Great property and lots for kids to do. We went to Sola restaurant for dinner and found it over priced for the quality and quantity of the food. I ordered the Moreton Bay Bugs Salad and was lucky if I had two it was all lettuce. Husband had the steak which was very chewy.

The property in general is very nice. Lobby looks sleek and aesthetically pleasing. There are activities available to do for the whole family. The room however that we stayed in is quite dated, and can use some much-needed renovation. Other rooms or units are quite nice and looks new.

I found it quite difficult to get in touch with reception before and during my stay. The staff seemed a little unsure of processes, as though they were all new or still in training. I was staying for a work function and had a short 40-minute break between sessions after traveling since 4 am, so I’d hoped to rest briefly. Unfortunately, a staff member knocked on my door to ask if my air-conditioning was working, which interrupted my quick nap.

The floor in the room was dirty the moment we walked in. Rest of the room was fine, no complaints really. Most of the staff seemed to have an issue with being at work - except Austin in the restaurant. Nice guy!

My wife and I stayed for one night in a 1 queen bed garden view room @$355.00 per night. While we enjoyed the serenity of the resort, we discovered the bed sloped inwards towards the centre, this due to using two single mattresses and not a proper queen-size mattress. We could feel the join between the two mattresses. This made for an uncomfortable sleep and degraded the overall experience. It was not what we had expected from a Novotel Resort. Also, the teaspoon in the room had not been washed.

Too big for the insufficient staff to be able to provide any real care factor. The pool facilities are around 30% of the scale needed for the number of rooms. Young staff trying hard, but clearly untrained and overworked. The management business seems to know they will continue to (over)fill the rooms and don’t have to try or care about the experience once you’re there. Simple things like rooms have very limited facilities (e.g. no cups/glasses in the bathrooms / nowhere to hang dry towels in the bathrooms) yet Room Service meals are delivered on disposable paper plates with no cutlery??? Clearly the objective is to squeeze as much money as possible out of the punters with as little effort/or care as possible. I have visited this property a number of years ago and had a very enjoyable stay - it is such a shame to see how it is being managed and milked today. We won’t be back anytime soon.
