Great spot on the water. Visited to do some scuba diving on the GBR. All the boats are a short walk from the pier. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. Very quiet and staff were pleasant. My only negative is no ice machine

The hotel is very outdated, no open pool bar which my wife and I were very much looking forward to considering we were celebrating 20 years anniversary and no kids , I was also looking forward to the outdoor dining that was in the photos but was also no longer there . I don’t have mould on my own walls so I don’t expect that paying for a premium motel, in general they either need to update the hotel or update the photos online so people can make an informative decision on where to book , our view was the best part of our stay
