Won’t be back.
Pros:

Clean.

Cons:

It was a construction zone. Which we weren’t informed of. Couldn’t get hold of the agent for 5 hours when we first arrived & found out it was under construction with maintenance works. Staff were rude & unhelpful. No word back from McGrath owners to rectify the issue of excessive noise, privacy issues (scaffolding and workers looking straight through bedroom windows). The actual property is nice but the fact we weren’t informed or given an alternative solution to our stay until 5 hours after we moved in was disappointing. I was told that the property agents don’t have mobile phones to take direct calls for any issues. Quite unbelievable in this day & age. All staff at the booking agent were unhelpful & unprofessional. I have stayed at Pacific Blue 5 times now and in the future will be booking through the hotel direct not McGrath
