It was very clean and easy to walk through, The staff were really helpful as there was a mix up with the rooms and staff were more than happy to move us to solve the problem. The beds were that comfortable it's not funny

Haiden Australia

Errol Australia

bed was super comfy. lovely scenery. right next to the beach

Sue Australia

The facilities exceeded my expectations, I thought the property was well kept and roomy. Our room was very spacious with an ocean view. The food in the Palisades restaurant was amazing. I would go there again just for the food. It is very close to the beach with great views and plenty of cafe options.

Donald United States of America

Location, staff and room with balcony. So enjoyable. ✨☀️

Kim Australia

We had a "2 bedroom" suite. The space was large and cleanliness was good. Modern, good large bathroom. Breakfast was included at only $10 per person extra. It was pretty god but not fantastic or outstanding. If you like exercise then you can get a bit extra by choosing a room along the beachfront - a good walk away from the lifts. Parking was available in the basement - $25 per night.

Notso Australia

The location of the room overlooking the ocean was brilliant
