Liked: BBQ

Disliked: The Manager. She is rude. She and her nasty "i'll take your key deposit away" notes spoil the whole atmosphere.

Backpacking / gap year

28 February 2011

Liked: Close to the water where our activities were.

Disliked: It was so noisy, the people there acted like they were at a party all night. There was only one toliet and one shower in the private room section which is RIDICULOUS because it almost made us miss our tour because we were unable to shower because someone else was in it. The staff wasn't there after 8pm but did leave our key out. Super noisy.

Liked: I've stayed the Bay Adventurer a few times before, and keep coming back because we know that it's exactly what we want and need - clean, friendly, sweet location - close to all the bars, but far enough away that it's quiet. Props to the staff, they've taken awesome care of us... we'll be back again I'm sure

24 April 2010 Martin would recommend this property

Liked: I think, there are too many staff-members, all using the pool and spa. Shouldn't that be for the guests only?The kitchen opens in the morning only at 7.30, isn't that a bit too late. Especially for someone who has to check out early?

Liked: We had a great time here. Rooms were nothing special but good for the price. The free bikes were a real bonus to our trip and the big penny farthing looking one is very comfy. There was a good atmosphere but it wasn't too noisy that you couldn't sleep so best of both really. Kitchen is a little on the small side but still fine. Just wished we had known about the hot tub before our last day!

17 February 2010 Melissa would recommend this property

Liked: The property is lovely, I stayed in a 6 bed dorm very nice, rooms do get a bit hot tho so some fans or air-con would be great but otherwise nice. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are both nice addition to the place and only a 2 min walk from the beach and town centre. I did see 2 cockroaches during my stay but otherwise place seems clean.
