Myself and my 2 best friends stayed 1 night in a 2 bedroom apartment costing $270 Yes, it’s on the Esplanade, and the restaurant is very good (though pricey too), but the reception service is lacking (no smile or pleasantries), and several issues with the apartment: VERY sparse & noisy - as there are minimal (& super gaudy) furnishings, we felt like we couldn’t chat & have the telly on at the same time, due to noise. The other surrounding apartments are looking directly onto each other’s balconies (privacy is non existent), & to open a window/balcony for some fresh air meant even less privacy. The toilet light is on some kind of sensor & turns itself off after about 30 seconds, & ironically is the only dark room in the house (bedroom blinds are NOT blackout). The master bedroom mattress is not fixed properly to the headboard, so squeaks every time you move, & blinds bang on the wall all night (with window shut) so you’re also BOILING hot as there is no fans either. A very long, uncomfortable night. The 3 stars are for comfortable bed, cleanliness, & the restaurant & bar. Do not assume that the gorgeous decor in front of house is carried through the apartments, because it’s not: outdated ugliness is what you get. Feeling ripped off. I’d say the apartments are AT LEAST $100 overpriced. Apartment no.8.

Spent 3 nights here, very nice, clean 2 bedroom apartment and complex. We had asked for a apartment with a view of the river, but was able to get that so the operator gave us a free late check out to compensate. Very nice touch. Easy walk into the shopping area, and right opposite the fishing harbor where you can buy fish from the boats if you want. Only downside was that there wasn't air-conditioning in the bedroom which meant we had to have the windows open, normally not an issue for us anyway. But the blinds were light weight and just kept blowing into the room allowing the outside lights to keep filtering in. Not good if you are a light sleeper. Overall, would stay again, very nice location and friendly staff.

All of our holidays for 2020 have been cancelled so when we were able to travel again we came to Lakes for 5 nights. I booked a 2 bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed including very comfortable beds. The bonus was a lovely view of the lake with an area to sit and ponder. Unfortunately the guests above us were heavy footed and this was a tad disturbing as we thought they might drop in to meet us. I would also suggest that 1 roll of toilet paper is not enough for a party of 3 for 5 nights. We had to pop into reception a couple of times to get extra rolls and the staff are friendly but I think a couple could be placed in the room.

We stayed in a three bedroom apartment. The view was am-az-ing! Can’t beat it, living area, kitchen, kids bedroom and second bedroom all on second level (over downstairs restaurant) overlooking the esplanade, master was on third floor also overlooking esplanade. Location was great and easy walking distance to restaurants, park, supermarkets, coffee, river on either side of hotel.
Living space and kitchen area was huge, kids room had two double bunks and heaps of room and floor space to play. All had wardrobes. Laundry with all facilities. Kitchen stocked with everything you need in a long stay eg utensils, cutlery, crockery, fridge/freezer all cooking requirements are met.
Beds are comfy. En-suite for master and other room, kids room shared main bathroom. Kids also like having a tv in their room.
BYO coffee as only instant available, coffee can be bought from downstairs cafe.
Would absolutely stay here again.

On arrival at 4.30pm we were informed the 2 bedroom deluxe room with a balcony we had booked and previously been told was allocated to us was not available as reception had to “juggle” the rooms. This was despite the fact that we had completed the pre-arrival check in. Only a so called “courtyard” room was available. The receptionist was somewhat blunt and adopted a “suck it up” attitude. Why is there a need for reception to “juggle” rooms? If you book and confirm, why don’t you get what you booked? If rooms are allocated on a first come /first served basis, why not just say so when the booking is made? The courtyard room allocated to us (number 4) was substandard – curtains and blinds did not fit/close properly, letting in a level of light from the external security lights on this and the neighbouring property which made sleeping nigh on impossible. Also the hand basin in the bathroom was cracked and the room in general was “tired” and substandard. De luxe it wasn’t. The “courtyard” was a nook with two walls, overlooking the driveway and on the path to other units, offering no privacy whatsoever- despite the receptionist saying it had water views. After a sleepless night and despite the original receptionist grudgingly allocating us another “courtyard” unit for the rest of our stay which was in better condition, we found the whole experience less than satisfactory. Reception were still juggling rooms when we checked out. As such we would not stay here again and in the future will avoid any Saltwater Resorts or associated properties.

Absolute nightmare..aircon doesn’t work..bathroom drains are blocked of a so called Executive Spa Suit…no one seems to care..front office sucks..no one even dare to share the email IDs of the property manager..surprised to know they don’t inspect the electricals of the room before letting it out to their guests…it’s been more than a day the front desk was notified about the aircon issue..they r still trying to get someone from maintenance..no one else can do nothing other then a maintenance person hilarious and their is none in house..inspite of they knowing about the occupants older age and sensitive health conditions they didn’t bother to consider this as an emergency request..instead they had been suggesting us to adjust and move the occupants to other rooms…wwooowww….
Attention management of The Lakes Bellevue..time to wake up folks..

This location although great as its central to the shops, local cafes and eateries is the only positive thing this place has going for it. The 2 bedroom apartment we had was filthy, with thick dust hanging off the bathroom fan an light to the bedroom and toilet walls literally having water dripping off them with black mould. The dishes and floors were dirty... the pool and spa area has no light so it's dangerous once dark. The temperature of the pool and the spa was far from hot.. the shower in the room was made for size 6 people only... no room. Reception staff were uninterested, rude and clearly they are only there for there paycheck.. a terrible experience, thanks for dampening our family getaway and for not caring about my 2 children's health sleeping in your freezing cold, drenched and mouldy room. The bedding was wet, the cupboards were saturated. You should be ashamed and I will be contacting authorities about the health and safety being compromised with this place. If your staff cared and weren't so arrogant I might not be so annoyed. You should be shut down. Nothing was safe or enjoyable. I will be spreading the news of your service. I have video and photo evidence to prove my review.

Before writing this evaluation, I wrote both to the hotel (satisfaction survey) and the hotel's parent company, but after 3 days with no answer, I decided to post my opinion. Hope this will make the people in charge to produce an explanation to show their concern and action to avoid the same bad experience to other guests.
The hotel is well located and the rooms are comfortable. But on the second day we found that although housekeeping have come to the room, they just emptied the trash e pulled up the sheets on the bed (see photo attached). Anything else. I complained immediately, reception gave me some fresh towels and told me would write a message to housekeeping about what happened.
Next morning I ask reception about this message (nothing was sent), explained what happened and was informed that the rooms (our group booked two) would be made up properly.
As we returned to the hotel, we found the same mess. We left (on purpose) a towel on the floor (see attached photo), and it remained there. Went to reception again, angry. Talking to the hotel's representative I found out that no one was really feeling compelled to solve the problem. Everybody I talked to simply said "our apologies" but forgot about the incident immediately. No concern about the guest's experience.
It's an expensive hotel, the booking was pre-paid, it was a big disappointment to be treated like this. Lakes Entrance is fabulous, the hotel has enormous potential, but do need to review the poor service (and poor management) that my group experienced.
Hope this message will contribute to process and management review.

We had a great stay here for two nights. Our rooms were ground floor and I initially thought we would have trouble with street noise at night but it was absolutely fine. Comfortable and spacious amenities, staff all friendly and welcoming, would recommend to anyone visiting the Lakes.

We stayed 3 nighs in a 2 bedroom apartment and as has been noted in the past by others it on the Esplanade close to all the amenities you might need. However, both on checking in and on checking out the reception service fell very short. (No smile or pleasantries). It only takes a smile to make you feel welcome. As for the appartment we were put in apartment 3, it looked over the rear of the complex with lovely views of the river and moored boats. Some noise from the traffic but nothing too bad. The appt had everything you would need and was very nice. However the apartment opposite looked directly into the main bedroom so privacy is non existent). The second bedroom had a westerly placed window making it boiling late afternoon. Not an issue for us but you should be aware. Finally if you have trouble climbing stairs you should be aware that there is no lift so if you book, book a ground floor. I don't think I would stay in the appartments again, they were nice but badly planned. One other thing, the staff at reception did not wear face coverings!
