Opal Cove Resort Coffs Coast

Overall, opal cove resort is what it is, a family friendly resort that seems to focus on being average to maintain broad appeal. Rooms: It 's hard to move beyond the dated bathroom. While the shower pressure was a highlight the rest was in desperate need of a face-lift. Noteworthy details: The resort occupies a large space and seems to struggle to fill the space with meaningful points of interest. Our stay felt like a trip on the 'ghost ship '. Very cold feeling space. Rooms: 2 Service: 4 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view, Kid-friendly

What a disaster! Used the bathroom as soon as we arrived couldn 't find a toilet brush. 'Phoned reception; Megan said we don 't have any ??? I cleaned the bowl by hand!! I spoke with Jason, the duty Manager on the way to the pool, he said that that wasn 't very good left it at that. The pool gate lock is broken which makes it very unsafe for children so I will report that to the Council tomorrow as a 'duty of care ' approach. The list of negatives is endless. Needless to say we won 't be back. Rooms: 1 Service: 1 Location: 2

Definitely give 5 stars. It does need a little refurb, however the service is personal and professional. Clean tidy rooms, delicious food, lovely pool. Special shout out to staff that made it that much more enjoyable! Great customer service which is rare!!!!

I was very cautious when booking Opal Cove due to some of the reviews, although I needn’t have worried as our family had an absolutely fantastic time. The resort is a little dated, but that didn’t detract from our enjoyment, I particularly loved the beautiful tree-lined driveway leading up to the resort from the main road. There is so much to do for families, from the swimming pool with a slide, a separate spa as well as a pool bar in the afternoons serving food, drinks and ice-creams (we didn’t even need to leave our lounges as they come around and serve you! . There’s a mini golf area, a games area and as we were there over Christmas, evening movies with inexpensive pop corn and choc tops. Being a bit older, our kids could go off and do their own thing and were always very safe. We booked one of the villas and the one we were given was fantastic, really clean and modern and for the price, given cost of living at the moment, it was great value for money. The food and drinks in the restaurant were always great and we particularly enjoyed happy hour from 5 pm, I’m not sure I’ve ever had drinks as cheap as this while on holidays. Most of the staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful (yes, we did run into a couple of unfriendly and unhelpful people , but again that didn't detract from our enjoyment. A special shout out to the lovely lady who served me and made me a coffee each morning, she is an absolute asset to your team (sorry I didn’t get her name . Our visit to Opal Cove was great value for money and with direct flights on Qantas Link we’ll definitely come back again. Rooms: 4 Service: 4 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Great value
