not have expected major (external) walkways to be approved for smoking, other (drunk ?) guests running & screaming down the hallways after midnight, children running around the breakfast buffet like... more
