We had a lovely stay at this resort. The facilities were beautiful, and my family enjoyed the spacious room with a fully equipped kitchen. The pool was a highlight for the kids. However, we encountered some cleanliness issues that detracted from our overall experience, particularly with bugs in the bathroom and the floor not being properly cleaned.

I had a pleasant stay at the townhouse, which was conveniently located near Woolworths for groceries and just a short drive to the center of Hervey Bay. The small courtyards were perfect for my kids, and they loved the pool. The staff made the check-in and check-out process smooth, and I appreciated the complimentary DVD rentals and beach towels. However, I found the main bed a bit too soft for my liking, and not all rooms had air conditioning, which was a downside.

I had a great stay at the resort, enjoying a spacious townhouse that comfortably housed four adults. The pool and spa were lovely and always inviting. The only downside was a lack of power points in one bedroom. All in all, it’s a comfortable place, close to shops and the marina, and I would definitely return.

We had a family trip here and overall enjoyed our stay. The kids really loved the pool, spa, and games room, which kept them entertained. While the rooms were generally comfortable, we did encounter a few cleanliness issues that weren't ideal. Additionally, the service experience could use some improvement due to the rules posted everywhere, which made it feel a bit overwhelming.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. On one hand, the pool area was impressive and the staff was welcoming. On the other hand, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, especially with bugs in the bathroom and general dirtiness. Despite these concerns, the location was convenient and amenities were decent, making it a fair value overall.
