Excellent place to stay in Shoal Bay
The hotel details on hotels.com do not do the venue justice, it was far better than I anticipated
Room was spacious, impeccably clean and beautiful. Ambience of the bedroom was really cool and super comfy bed. Very quiet throughout the day, beautiful ocean right in front, I loved everything about the hotel.
It is an amazing place to stay, exceptional, clean comfortable and spacious and the staff are amazing

The staff were lovely and helpful, the location was great walking distance from everything, it was just the room was very dusty bathroom floor needed a good scrub, and carpets needed to be washed.
I know they get a lot of traffic guests coming and going but need to clean better.
I was a cleaner for resorts.
Very old and rundown. No fly screens on any windows or doors so very hard to get fresh air into the rooms.

Amazing location . Overpriced for a property that isn’t kept very well. Needs renovations, better cleaning standards and service level. Didn’t get the room made over unless asked. Can only use additional amenities if an owner.
Everything about our stay was good, except for the cleanliness of the room. We stayed in the Barrington building, top floor, ocean view. It is in real need of a deep clean. Upon walking in the first thing we saw were drip marks down the wall. The couches were covered in stains and grime. The doors and light switches were grubby. There was something questionable on the underside of the toilet paper cover. The balcony railing was covered in spiderwebs.
Lovely property close across the road from the beach. Indoor and outdoor pool facilities.
Dining options around complex were great

Georgetown travelling pensioners.
We were there to celebrate a birthday and relax after a stressful few months, the weather was good, so it was relaxing around the pool.
Location is good, plenty of good restaurants wishing walking distance, so no need to worry about driving to go out for a meal and a few drinks.
As it I an older property the rooms are spacious.
Stayed in a one bedroom deluxe beachfront apartment. Lovely clean beach directly opposite, good pool area. Beach bar, Bistro & Greek restaurant below all wonderful. Although kitchen & bathroom is a little tired, the rooms are spacious, clean & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
