Stayed at Rydges Esplanade for 4 nights and had a great time. Booked through hotel club and managed to get a top floor, ocean view room with buffet breakfast included every morning for around $110 per night! The views were amazing, the room was large and clean and the position of the resort was great (quiet) as it is a... more

We stayed for only one night at Rydges Esplanade but it was perfect, right next to the shops and beach and restaurants but not noisy. The staff were very friendly and the room was very good. We got a very ood price too on Laterooms.com as it was low season. I would go back to this hotel. more

I travelled with my girlfriend to the hotel, We were very excited because it was suposed to be a resort... The room looked like a room from a very cheap motel and the staff was not very nice, in fact the manager didn't have the best attitude. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, if you can, rent a car... more

For a four star resort it just doesnt meet your expectations. Room was okay and so was the location. But you can definitely get something better which is closer to where the main action is. The worst thing in the hotel is the staff - extremely unfriendly, impolite, unaccomodating. The front desk staff as well as the restaurant staff at... more

Found the receptionist unfriendly on our arrival no apology when our room wasn't ready at 2pm to checkin. The rooms are spacious and had lovely views over the esplanade, but the bathroom still had the previous guests soap and half used shampoo bottle on the window ledge. The swimming pool didn't look very inviting had a lot of leaves and... more

Motel is soooo dated, Pools are Freezing, Spa was so extremely hot that you could only stand being in it for 5 minutes at the most! Staff extremely Rude, Awful Location. We truly felt like we had stepped back into... more

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. As a solo traveller I found my room on Floor 12 to be extremely spacious, even had a settee in it, which of course I did not use. The view of the mountains in the distance was pleasant. All the facilties in the room worked so no complaints there. I found ALL the... more
