As a regular over the years, its so hard to give a review on this place, as soon as you step of the barge, the world is lifted from your shoulders everything just drifts away, as always the setting is beautiful, even when they are booked out it never seems busy at the resort or overcrowded. Since its been purchased by Accor, the food has gone from 2 stars to 4 you can even see some of the new talent around, they are younger more enthusiastic chefs that obviously want to make a mark for themselves, so the food is great best eating in more then 8 years for sure. My Loft Villa 514, was HUGE, could have had 4 couples in here for sure if you were on a budget, Big lounge area big dining area, massive bathrooms great air con etc etc..... But here is where is gets hard to review, .... Everything is old, old carpets STINK and are terribly stained and water damaged near bathrooms and balconies, furniture was stained and old and smelly (sofa's) decor and old and damaged and dirty, not unhygienic dirty just old and stained from 30 years of ware and tear. You just see things and you ask the question ... i know this is an eco resort but i dont think i would accept the level of built up dirt , dirty windows, and bathrooms stinky stained carpets and walls at any other hotel or resort i would complain and ask to be moved. DO NOT TOUCH THE SOAP DISPENSERS they take the casings off the refill them but don't seem to see the black mold that is growing inside of them when they open them, no i'm not mental i brushed against my one and it fell open i wouldn't open it normally, friends checked theirs in the hotels rooms and same thing inside the dispensers black mold everywhere...NASTY. Cleaners need a good kick up the bum they do surface cleaning and not real cleaning... and surely there is a government grant they can apply for to get some assistance updating the resort... it just needs $5000 allocated to each apartment to bring it into 2018 and freshen it up, new carpet, paint and bathroom tiles would just bring it back to life. Staff are always lovely , professional friendly, albeit the Sandbars girls are a bit dumb ( i witnessed one telling a customer sorry all the schooner glasses are dirty you can wait 10 mins or i can poor you a beer in a wine glass, when the man said could you please just wash this schooner glass and handed her his empty one, she looked at the man with confusion and said sure but the dishwasher wont be done for 10 mins ... lol appears young people dont know how to wash a glass the old fashion way) That all being said, Its ok , Im at kingfisher its so lovely i don't even care about these things like i might at another hotel im here to unwind and not worry about this sort thing, I will be back again , maybe you will surprise me next time with a face lift in the rooms, maybe you wont either way we will be back.. Oh and the DINGO bar... ive never had more fun in a place that smells like a public toilet in my life... that i can remember... good times :) seeyou soon
