Stunning location. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Our waitress was lovely. The bed was amazingly comfortable.

It’s obvious it used to be a motel. I think a little a more refinement is required to lose that ‘once a motel’ vibe.

The outdoor spa tub was private and had a beautiful view where you could hear the ocean metres away and enjoy the views of the immaculate garden. We ordered cocktails from our room, delivered by friendly staff. The location is excellent, I walked down a sleep (albeit slippery) slope to the ocean, sitting on the rocks, enjoying the peace and beauty. Rick Steins restaurant was supburb, relaxed vibe, excellent waitor, who was so accomadating, the starters and entrees were a highlight ( the oysters, scallops, octopus and ceviche are must tries).

The room could have more extras in the price. The cheap slippers were just sad, and there was a lack of little extra touches that made the price feel a little steep

Location, room, views

The bar menu is too limited and the restaurant was unable to accomodate us without a fuss, which we found to be unacceptable given that the restaurant was only 50% occupied throughout the evening. They have to expect hotel guests to want to have a substantial dinner, and either they offer more than just pizzas at the bar or ensure they have the staff in the restaurant particularly at an Easter weekend when they are running at full capacity.

Beautiful outlook over the ocean, could hear the waves, see the whales. The balcony was perfect. the room was quiet, the bed comfortable. Water bottles, magazines, blanket and couch, along with the desk for WFH was perfect.

I needed a couple of other options for pillows, I am very sensitive to pillow height and needed a softer option

Free Transport between restaurants and hotels Pool set up so amazing, the food, the towels, the bathroom facilities, the view even has sunscreen if you forget yours. The morning breakfasts were fantastic! Get that package. Spa and massage was awesome, pricey but worth it. The pavilion was very nice and highly recommended Jones beach was spectacular Not suitable for kids at all which is perfect for a quiet break

No small place for the gym No spa or sauna Pricey but worth it if you can afford it

Whole experience exceeded my expectations. Incredible view from the room, whether on the balcony, inside on the sofa or sitting up in bed. Attention to detail in room as well as around the outside surroundings. For example, the room had a pair of binoculars to watch for dolphins and whales. Really enjoyed dinner at downstairs restaurant and the complimentary drink at the pool bar beforehand. Will definitely be back!

Breakfast, room service, the size of the suite, and service at the restaurant.

Unfortunately, when it says - NO View - they mean no view. If you opened your louvers - view of the car park.

Location was stunning and easy walk to the beach. Loved the heated floor tiles, rain water shower head, balcony view out to the ocean and lovely decor. Our room was very close to Rick stein restaurant

Air conditioning was quite warm and couldn’t turn it down but could at least open door to cool it down. I thought for the price of a basic room breakfast could have been included or at least a basic bathtub to relax in

The room was lovely, light filled and spacious, even the bathroom was a good size. The bed was big and comfy. The staff at Rick Steins were really friendly and welcoming. The outdoor spa was a nice touch and even in May it wasn't too cold to use.

The room, including the bathroom, had dim lighting which was fine except when you were trying to put on make-up.

Beautiful setup here would have loved to have stayed a little longer.

Disappointed with the curry at Rick's excessive use of onions not finely diced, the one I had at Port Stephens was perfection. Tomatoes in the morning were undercooked very hard.
