I had a wonderful stay at this resort. The room was spacious, modern, and very comfortable, with a fantastic king-size bed that made my nights restful. The resort offers a variety of pools which were a delightful feature, especially with the different temperatures to choose from. However, there were some minor issues with door handles and maintenance problems that needed attention. The beach was a short, scenic walk away, and it was lovely to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Overall, it was a relaxing break, but the limited towel changes during the week was a bit of a downside.

I had a lovely week at the resort, enjoying the clean rooms and the helpful staff. The pools were well-kept and the scenic nature reserve right at the doorstep was a big plus. However, it is a bit far from the main attractions, which can be a downside for those wanting to explore more.

My experience at the resort was mixed. While the beautiful surroundings and ample activities made it enjoyable, the service and maintenance left much to be desired. The renovations looked promising, but many aspects of the stay were disappointing, making it hard to fully recommend.

While the facilities pack in a range of activities and well-kept outdoor spaces, the pool areas could use serious maintenance and cleanliness improvements.

We had a family summer holiday at a privately owned unit at Breakers, and while the resort has a lot of potential with great facilities for kids and a wonderful location near the beach, our unit felt tired and needed some serious maintenance. The kids club was underwhelming, and some staff members were unhelpful, affecting our overall experience. It could be a fantastic place with better management, but it currently falls short in several areas.

Rooms

The unit we stayed in was adequate but definitely needs some TLC. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it convenient for our family, but overall it felt a bit tired.
Service

Most of the staff were rude and unaccommodating, which was disappointing. However, there were a few who stood out as genuinely helpful.

The resort offers fantastic facilities for children, but the kids club needs more facilitators and fresh ideas to truly engage the kids.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. I loved the relaxing atmosphere and the variety of activities available, especially for families. The proximity to the beach was fantastic, but my experience with the events management was extremely disappointing, particularly their lack of support for specific cultural ceremonies. Overall, the hotel has great potential but some services are lacking.
