    The only facility I didn’t enjoy was the pool. It was really cold at first but got used to the temperature. I would still prefer the water to be more heated so that more people would actually go. Some of the people I was staying over with refused to go due to the coldness of the pool. Other then that the rest was amazing 🤩

    I enjoyed the food of the breakfast and the quick responses of the staff members. The settings of lunch and dinner was amazing and the beds were very comfy. I also enjoyed the room and views there. I enjoyed the facilities like the gym and the kayaking spot. Keep up the good work 😊

    Furnishings etc in our room were quite dated. Probably a bit overpriced in comparison but better than travelling home late from an event at the resort.

    We were attending an event at the resort so was great from that aspect. Room was spacious.

    I found the restaurant food to be very basic and not much to choose from and also it would be good to have ice containers in freezer.

    I like the piece and quiet very relaxing also they have alot of activities to choose from.

    Communication regarding breakfast was disappointing. There was no communication regarding having to register everyday to get the discounted breakfast deal. Two of our family members did not have an alternative email address so was expected to pay $40 to eat with us, so they didn’t join us. Another family member who was already an Accor member also had to register to get the same discount. Just didn’t make sense. In addition only card transaction was acceptable to purchase drinks, food and or snacks which incurred a fee for the transaction, and for some family members who have travelled from overseas mostly had cash, so they weren’t able to freely pay for things so other family members did in there behalf. Disappointing

    Facilities was amazing

    When I asked if there was a communal microwave available at Novotel while making a reservation, I was told that they could provide one in the room upon request for $10 a day. So, I brought some food for my kids. Despite asking several times from check-in onwards, I didn't receive any response and ended up throwing away the food. At checkout, there was an extra charge of $20, and when I inquired about a refund, they said they could arrange it but I had to wait until the next day. Feeling increasingly frustrated about not receiving the promised service, I questioned why I had to wait again for a refund. Only then did they finally refund me. I can't understand why they didn't just say they couldn't provide the microwave from the beginning, as we would have never requested it. Even if there had been a microwave, we intended to use the hotel restaurant

    It was great because the kids had a fun time. They enjoyed kayaking during the day and playing ping pong and games at night Also, the room had been renovated, so it was cleaner than last year, which was great.
