Fabulous all round! We stayed here in an apartment with a private plunge pool which was just fabulous. Our apartment was spacious and beautifully designed. The location is brilliant with a quick stoll to a gorgeous beach. Beautiful gardens and the main resort pool was lovely too. We also got a pizza from the restaurant which was a lovely restaurant....

My husband and I stayed in a motel room for one night. Whilst the location was great we were very disappointed with our room. It was very dull and shabby. Whilst the room was very spacious there was very little natural light. It was clean but just not very welcoming. There was a little balcony fronted by a six foot... More

Absolutely perfect location right on beach with well maintained tropical gardens. Gorgeous beach houses with own plunge pools . Very much like luxury villas in Bali but with better plumbing. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and plenty of privacy from other guests. Great location within walking distance of shops and right on beach. Highly recommend friendly and helpful staff. More

I was in Australia visiting family, and in Agnes Water to go to the GBR. Offered an upgrade when booking, we were excited to see our room. Upon check-in, we were offered another upgrade, but seeing the room, with its' broken ceiling fans and dirty furniture, and no AC, we went back to our original room, only to find animal... More

My partner and I stayed in one of the garden villas at Sandcastles. The villa (number 17) which faces the back of the property is quiet and away from the garbage bins that can really smell in the summer heat. It was old and tired and in need of a thorough refurbishment. Each unit is privately owned and so is... More

I was very happy with the service from check in to when I needed assistance with the television in my room.... the manager came within 5 minutes to assist. Unfortunately I do not believe that the motel rooms are good value. The lack of fans in the common areas.... stairwells etc make it stifling hot and uncomfortable to even carry... More

The staff were friendly and helpful. Antony, the manager, was really good in suggesting local attractions and activities. There is a beautifully equipped kitchen,... More
