We arrived 10 minutes early and were told to come back at check in time. We came back at the check in time and was given the keys but were told that the supervisor had not inspected the property and were asked to wait a further 15 minutes, which we didn’t. The supervisor allowed herself into the apartment 30 minutes after check in to inspect the property. The property was very dated and needs some maintenance. Arrival info stated apartment had to be left tidy however couldn’t vacuum rooms as no vacuum, found the vacuum box empty.

Needing a little attention to detail the ground floor apartment. Strange hidden ( main) bathroom .. so hidden it wasn't found by cleaners ...we found un cleaned .. towels strewn on floor etc. Get rid of that lounge room door that hides it. Basic lounge furniture .. often the case. The apartment opposite second floor ? we went through a " host" - we stayed last time - $50 more per night but it was really lovely. Anyway for $250 it was functional and looked out onto the lovely pool and spacious .. what we needed with visiting family that live in Trinity Beach. Also close to township and airport.

A huge disappointment to return to this resort and find it so changed. More like social housing than a 5 star resort. Noisy, dogs everywhere, limited reception hours and help available, bar and restaurant in resort not open, the best thing about it is the Thai restaurant by reception.
