The hype
Families love the pool complex and beach access, but couples often find the rooms dated and the noise levels high.

Rezervă dacă You want a family-friendly crash pad directly opposite the beach where the pool is the main event, not the room service.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Prime location right across from Zeally Bay beach
- Two outdoor pools plus a heated indoor lap pool
- Spacious apartment-style layouts perfect for families
Privire rapidă: A well-located resort that's slowly shedding its 'tired' reputation with recent updates, but don't expect a full-service hotel experience—especially at dinner time.
Evaluat de @gastrology.co: I honestly loved visiting Torquay in the off-season. The resort was super quiet, and we spent days just eating our way through local delis and walking on the empty beach. It felt like a proper reset. Definitely bring warm clothes for the patio dining!

Reality check
The 'Resort' label writes checks the amenities can't quite cash—specifically the lack of a proper breakfast or dinner service on the property.
- You need a multi-room apartment for a family trip
- You plan to eat out for every meal anyway
- Pool time is your #1 priority
Curățenie și Întreținere
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally decent, though reports of 'missed spots' like dust under cushions or leftover trash occur.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but watch out for cracked basins or tired grout in unrenovated rooms.
- Maintenance: The property is showing its age; expect some scuffs, peeling paint on balconies, or stiff sliding doors.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade; clean but not luxurious. Pool towels can be scarce.
- Odors & scents: Usually fresh, though some hallways can smell musty or like chlorine from the pool.

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is there a restaurant on site?
Barely. Winkipops Café & Bar serves drinks and pizza, but there is no full-service restaurant for breakfast or dinner. You'll need to walk to The Esplanade for real meals.
Is the pool heated?
The indoor lap pool and outdoor spa are heated. The main outdoor lagoon pool is not heated and can be freezing in cooler months.
Does the hotel have parking?
Yes, free undercover parking, but it's limited. If it's full (which happens often on weekends), you have to park in the public beach car park across the road.
Are the rooms renovated?
Some are. A 'soft refurbishment' of 66 Club Wyndham rooms was completed in late 2025 with a navy/white coastal theme. Standard hotel rooms are hit-or-miss.
Is it pet friendly?
No, pets are not allowed, with the exception of registered service animals.
How far is the beach?
It's directly across the street. You are steps away from Zeally Bay.
Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
The '24-hour pizza' is convenient but basic; order delivery from local spots instead.
- ✨
If you arrive late on a Friday, head straight to the overflow parking across the street rather than getting stuck in the tight garage.
- ✨
The indoor pool is a consistent depth (1.7m), so it's not great for small children who can't swim well.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'Ocean View' is often filtered through a chain-link fence or hedge on lower levels.
💡The outdoor spa steps are steep and uneven—tricky for guests with mobility issues.
💡There is no daily housekeeping for some booking types (especially timeshare/Club stays); check your rate details.
💡The TV has an alarm feature that has been known to glitch and turn on randomly in the early morning.
💡You might find a 'Club Wyndham' sales pitch brochure in your room, as this is a mixed-use timeshare property.
