"The location of this hotel was great - across from the beach and next to nice bars and restaurants. Nice size room, with adequate furniture. Bed linen good, appliances in the room good. However, the shower leaked terribly and bathtub was in need of replacement. Mostly what I was not happy with was the attitude of the staff. I complained about the chilliness of the pool water and the manager retorted "You are in the tropics now". I live in Brisbane, Queensland. Maybe he thought I came from the South Pole! I informed him that I had been in Port Douglas the previous week, which is 4 hours drive further north into the tropics, and the hotels I stayed in up there had heaters take the initial chill out of the pools. I spent many an hour in their pools. Also, I stupidly left my expensive Samsung phone charger still plugged in when I checked out. I returned to the hotel only five hours later and was told by reception that the next guest had not yet arrived but the cleaners had been through the room. I fully expected to get my charger back. However it was nowhere to be found. I accept that it was my fault for leaving it behind but due diligence would dictate that the management ring the cleaner to see if it was found by them. Instead I was told there were many chargers left behind and there was no reason for the hotel to keep them. Do they throw away good phone chargers or steal them?"
"Lovely room, small but has most things for comfort. Could have another cereal bowl, only one for two guests. Like the opening screening back sliding door for fresh air. Comfy bed, plenty of pillows. Good online communication, helpful and prompt."
"First, it was my first time to Magnetic Island and I was unsure of where to stay on the island. I defaulted to this hotel as it had high customer ratings.
Location: I ended up extending my stay so was able to stay on other parts of the island but my favorite was this one. Although in Nelly Bay, it is on such a quiet street across the bridge from the main town. It was literally a 3 min walk to a beautiful miles Long Beach. Also within a 7 min walk was a great coffee shop, restaurant and grocery store.
Resort: I wouldn’t describe it as a luxury resort but that is why I LOVED it. It felt like family. It was very personalized, VERY CLEAN, and it had all the things you would need. I would rate it 10/10. It was nice to have a washing machine/dryer too. They had a pool table which was great."
"No extra bedding and only a sheet on the bed to sleep under, tv remote didn't work properly. Bathroom floor was very slippery, minimal crockery, Bed was very comfy. Access to what we needed was great. No screens door so unable to leave door open.Overall felt a little dated."
"Beautiful new hotel. Interesting design.
Mini bar very well stocked with goodies to purchase.
Complimentary items extremely lacking.
2 teabags
No toiletries eg toothpaste
Shower cap available on order
Value for money - NO"
