I recently stayed at a beachside condo for four nights, and I absolutely loved the location, which offered stunning views of the sea. The condo was spacious and had two queen bedrooms with en-suites, but it was showing signs of wear and could use some updating. While there were some maintenance issues with the air conditioning and cable, the overall experience was enjoyable, so it was a decent value for money.

The condo had a good-sized kitchen, a barbecue on the verandah, and enough space for storage. However, the cable TV was broken initially and the air conditioning in one bedroom was ineffective.

Our stay at the resort was mostly delightful, with stunning views from our clifftop bungalow and excellent amenities for our family. However, some aspects, like the tree noise and limited seating for our group, could use improvement. Overall, it offers great value for families, especially with so many activities for kids and beautiful surroundings.

The resort is perched right on the patrolled beach, offering breathtaking ocean views. It's a bit of a trek walking back up the hill from the beach, but totally worth it for the scenery.

We had a fantastic time at this holiday park! The customer service was outstanding, with staff swiftly resolving any issues. The facilities were well-kept and provided plenty of entertainment for the kids. However, the powered sites were a bit cramped, which could be a downside if you prefer more space. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly place with so much to do in beautiful Marimbula.

This resort boasts a stunning ocean view and has a clean, spacious environment perfect for families. The amenities are enjoyable, with plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. However, the experience was overshadowed by a concerning incident with security and unsatisfactory response from management, which detracted from an otherwise lovely stay.
