The hotel offers a convenient and quiet retreat, walking distance to major attractions, and is family-friendly with nice amenities. The two pools are a great feature, but the rooms could use some renovations and a deeper cleaning in certain areas. Overall, it's a good stay for those looking for quality at a reasonable price.

Our room was comfortable and clean, but it felt a bit dated and could benefit from some updates. We noticed dust in the laundry sink, which made us feel it wasn't as clean as it should have been.

The staff was very helpful, offering advice on excursions and allowing us to use the pool while waiting for our transfer. However, they weren't very accommodating regarding our baby's needs when we requested a room on a lower level.

We had a lovely time at Bay Villas Resort, enjoying the spacious and comfortable two-bedroom apartment that overlooked the pool. The location couldn't be better, just a short stroll to both the beach and the main street. The shower was surprisingly good, which is something I usually don't find in hotels. However, the rooms could benefit from some updating as they felt a bit tired, and we did have some noise from younger guests in the pool area. Overall, it offers good value for families looking for convenience and comfort.

I had a delightful stay at Bay Villas Resort, enjoying a clean and comfortable two-bedroom apartment that overlooked the pool. The location was superb, just a short walk from Macrossan Street and Four Mile Beach, though the lighting on the walk back at night could use improvement. The communal areas and the pool facilities were well-maintained. While the apartment was slightly dated in places, it was still very cozy and functional for our family. I really appreciated being able to self-cater thanks to the nearby grocery store, which added great value to our stay.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The facilities were pristine and the pool area was a highlight, perfect for family barbecues and relaxing. The location was unbeatable, walking distance to everything we needed. However, I found the service a bit lacking when it came to flexibility regarding room arrangements, especially traveling with a baby. Overall, a great value for money for an enjoyable family holiday!

The hotel has a great location just a short walk from the town, and the staff were very accommodating in helping us switch rooms for a better view. The swimming pool was a highlight with its comfortable temperature, but the rooms felt a bit outdated and lacking in privacy. While there are some nice amenities and it's easy to get around, the overall experience didn't quite meet the 'resort' expectations.
