Location. Beautiful views. Lovely pools
Too far from shops. Cleaning poor. Microwave didn’t work. Staff are lovely but the place is seriously in need of a very good scrub. Dusty, grubby, flys in light fittings, cheap plastic toilet seats. Piece of foam as mattress topper . All pretty ewwww.

The pool and restaurant were great.
The room itself needs lots of maintenance. The draw in the kitchenette fell off, the bedhead was broken, when i pulled the curtain the curtain fixture nearly came off the wall. The sliding door was very hard to open. When we moved the bed it was dirty underneath the bed. There was no information on office hours or anything on the actual property. No information on where to put your key if you booked out early.
When we ordered from restaurant our food took an hour to come as we had children we order ice-cream it took 45 minutes for the ice-cream to come.

easy book and check in, bar staff pleasant and the room was clean
the wifi was terrible unless you were in the bar area. Therefore I had to have some drinks :)
7.0
The view from the room to the beach was stunning. The room was spacious and comfortable.
There was no water supply to the room during the afternoon, it would have been helpful if this had been advised upon check in. No cafe, restaurant or bar so not sure this is a "resort". Guests in room above were very loud.

Room size was great
It didnt feel very safe, there was a few strange dudes floating around. We didnt have any dramas with any of these strange dudes, but i did make sure the car and room was locked at all times

Beautiful location. Room comfortable and clean. Staff all friendly and helpful.
Bathroom needs upgrade. Benches or some sort of seating along grass. near waters edge would be a great idea, some people taking heavy chairs from their outside setting to this area.

Nice location. Mackay is pretty place.
They are old resort. Management can't be found when you need them.
Restaurant food prices over price, meals are simply. Don't eat the chicken snitz. Staff didn't care.
