Opal Cove is a nice resort but a bit tired. Lots of things were not functioning when we were there (the spa, the sauna, treadmills in the gym). We had 'happy hour' cocktails that were not terribly good and complaining wasn't an option (fell on dead ears). I used the EV charging station but again, service was terrible and the woman on reception didn't listen to me. Overall the stay was okay but customer service is poor - staff don't listen and just go into repeating the same sentence word for word until the customer goes away. Check out is 10am and we got a knock on the door at 10am prompt telling us the room was to be cleaned - despite asking the front desk for 10 mins more. We didn't feel welcome.

Aesthetically, the hotel is impressive and well-appointed, offering all the essential facilities for a comfortable stay. It is an excellent choice for families, particularly those with children, as it provides a range of family-friendly amenities and the option for interconnecting rooms. However, there are a few observations worth noting. The bathrooms, while functional, are somewhat dated—though this is a minor inconvenience. More significantly, the guest rooms feature carpeted floors with no underlay or cushioning, resulting in a hard, concrete-like feel underfoot. This lack of sound insulation contributes to a noticeable level of noise, making it easy to hear guests in adjoining rooms or passing through the hallways. While the hotel is ideal for family stays, couples seeking a quiet and more private experience may find the noise levels less suitable.

We had a good stay; the property was clean and not far out of town but it needs a major renovation. The pool wasn’t heated, and a part from the spa broke which meant that that was cold too. The food in the restaurant was average, and some of the staff in there weren’t overly welcoming or helpful.
