Both my partner and I were very disappointed in Opal Cove Resort. The rooms were nothing like they looked on the official website, we booked and paid for a resort room (with an apparent view of the resort) but on arrival asked for an upgrade to an ocean view (which was an extra $20 p/night) and accepted. On the way... more

Looked at the reviews from Trip Advisor, was a bit iffy to book - glad I did. Arrived at 2pm they were still cleaning the room, but gave us free complimentary drinks while we waited (about 20 minutes). Went down to the pool area after settling in, had a fabulous afternoon (kids loved the pool). Went for a walk down... more

Well appointed hotel where we got last minute accommodation in a room with ocean views. Had a room service meal which was simple but not expensive and good. Satff were friendly and helpful. more

We got the standby rate of $98 which was good value compared to other deals around. The room was very spacious with nice hinterland views; bed was a very comfy kingsize. Beautiful location next to the beach which is worth a walk on. My only disappointment was the cold pool; in early September I had imagined it to be heated,... more

We were expecting great things from this hotel and were very disappointed. The rooms were very small and unfortunately not sound proof.

Deciding to take up this offer we swung into the driveway and pulled up at the entrance. My husband found the lady on... more

I recently stayed at Opal Cove for training. We stayed a week in the Villas, and one night in the motel. The resort is beautifully landscaped. The foyer is huge, with an amazing view of the ocean. The reception is friendly and very helpful. They have a huge pool (adults not allowed on the slide, which looked like fun, and... more

We stayed here as part of a road trip just over a week ago. Having checked out the pics on the net, I was quite excited as it looked really nice! When we got here, I wasn't all that disappointed. thought the foyer, games room, reception etc, still looked ok. Had originally booked a 1br garden view apartment, but asked... more

We stayed here during the Easter weekend, and I have to admit I was concerned reading the other reviews on this website but we were recommended to stay here by our friends. I am glad I listened to my friends and not these reviewers, just thought I should let others know not to listen too much to some of these... more
