“a pedestrian highway motel that should never be called a resort.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It's a highway motel...not a resort. It was outrageously expensive for what you get...a very average motel room. I have to say that the pool was nice and the staff (I met the woman at reception) was very friendly and helpful but the rest was average and for $190 I would have expected a lot more. Surprisingly, despite being so close to the highway we were able to sleep well. The bed was comfortable. Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of choice at the time and it was peak season but for that money I reckon there's got to be other betetr options nearby (if you have to visit the central Coast!!)

“More Motel than Resort!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Extremely disappointing stay at this 'resort'. More Motel than hotel, the accomodation is situated on a main road with a 2km walk uphill to the beach via a housing estate & busy road (ie not practical on foot) The gardens & pool were below average for a 4star and the exterior was circa 1950's. If we hadn't already paid in advance with a no cancellation policy I would have left the moment I arrived. As it was we spent as much time as possible out of the hotel and only came back to sleep on the hard beds!

  • Liked — Reception service was friendly

“Great except for the hardness of the bed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2008

The room was much larger than expected. The decor is basic and more motel style than resort style all up the room was quite nice and very clean.

The landscaping was really well done for a 4 start hotel. The pool is very small however.

Its all very nice but I will never stay there again because the Bed and Pillows are extremely hard. They remind me of a couple of less than idea stays in budget motels. Neither me or my wife sleep properly so we limited our stay to just one night.
