Staff were disappointing and lacked customer service. The room facilities were great.
Pros:

The room and its facilities within the room were great.

Cons:

Staff were poor with giving directions to our room, they advised of car parking, however upon finding where our room was found that there was no direct access to parking and then had to do an additional loop around and park at an alternative room block. We were never advised of renovations occurring to the property

Crappy pool facilities which were what drew us to stay here
Pros:

The rooms were okay and the location was good for air travel.

Cons:

The facilities were total chaos. What was advertised as a calm pool, was the total opposite. The pool was over populated and the staff and parents of children were not monitoring the behaviour of children. Kids were doing backflips and bomb dives splashing people on lounges. French fries and bandaids were floating in the pool and jacuzzi area. The chairs and food were not cleared away, so people couldn’t sit and enjoy the pool.

Disappointing - I usually love staying here
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable, and the established gardens are lovely. The Mercure rooms are older but suit the tropical lifestyle. Staff are really fantastic.

Cons:

Small shaded pool and bar area was closed without any warning or notice. Large construction fences around the area blocked my access to the lovely gardens. The large pool area is huge and kids love it but there is no shade in the water. The pool closes at 7pm, when the sun has not yet set, ridiculous in the tropics. It now costs $20 night to park my car outside my room - this was not advertised. The free carpark is a good 5 minute walk away, not suitable in the wet season

Pros:

Our room with our own pool the room looked amazing. Dinner at the restaurant made our night very special.

Cons:

The staff at the cafe by reception no customer service discharge look like miserable and didn’t want to be there. We ordered loaded fries and it was so disgusting. The chips were cold and they look like they’ve been cooked a long time ago. They will have black and that was soft. We couldn’t even eat. My husband took him straight back up to the guy and then back to him unable to okay thank you and that said. We booked a pool room with a king bed so why did the room next to us have little kids stay in it they ran around in the room banging so we could hear it through our room which won’t even and then they sat outside and jumped into the swimming pool and then later after 7:30 when the main pool was closed, their friends came before their kids and made so much noise, my husband and I couldn’t even sit outside swimming pool and then we went inside and shut the door to watch TV. I could hardly hear the TV to my husband had to tell them to quite a real disappointment when you book a private room and you have kids next door.
