Paukaa Holidays from AU$607

Close to most of everything we wanted to do

Great view and friendly staff, property was in good repair. Would have been a 5 star except the parking was troublesome and sliding doors to the lanai were hard to open/close

This is our second time at this hotel, and I'd say the overall experience was even better than first time. That said, there were some hiccups. Positives first: * Really nice upgrade to the previous gym. All gear is new and very good. You cant have an excuse not being able to train. * Very easy parking. * Safe and quiet area - it was lovely change for normally loud environment that you get in super touristy places. * They have improved their organization around towels and pool service overall. Good job. * Room was nice with good view (oceanfront). * Very friendly and helpful staff - from front desk to pool service and room service. Everyone were nice and cheerful. Few improvement areas: * During busy hours it was struggle to get hot water from the shower or sink. * Only 1 restaurant with very expensive prices. Unfortunately, this time around we felt that drinks quality has gone down. Food was OK but not as amazing as we had in the spring. That said, Christmas buffet was very good and forth the money. * Service in restaurant and pool bar was often slow - we waited once 1 hour from sitting to until we got our burgers (during lunch).

The rooms could use a little upgrade. There should be more chairs in the shade for free. All the good chairs are reserved. You shouldn’t have to pay for a shaded seat. For the cost of the room, you should get snorkel equipment for more than one hour. Other than that, I loved the property. Staff was excellent and the dining was great too.
