Beautiful beach stay

Really lovely to walk into the room and see the beach. Very clean and comfy. The cockatoos made themselves at home on our balcony and even tried to sneak into our room for our free hotel biscuits. It would be nicer if the bed faced the other way then we could lay in bed looking at ocean

Fabulous hotel in great location, staff are efficient and friendly and the pool and bars and restaurants first class The only thing I didn't like was paying for parking and internet. Parking I can understand as there is plenty of space to park in side streets, but the internet should be free

This was a pretty nice hotel with great views of the ocean, but everything costs extra despite it not being a 5 star hotel. Parking is $35 a night which is WAY overpriced. Wifi is $25 a day which is RIDICULOUS and should be included. Other than that, the hotel is clean, quiet and safe.
