8.6/10

I had a great stay at Island Beach Resort, which is in a perfect location near the beach and plenty of restaurants. The apartment was clean and well-maintained, with all the essentials I needed. However, I found the mornings a bit noisy due to the pool area. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, especially given the great value for money.

5.0/10

My stay was quite disappointing due to a really bad odour in the room, which made it feel unhygienic, and the service from the manager was aggressive and unhelpful. On the positive side, the property had a decent location and offered various amenities that could potentially be appealing. However, the overall experience has left me feeling unsafe and unhappy, which overshadows the positives.

The room was not clean and had an overpowering odour that made it unbearable to stay in. There was a lot of dust and the shower was in an unhygienic state.

We had a pleasant stay at this resort, which offered a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. Although our unit was well-equipped, the limited Wi-Fi was frustrating for those needing strong connectivity. The outdoor spa and pool added to our enjoyment, but we did encounter some cleanliness issues that need addressing.

Rooms

7.0

Our one-bedroom unit was clean and comfortable, but it could use a deep clean as the carpets were dusty and the areas around the skirting boards had hair. Despite that, the kitchen was well-equipped, fitting our needs perfectly.

Service

8.0

The service was responsive to our needs, and the provided starter kit was appreciated. However, I wish the cleaning service frequency was more generous, especially for a longer stay.

Location

The resort's location is fantastic, just a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and close to restaurants and shops. We loved the convenience of being able to bike around the area as well.

The facilities included a lovely outdoor spa and a clean swimming pool. However, I felt that basic amenities like dishwashing supplies were limited for longer stays.

I had a great time at this resort! It was clean, comfortable, and had all the essentials I needed for a relaxing stay. The outdoor spa pool was a nice touch, and I enjoyed my time exploring the nearby beach and restaurants. However, there were some downsides like noise from construction nearby and limited supplies in the room. Overall, a solid choice for value and convenience!

6.8/10

I stayed for a couple of weeks during the Commonwealth Games, and while the location was perfect and the units were well-equipped, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and lack of basic amenities without extra charges. The stay could have been more enjoyable if the service had been better and the cleanliness up to standard.

Rooms

6.0

The apartment was neat and tidy but would benefit from a thorough cleaning and a bit of an update. The absence of air conditioning made it uncomfortable at times, especially with the road noise when the window was open.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the extra charges for small items like toilet paper felt a bit excessive and unwelcoming.

Location

The hotel is perfectly situated between the beach and a major shopping area, which made it very convenient for exploring the local attractions.

Dining

Facilities

The facilities included a pool and parking, both of which were useful, but I didn't find them to be exceptional. Wi-Fi was very limited, which was a letdown for work purposes.
