I had high hopes for my stay, but I left feeling quite disappointed. While the location had a lot to offer in terms of activities nearby, the state of the rooms was a major letdown with visible cleanliness issues. The service from the staff varied significantly, with some being helpful while others were quite unfriendly. Dining options were almost non-existent, which felt strange for a resort. Overall, I've had better experiences for the price I paid.

Rooms

The rooms were quite filthy and not at all what I expected after seeing the lovely exterior. I found mould and obvious wear and tear throughout, especially in the bathrooms.
Service
5.0
The service left a lot to be desired; some staff were helpful, but others seemed annoyed and unwelcoming, making me feel like more of a hassle than a guest.
Location

The location is nice, as there’s plenty to do in Port Stephens and it’s conveniently close to shops.
Dining

The dining experience was lacking due to no available options on-site, which was incredibly disappointing for a resort.
Facilities

The facilities seemed decent at a glance, but the lack of cleanliness in the rooms overshadowed any positive aspect.

I was really hopeful for a great stay based on my previous visit, but my recent experience left me quite let down. The room had an unpleasant smell and felt outdated, definitely not what I’d expect from a luxury apartment. Although the resort is designed for families and has a fun atmosphere, it was far too noisy for my tastes, and the service could have been much better. The dining options were sparse and unappealing. Overall, I don't think I would return based on this experience.

Rooms
5.0
The room was clean, but it had a strong smell of something stale and felt quite run-down. It didn’t align with the luxury standard I was expecting, and there was a strange dishwashing request despite there being no dishwasher.
Service
5.0
The service was unfortunately lacking, as it took us a while to get any assistance at reception, and there seemed to be an overall lack of staff presence in key areas.
Location
5.0
The location was not ideal; it’s situated in a suburban area with very limited restaurant options nearby, making it inconvenient for dining out.
Dining
5.0
Dining was fairly disappointing as the breakfast lacked variety and flavor. It felt like a chore to eat there rather than an enjoyable start to the day.
Facilities
5.0
While there are some facilities like a pool, the noise level and party atmosphere made it unusable for a relaxing experience.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its massive pool, which was definitely a highlight. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable, but I was disappointed to have a view of the car park despite paying extra for a pool view. The restaurant was closed due to COVID-19, but I found plenty of local dining options within walking distance. Overall, it was a nice getaway with some room for improvement.

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable, but we had a view of the car park instead of the pool, which felt unfair considering the extra cost.

The check-in process took a long time, over half an hour, which was frustrating. However, once we were in, the service we received was decent.

The location was convenient, just a short walk to some local dining options. The pool area is definitely one of the best features.

With the in-house restaurant closed, it was a bit limiting, but I found several good local places within a 5-minute walk.

The pool is certainly the star of the facilities—I'd say it's the biggest pool in Australia! Definitely a great place to relax.

I had high hopes for this hotel based on previous visits, but this stay was quite disappointing. The first room we were given had a terrible odor and was unclean, which made our experience uncomfortable. The pool area is lovely and well-maintained, making it a highlight of the property. However, the overall service fell short of expectations, and it seems the hotel is in need of major improvements to maintain its standards.

Rooms

The first room we received was unfortunately grimy and smelly, with visible dust and dirt everywhere. It was very outdated and uncomfortable.

While some staff, like the receptionist, were warm and friendly, the supervisor's response to our complaints was dismissive and unhelpful.

The hotel's location is convenient, with grocery stores and fast food nearby, but it feels a bit soulless amidst industrial surroundings.

The pool area is a beautiful feature, but the gym is in dire need of an upgrade and the overall maintenance of the facilities is lacking.

My experience at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The room was clean, but the service left a lot to be desired, and the hotel's location was not ideal for exploring the area. Additionally, I was unhappy with the noise levels during my stay, which affected our comfort. While the hotel has potential, it seems to fall short in critical areas, making the visit less enjoyable than expected.
