I had a mix of experiences at this resort. The location was great, but I was disappointed with the cleanliness and condition of the rooms. The management's attitude really affected my stay, making it less enjoyable than it could have been. Overall, while I appreciated the easy access to the beach, the service and room quality left a lot to be desired.

My stay at Waterview Resort was quite disappointing due to the new management. While the location remains fantastic and the views are lovely, the change in management has drastically affected the atmosphere. The rooms were okay, but cleanliness was questionable, and service from the management wasn't up to par. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my recent experience.

We had an amazing stay in Unit 6, which might be a bit dated but was super clean and comfortable with a breathtaking view. The location is perfect; we didn’t need our car at all, as it’s easy to walk to everything, including Bullcock Beach. Unfortunately, the experience was tarnished by the property managers, who were intrusive and not very professional. The overall vibe has changed, making it less enjoyable than our previous visits.

I sadly had a disappointing experience during my stay. The location was great, but the management's behavior was off-putting and made me uncomfortable. I really enjoyed the view from the unit, but it felt like the amenities were lacking and they didn’t seem to care when issues were reported. Overall, it used to be my favorite place, but it’s no longer the same.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. The location is unbeatable, close to the beach and great restaurants, and the rooms are wonderful with lovely views. However, some aspects of the service were lacking, particularly when it came to addressing issues. I had high hopes for the amenities, but some were disappointing, especially in the penthouse unit I booked.

Rooms

The penthouse room I stayed in had beautiful views, but it was poorly equipped with kitchen items and no toiletries supplied. It also lacked a good rooftop setup, which was the main reason I chose it.

While the place has potential, I found the rooftop area of the penthouse to be underwhelming with only old, worn-out furniture. No BBQ was provided, which was a letdown since I expected more from such a unit.
