Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Lots of messages around . Eg, wash your . you will be charged...thought a good dishwasher between guests would have been more hygenic.
Quite tired but still clean and comfortable.

Location was good within town but needs to be updated.
Pros:

Location was good for local cafes

Cons:

Thought we were booking in the towers, not the motel attached to the property. The furniture was old and worn out, the sofa bed was uncomfortable and the only seat to watch TV. Sinks drained very slow and toilet continued to run if not tended to.

Great little beach side stay.
Pros:

The room had a kitchenette which we weren't expecting. The pool and gym were great. Staff were polite.

Cons:

Unfortunately, due to the hot pools being closed after the land slide, many tourist operations were closed, like the Stand Up Paddle Boards etc. Would have loved to go for a paddle, but couldn't.

A very nice 7-day stay in the water and sun.
Pros:

The upgraded swimming pool area is very nice now and we used it a lot. A disadvantage is many more people are using this area now compared to our past stays!
The Manager and cleaning Staff were very nice and helpful.

Cons:

There are a few slippery tile (old) areas and steps near the rear entrance door as you walk to the pool area that need replacing.
