Albatross Bay Resort

The location provides great views overlooking the water and bay. Guests enjoyed the comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with a powerful shower.

I had someone knocking on the door asking me if i had checked in at 9pm at night. u have to check in to get the key

We knew this was not a holiday destination. I had accompanied my husband on a 3 day work trip, but if you call yourself a 'resort' in the tropics, the very least you would expect is a swimming pool! This place is a little way out of town and you need a car to anywhere, the shopping centre, community hub and alternative eateries are 2-3kms away. The accommodation we had booked was a standard double room on the first floor. It was adequate, but very bland. No colour, no pictures, vary dated and tired. The bathroom was pretty good with a hot powerful shower and the bed was comfortable. The corridors and stairwells were in desperate need of a clean and a refurbishment. Quite off putting as you walk from the carpark. The fire doors, both internally, and the fire escape were propped open and not locked so security was a concern. The daily room service did not happen and we helped ourselves to fresh hand towels as the linen cupboard was left open most of the time The restaurant was a saving grace. We booked an evening meal and were able to watch the beautiful sunset as we dined. The selection was good and our meals were interesting and tasty, although both the beef cheeks and chicken breast were rather dry. The tables were laid up with cloth tablecloths, cutlery and glasses. It was lovely. The sports bar also offers food and drinks from 10am. The staff were not overly friendly, but helpful and courteous. The accommodation is not cheap at $237 a night. We would have expectd something better for that.Next time we are in town we will try somewhere different
