ReviewsWe perform checks on reviews.Tripadvisor’s approach to reviewsBefore posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a twin room with private facilites.
It was more like an apartment you expect to get when you go self catering. It had a living area with a tv, fridge, two sofas, kettle and a microwave.
Bedrooms were adequate and the bathroom was very nice and clean.
Didn't really see much of the staff but when we did they were helpful.
The air conditioning was a blessing too !
I stayed on second floor in room 208. The room is fairly spacious with dates furniture. It was winter time, but rooms were rather warm. A kitchenette was provided with a sink and microwave and fridge and basic utensils. A very small TV (32"?) was in the lounge.
Bathroom had a spacious shower, which had a few mould residue. Bath towels were provided but there are stains and holes in the towels provided.
There is a double bed and single bed available, however only the double bed had a sheet set available. There is a air conditioner in the bedroom which makes the room nice and cool, but it is quite noisy.
The apartment has small bugs. There are limited parking inside the resort (only 6) so you need to park early. There are parking available after 5pm outside the place, but if you are planning to go out to the reef, make sure you get a park in the resort as parking outside is pay parking and max 3 hours. Also, the gates to the parking at the resort closes at 7pm and only opens after 8am. There is complimentary wifi, but I could never connect to it. The reception lady was lovely and gave me another possible wifi code but still couldn't detect on both my phone and laptop, which makes it inconvenient for my work.
There are washing machines, dryers and pools available. Lots of kids went into the pool.
Checking out was fairly straight forward. As I was checking out outside of office hours (at 5am), there is a key drop that allows you slip the key into a box.
Overall, the accommodation is budget, a few bugs, night time can be dodgy.
The rooms were all missing curtons and half of the plugs in my room didn't work. Try to be 10 backpackers and 2 plugs..
And the wifi only worked in the reception! Not even in the kitchen
They should not be allowed to advertise as they are currently, More 1 Star Quality than 3.
Dirty bathroom, Dirty interior and exterior facilities, free wi-fi (If you like the walk to the local McDonalds for it), Kitchenette should be advertised as 'Microwave Supplied'....
You have been warned!
"Ask for a room on the first floor....above the traffic noise, but easy to transport suitcases."Read full review
"Avoid Room 8 if possible, located close to the exit gate which visitors access between 7PM and 8AM so quietness will be compromised."Read full review
