Been told there will be charges for our dogs even though Expedia said no fees, no surprises on arrival. Been told to take our dogs outside of the property to do their business which we respectfully did. Then asked again whilst outside of the property, to take our dogs to the nearest park even though we had poo bags ready on us. Paid cash extending another night and was owed $10 change. And when I said just give it to me later since we see each other everyday, Waited for me to be fully packed, outside of the yard, double checking keys and gate card "were"actually in the Dropbox to return my $10 change. Everywhere was dirty and unpleasant. We had no blankets, very uncomfortable beds and the whole atmosphere was a true let down. We will never stay at the cornucopia "budget" resort ever again.

You get what you pay for (bed, shower/toilet) and small room. The staff were extremely polite & helpful. Security gate made our stay feel safe. Close to Fannie Bay restaurants & Parap markets which was handy. Comfy bed & clean sheets. Shower was old & stained but clean. Thanks for fitting us in at last minute.

I liked the assistance from the staff. I didnt like there were no side tables, no teaspoons, no toiletries, and I didn't like that other guests were drinking and fighting at 3am keeping me awake

Friendly staff, but property was old and not well maintained. Springs poked through the mattress, and my wife got some bites whilst sitting on the small chair in the room. Good location, close to beach and Yacht club. Overall, would not recommend it.
