This is an awesome location it is just a shame that the property is very dated in the rooms. I stayed here 15yrs ago or more & nothing has changed it seems.

Great place
Has a lovely beach feel to it with units around big (shallow!) pool and well-kept gardens. Across road from beach and central to everything but relaxed & reasonably quiet & Coolangatta still has a lot of its charm. Unit roomy and comfortable but could do with a bit more in way of utensils, glasses etc.

We enjoyed our stay with resort being right opposite the beach, with parks and shops in walking distance. The pool area was a highlight being family friendly and spacious.

resort was lovely, helpfull staff and great facilities. Location is awesome to. the rooms arent all the same, so what you get might vary, we changed rooms as the one we were allocated was not like the advertised room at all, so we were lucky to be able to swop to a different one, however if we had to stay with the original one, i would have been disappointed. staff were understanding and helpfull when i asked to change, i was pleased they could accommodate this request.

Disappointing
The room was good and met our needs but the cleanliness of the apartment was disappointing. There was food on the balcony along with screws on the floor. There were ants on the work bench, the bathroom window was broken and could not be closed and there was a lot of noise.

Clean and tidy. Lovely pool area. Good quiet location. Staff friendly. Kitchen very very basic and plates, cutlery glasses need updating. Our apartment slept 4-6 but only just enough equipment basic limited old equipment in kitchen. For the cost I wouldn't stay again because of the kitchen facilities.

Great location but needs a revamp
A great location right near the beach and shops! The hotel is, however, fairly dated with the pool heater broken (which I only found out on seeing the sign at the lift) and rooms pretty average in cleanliness, although this is fairly standard for hotels in the area.

Great location
This was our second stay here in a few weeks. I had requested a room not far from the elevator and had received notification that I would have one. The staff member apparently didn't know that and we ended up down two long corridors to our room. I'd forgotten my request and we were only there for two nights so didn't complain. Apart from that our apartment was excellent with a full kitchen and spacious living area. The bedroom had plenty of storage and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is close to many good restaurants and cafes and the beach is just across the road. Twin Towns Club is minutes away as is the shopping centre.
