This is a good one if you want the resort vibes on a lower budget - I absolutely loved the pools. Room and common areas are clean and well-maintained, staff were very friendly, and easy parking. One caveat is that the railway track backs on to the property, so a train horn may wake you up if you're planning on a midday nap, but if you're only sleeping at night it will be fine. Recommend, would book again.

The facilities were very good, just what we required and close to shopping. Slight distance to esplanade but not an issue to walk.
Lives the swimming pool, we had a problem with our hot water cylinder and staff responded immediately and sorted same day.
Wonderful stay.
