My husband and I along with our 3 week old daughter stayed for a weekend at the Marina Resort. Although the location is excellent the whole resort does need an urgent upgrade. Because it was a last minute booking we stayed on the ground level the first night then moved to the 3rd level into a bigger room, the problem... More

We booked this to attend our friends' wedding. Arangements had been made to get a 10% discount if at least ten of us stayed there. The Lobby was old and dingy looking and the front desk area looked cluttered and unkept. Not the neat, efficient desk you normally see. We waited about 5 minutes for someone to come to serve... More

Great location but the building needs to be leveled and start again. Terribly outdated furniture, old TV, extremely noisy plumbing and no plates or cutlery. The restaurant had lovely views but that was the only good thing about it. Food presented was below acceptable standards.

The location of this place is superb - easy walk to the marina, beaches, whale watching cruises, shops and restaurants. Our room had a fabulous view overlooking the d'Alboro marina. That's pretty much where the positives stop and the negatives begin. On arrival our room appeared surface-clean, although very dated, in need of refurbishment and in some aspects, repair: frayed...
