A comfortable, family-friendly stay with excellent amenities—we’d definitely return.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The room was the perfect size for our family of two adults and three children and never felt cramped. The kitchenette with the hot plate made it easy to prepare simple meals, which was very convenient when travelling with kids. Having both a washing machine and dryer in the room was an absolute bonus and made our trip so much easier. The Google Chromecast was a huge hit with the children, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The room was clean, modern and well equipped. We would happily stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike. Our stay was comfortable and met all of our family’s needs.

Beachy coastal fun with tweens and dogs.
Pros:

Location, availability of beach and additional room towels.

The kitchen was adequately stocked. Loved having a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom!

Dog friendly 💓

Cons:

I asked for the room to be serviced daily as we were at the beach every day. Unfortunately the room wasn’t serviced while we were there, at all. This left us with sandy carpet.

The door of the fridge was broken so we couldn’t store anything in the door of the fridge.

Pros:

Love that dogs were allowed and so close to a great park and the beach. Rooms very big and roomy.

Cons:

The bed was comfortable but the pillows were too high/firm. The light came in under the door well after 10pm, it was very bright outside the room, both from window and hallway. No breakfast options.

Amazing location with exceptional views
Pros:

Views are exceptionally good.
Location is awesome
Hotel room is spacious and clean
Sandy Foot Pizza Cafe is a must try.

Cons:

Shower area is a disappointment as there’s no curtain or door so bathroom ends up being wet.
Would’ve been nice if the cafe next door is open on the weekends too.

A great stay in an amazing location.
Pros:

Very clean and great location.. A fantastic hotel stay with a great location. Possibly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in... Large rooms with everything you need.. Do yourself a favour and head downstairs o Raymonds at Malua Bay for amazing Chinese food and great coffee at Coffeissimo.. Everything you need in one location. Being pet friendly meant we were able to travel is a complete family which is sensational !!!

Cons:

The shower didn't have a door and made a mess with the off splash.. But we managed.
