The analog clock in our room keeps going off several times in the morning, disturbing our sleep. We did not set it. No way to unplug it without destroying the connection. We did not know how to switch it off as it was an old clock. It should be removed as most guests own a smart phone these days where we can set our own alarms if we want to. This unpleasant experience semi-ruined our otherwise nice stay. Apartment was clean and spacious, Staff at cafe got overwhelmed with coffee orders and showed irritation. Again minor blip in our stay but still left an unpleasant mark.

Overall pleasant stay.
After booking a king suite, I called in to check the amenities and I was told that I will be getting full kitchen with stove and oven so I had made arrangements accordingly.
However, upon checking-in I learnt I wasn't getting any of those!
Breakfast buffet - Disappointed having to share tongs for veg and non-veg food!

Best bed ever!
This hotel had the best bed I have ever slept in! Would love to know which model bed it was from the "thathotelbed.com.au" range. The hotel was very clean, our room was a bit dated with the carpet and lounge furniture, but that bed! Still can't get over how comfortable it was. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We had breakfast there two mornings in a row. It was a buffet style breakfast each time and there was a small range of hot and cold food, the same things each day we went. We did have an issue with the wi-fi in the room. My husband and I could not both be on the internet at the same time and the internet was painfully slow. The staff did everything possible to rectify the situation, but we ended up with one of us using the wi-fi, the other used their phone as a tether. Staff were extremely apologetic that they could not rectify the wi-fi issue during our stay.

The staff service was only ok in my experience. And although they have room service, they told me they could not do a simple sandwich for my infant son. I thought from reading reviews through there was more food and shops around. Not the case. The beach is not walking distance with a pram either.

Pioneer Sands Summer Vacation
Overall impression of the Apartment was very welly presented and also maintained well by the room maintenance staff. Bed sheets for the sofa bed was not cleaned or changed. Apartment was a little small for 3 people. Not many options in terms of Lunch. Only breakfast was available. Room Service for ordering lunch or dinner was not flexible enough. Toilet missing lock to the hinge and hence not having enough privacy.

Love the large units. Have stayed here before, and noticed there's still no air-conditioning in bedroom. It's hard sleeping in a stuffy room, and we had the lounge air-conditioning on pretty cold with the door open. Had to sleep under a sheet. But it certainly didn't affect our break, and we always stay here when we come down to visit family.
