The Carlton hotel is in a great location within walking distance of the beach and nearby shops and places to eat. Staff very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the Toorak last year and had a lovely time. The only recommendation I would make is the property would benefit greatly from a bit of an update which is much needed.

The bed was comfy but it wasn't big enough for my partner and myself. If your a vegetarian/ vegan like myself the food options you can purchase within the complex is very limited so you have to walk into the town centre to get what you're looking for. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the entertainment is good in the evenings. We've stayed here 4or 5 times.

The resort is fantastic. Great facilities. The room was excellent with a fantastic sea view. Staff were generally helpful and food good. Not great service in the Carlton hotel restaurant. Kept being pestered to pay immediately and werent given the option to have two or three courses. Had to decide up front and pay accordingly and werent allowed to have option for third course. Food was good though and generous portions..
