The breakfast was DELICIOUS, and dinner at the hotel restaurant was excellent too. Servers were amazing. The food was Excellent!!! The fitness room has everything I needed. Peter helped me with my luggage. He found me in the restaurant to let me know that my flight landed. Allan from the Concierge desk was very helpful.

Lovely Luxury Getaway

The service was Perfect. Staff members were attentive. They addressed every need with precision. I loved the complimentary snacks and refreshments available in the communal area. The staff offered cocktails and wine. The pool area has a big spa, a communal sauna, steam room, and experience shower. I felt completely relaxed and pampered . The creative Australian theme and mood lighting helped to produce a calming atmosphere.
