Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed for three nights and enjoyed our stay, would definitely return. Yes the room was tired with stains on the carpet and our main complaint would be the super low couch - too tricky for us to get out of. However the kitchen was great with a dishwasher too. Shower had great pressure. There was air con and ceiling fans. We had recordable Sky TV. The beach is just across the road and is stunning. The pool is nice, as is the spa. There was a dryer we could pay for and use just down the corridor. Staff with helpful. We felt it was reasonable value. Would be an amazing place if someone spent a few dollars on it.

Very tired - needs renovation. The carpet and furniture in our room were covered in stains which no amount of vacuuming was ever going to change. It is unacceptable to be charged for rooms in this condition. I certainly wouldn't tolerate it in my own home. The bedding was discoloured and I felt uncomfortable sleeping in it. Also needs replacing. The kitchen was the best part however the fridge stopped working because it was iced up. We went to the restaurant one night - very average - we asked for a cocktail to be told the ice machine was broken. Went back the next night for a cocktail - ice machine broken again. We couldn't understand why they didn't send someone to the pub up the road to buy some ice. I feel very sorry for the staff who were all very pleasant and apologetic. It's not fair to expect them to keep apologising when clearly some money needs to be spent to bring the property up to the standard required for the price they are charging.

The Chocolate fountain was interesting. The service was reasonable, however the waiter did not know what Christmas music was. There was a need to prompt the bar person to provide glasses for the $40.00 bottle of wine & a stand with a bucket and ice. Christmas dinner was overpriced and really just a buffet. There are not many choices in Northland so this was one of the few places to go to. They definitely made the most of this. There was nothing Christmasy about it apart from a few small pieces of Christmas cake. There were salads and pork belly, fish in a sauce and some kind of deep fried fish that made me wonder if it was recycled. The pork belly was smothered in gravy which also made me wonder the same. Several people attended although some tables that were reserved did not show up. I would not go there again anyone who has worldly experience or hospitality experience would be unsatisfied. The free coffee voucher was a bonus. The view of the beach is nice, the staff friendly.

LOVED IT. I got a 1 Bedroom Superior Suite, room 705. I stayed for 2 nights and it was so snug and warm, also very clean and tidy. Room service was exceptionally fast and their chicken & bacon pasta is super good 🤤🥰

My partner and I came in for dinner on Easter Sunday - we were staying at the Doubtless Bay Villas for the Easter weekend. I ordered Lamb Kofta as a starter and Ribs with Asian slaw as a main course. The waitress brought my lamb to the table and it didn't take long for me to realise that it wasn't cooked properly. It was pink on the inside and in fact there was a small piece of completely raw lamb on the end of one of the skewers. I did eat a little bit of it and was showing it to my partner. I also told him that the Tzatziki wasn't very good either, however that may also just be personal preference. Next thing, the waitress brought out my main course. There had been no questions about how the meal was in between so I had no opportunity to explain my thoughts. In addition to that, I still had the entree in front of me. I said to the waitress that I still had my entree and she made a comment along the lines of "oh yes" and then put the main course down on the table anyway. I pushed the entree to one side as I wasn't really eating it anyway. The Ribs were quite good - the flavour was lacking in my opinion but that was just personal preference - they were cooked well. The Asian slaw was incredibly poor. It was a pile of shredded green and purple cabbage with a blob of mayo on the top. It was even a properly dressed coleslaw and certainly not Asian style that would have been dressed with lime, sesame oil, fish sauce etc. It was just a big pile of raw cabbage and no other vegetables. I also had an extremely disappointing Pina Colada but again, I can put that down to personal preference but the green dyed dessicated coconut that was sprinkled on the top was really unpleasant. My partner said his dinner of Cauli Manchurian followed by the Lamb Shank was very underseasoned and not enjoyable, however this is not something we would complain about but we think you should know that the quality wasn't there. When we left, I went to the bar as I wanted to give the waitress a tip but that didn't happen as she said they can't take a tip by EFTPOS payment and my partner had already paid for the dinner. I wanted to give her a tip because she was kind and pleasant. I told her my thoughts on my dinner and she apologised. She was a very nice young woman and unfortunately I didn't get her name. But it was clear that the three very young women serving in the bar and restaurant that night were very undertrained. She had no idea what to do when she brought my main course out and the entree was still in front of me - mostly uneaten. I also felt that the waitstaff were underdressed for their role - black tights/yoga pants and tshirts are very unprofessional looking for dinner service at a restaurant where we spent almost $200.

We arrived at 2.30 check in time and were given the key to our room. We had a beach front unit with a bed and a fold out couch. The room was clean and had lots of useful amenities, including a dish washer. I am glad I didn't sleep on the fold out couch. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the air conditioning and fan. We tried the cocktails- $17 each. Nice to sit overlooking the beach and enjoy the afternoon sun. Staff were friendly and helpful. During dinner the manager took time to explain that she is working hard to improve the standards of the hotel. This is encouraging. Although we haven't stayed overnight at the resort before, we have dined, had coffee etc. several times over the last few years and it has been very average. We have been going for the view. The Hotel pool was clean, but sadly the hot tub not able to be used. Great to sit under palm trees on sun loungers in relative quiet. We didn't make use of the tennis court. Our dinner was well priced. I had a delicious chicken and bacon fettucini $29. My partner had pork ribs $32 with a very tasty coleslaw. Dessert was a flaming Brownie. I am glad the staff suggested 2 spoons as it was very filling. Tasty too. The brownie came with a white ganache and dried raspberries. In the morning we headed to the cafe end of the restaurant to have breakfast. For me, this is was a disappointment. I didn't enjoy my breakfast, particularly the hash browns. I didn't like the taste of them at all. We appreciate the manager trying to lift the standards of the place, training staff and having positive messages along the hallway. Keep at it. You have a superbly sited hotel, make the most of it.

I was impressed by my allocated room, here, which had a full kitchen, lovely comfortable bed and a terrace area for seating outdoors. Check-in was seamless even though new staff were being trained. The dining room had sea views, small tables seating 4 guests which could be made into larger table space for groups. Service was efficient and the food prepared and presented well. It has a small car park available.

Do not believe the pics they are so old, this resort, restaurant, rooms and grounds are a filthy disgrace. The poor few staff are out of there depth, absolutely no training with meals going to various wrong tables. Absolutely no service, you have to clear your own table to sit at, then order at bar youself paying first just like a takeaway shop. Ground person in gumboots walking through the restaurant swing a broom. Owners If you dont care sell to someone who does please!

Where do I start… booked this accommodation because they had a secure carpark, spa pool and swimming pool. Apon arrival after a 5 hour drive we were told no secure carpark, spa and pool are out of order, no emails to inform us of this. Infront of our room there was a gravel Drive access onto the lawn, so I parked in front of our room, but was told to move it to the beach side. Even though we have an alarm I wasn’t comfortable with that but I did as I was told, over night one of your sad sack locals have smashed and tried to break into my car. Pitty your locals put a bad reputation on your town. When it came to having dinner at your restaurant, I asked for the Thai curry but was told sorry we have none left (it was only 6pm) so I got a cardboard burger instead, the patty had obviously been frozen, a group of locals came in while we were eating and ordered a couple Thai curries, to my surprise, they were served their Thai curries, I guess there was curry after all? No information books in the room, says there is room service but no menus at all. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.
