I had an amazing time at this hotel, which is perfectly located right on Sharks Bay beach with easy access to great diving spots. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, creating a sense of community among guests and staff alike. The rooms were nice but needed better places to hang wet clothes. The food was incredible, especially the seafood, but sometimes the service could be a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it’s excellent value for money, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway.
