Location. Views of the garden and the sea from the room and the restaurant. The pool is very special.
No screens on the windows or doors, inconsistent air conditioner. Staff answered with a no to every request, but then fulfilled the request anyway.

Dinner was amazing
Door battery drained. Locked out of room till maintenance staff arrived but very quick.

Most staff tried hard to make our stay comfortable
It’s very tired & sadly still suffering the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi, with a lot of rust evident.
The dining experience was a disaster, waiting far too long for service & 11/2 hours for our dinner.

Our room was on the 3rd floor and both the room and balcony looked straight out onto the beach. It was a wonderful location. It was so easy to go downstairs and walk across the lawn onto the beach. The beach was a long clean beach. Great for walking.

Great location, beautiful grounds, comfortable beds, excellent restaurant.
House keeping staff were brilliant.
Enjoyed a massage in the day spa.. Appreciated there being a lift, (due to back problems..)
I would've used the pool if it had not been so cold. Consider heating it thru the winter maybe. The down lights over some of the tables in the restaurant, we had to move tables because of it.....shining directly in our eyes, to the point of eyewatering. Please consider looking into this...pun intended!
Overall a great stay apart from these 2 issues..

amazing location by the beach front, I believe all the rooms are overlooking the ocean, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and large rooms. we enjoyed the pool in the early morning I wish we could have stay a couple more days
could have use a table on the balcony as well as drying rod/rack

Excellent location on the beach. Great food and friendly service. Day bed on the balcony a pleasant place to relax. Good pool for laps as well as relaxation.
Overall its great to see this quality in MIssion Beach
Our travel companions who had paid the same rate had a room over the restaurant with a restricted view although the room designation was the same.

9.0
Wonderful position - just a stroll through the gardens on to the beach. We arrived a little too late for a swim but the two pools looked inviting. Lovely room with a walk in shower. Air con was good and the sunrise wonderful from the beach and through the trees from our balcony.
Not a lot of room for parking, but it was busy and we did email ahead to say we're arriving late.
