Excellent Outdoor Facilities

During my stay, I truly enjoyed the amazing outdoor facilities at the Mandolin Beachfront Resort. The large heated pool was perfect for relaxing, and my kids had a blast in the heated children's pool. We also took advantage of the extensive BBQ area with ample seating, making it easy to enjoy meals outside. The full-sized tennis court and mini-golf course were fantastic additions that kept us entertained throughout our visit.

Kid-Friendly Paradise

As a family, we had an very nice time at Mandolin Beachfront Resort! The heated pools and mini-golf course were highlights for my kids, who spent hours enjoying these activities. The resort's family-friendly environment made it easy for us to relax while they played. I couldn't ask for a better experience with so many engaging options for our little ones.

Spacious and Immaculate

I stayed in a beautifully appointed 2-bedroom apartment that was clean and bright. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed, including dishware, utensils, and even a slow cooker. The open layout made it feel spacious, and the comfortable beds ensured a great night's sleep after a day of exploring. Waking up to stunning views each morning was a good bonus!

Delicious Dining Options Nearby

I loved having great dining options within walking distance from the resort. We frequently visited the Vietnamese restaurant located at the front of the hotel-I couldn't get enough of their delicious food! Additionally, the Alex Surf Club across the street offered a fantastic atmosphere for dinner, making it so convenient to grab a meal after a long day at the beach.

I booked a family holiday expecting a superior room, but was disappointed with the outdated and unkempt conditions of the apartment. The stunning ocean view was a definite plus, but the overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. Despite this, the friendly staff and beautiful view made the experience somewhat redeemable.
