These Scots loved it all
We booked the Intercontinental as a last minute decision to stop on the way back to Brisbane. It was just for the one night to recover from Lennoxhead. It was this or the Imperial but I'm delighted I chose correctly. This time? Wow! Just wow! From the minute we arrived until we left we had absolutely superb service - from everyone. The better half had knackered her ankle so we asked if we could get a lift to the rooms. Couldn't be simpler and in fact we used that particular service to go into the village and then to leave. Wife decided she had to have some wedges so off to the outside bar I went. I asked if they could be sent to the upstairs bar inside but being a deefie... thought they said that was ok. Fifteen minutes later I had a feeling I'd misunderstood. The wonderful Veronica checked it out and said it was an unusual request but they all decided that they'd bring the wedges up. Up they came in their own boxes with the sauce in another one. Brilliant they were too. The room itself (Phoenix room 333 overlooking the lagoon) was tops with two nice big double beds, proper coffee machine, comfy chairs and a good sized tellie. Wallabies welcomed us when we went for a walk and a couple of them had joeys hiding underneath. Breakfast had a decent selection with only one complaint. All the food was lukewarm; good though and the barramundi was hot and excellent. But for heavens sake turn up the water heat. Check out The Sebel Coolangatta to see how it should be done.

The hotel feels tired. Rooms were very expensive because of the boat show and I should have paid a regular room rate and stayed down at the Gold Coast in a newly renovated place. There was no forewarning at all that there would be a very loud party on the hotel lawn near our room until 10pm. I know 10pm isn’t extremely late but as an early riser I would have appreciated the information and I wouldn’t have booked the non-refundable room. The room is basic. You’re paying for the location.

Exceptional!!
Just the most beautiful resort! Everything was clean and stunning. Our room had everything we needed! The dining options on site were exceptional and our kids had the best time with the pools and mini golf. The service was outstanding and we everything was taken care of for us! We are already looking to come back!
