great stay with top amenities

shaded areasadjacent eating areapool bar
I found the pool area particularly excellent. It featured its own bar. i also noticed an adjacent eating area. there were two undercover shaded areas at each end of the pool in addition to the sunny areas. there were lawns where i could spread out my towels. i used bean bags provided by the hotel and spent my last day relaxing around the pool.
i observed the receptionist was a little slow.

my room was generously sized and featured lovely decor. i also appreciated the great view it offered. the shower area could benefit from an increased threshold to prevent water from spreading into the bathroom area.

I found the staff super accommodating, allowing an early check-in. It was a pleasant surprise. the rooms were wonderful and the entire atmosphere felt cute. the pool bar, a highlight, had excellent service. I loved that. i also found that the location to restaurants and attractions was close. Daintree rainforest tours are nearby.
While the room was well-appointed. the threshold between the shower and the bathroom area needs addressing. I found that water easily spread into the bathroom.
