Overall when not in the room a great stay. Would have loved to enjoyed more time in the room but struggled to stay in th
Pros:

The location was amazing. Such a beautiful spot

Cons:

Our room had a very wet smell to it. It was very overwhelming and my partner and I both struggled to breathe at points. Our aircon also was very temperamental. We also had trouble locking our door. For the price I paid I honestly would have expected a room that didn’t smell so bad. We did not want to be a hassle as it was only one night so didn’t want to annoy staff with our concerns of the state of our room

Disappointed
Pros:

Sounds of birds and frogs and breaking surf.

Cons:

Walk to bungalow in the dark with no outside floor lights working, sensor lights only came on (if at all) when we are on top of them, white floor board markings indicating steps were indistinguishable due to lifting paint or non existent, tv in room didn't work so we we were moved to a spa bungalow which didn't have a spa, no soap in shower, rust on all external metal very unattractive and in some places sharp and dangerous, no Breakfast available despite this being part of a hotel with full restaurant facilities. For the price very disappointed .
Staff very helpful and courteous but they can only work with what they have.⁰

A nice place to stay with a beer garden pub attached for dining. Would return but stay in a villa.
Pros:

Bungalow with beach views.

Cons:

Poor lighting on pathways on dark rainy night. We found outdoor furniture on deck of bungalow was too low to the ground and only made of timber without any cushions to make it comfortable.
