“This beachfront resort in Coffs Harbour presents a mixed experience. The setting amongst tropical gardens is appealing, and the apartments cater well to families, but I noted some inconsistency in service and maintenance. While the recent beach bar renovation shows promise, a property-wide refresh is needed to meet expectations for a resort of this caliber.”
