Pleasant Stay

We stayed at a king seaview room which has an unobstructed seaview, a deck leads to large lawn area right by the sea which was so beautiful. Not sure about the cleanliness though we found crumbs of food on the floor and one of the pillows have black marks on. The shower over bath dripping water all over the floor from the glass every time you took a shower. Staff are nice and friendly can't complain. Overall we enjoyed ourselves at Copthorne bay of islands.

Great spot with beautiful locations nearby. Rooms were a little dated but it is a busy spot with lots of visitors. The resort itself is set up perfectly for larger groups and those that want to spend time outside and exploring the area. Really great location
