Not a resort and misleading photos
This place is not a resort in my view it's a pub with rooms. Unfortunately, the rooms are around the bar, so it's noisy until 10 pm midweek. I would not stay here again. The photo of the pool is not accurate. They have airbrushed out all of the rooms that are at the back and the other side of the pool is the pub bar. Misleading and poor advertising at its best.

4/10 Fair

Photos really are deceiving, looks like an oasis - it’s an old backpackers with a few new cushions and a couple of prints. Rooms are small and have no power points to use, have to unplug fridge or light to access a free one. Noisy, but that’s location. Can’t open curtains, as no nets to cover people looking completely inside the room from outside as they walk by your room. Very basic, and pretty average.

Good surroundings, very inviting and good options for dining. We had a small room and can get noisy. Bar attendant had the personality of your mother in law and the beer on tap could be colder for NQ

6/10 Good

The hotel rooms are directly adjacent to the rooftop restaurant, which gets loud and can stay loud very late into the night. Multiple nights we were woken by yelling and people running past our door. The rooms are small and only suitable for more than one person if they are very close. The bathroom/shower area has no privacy, so we frequently left the room while the other was showering. There's a small underground parking garage suitable for compact cars. I had a full-size three- row SUV, and scraped the frame a couple times entering and exiting the steep ramp. Prices are what you would expect for the area. It's a few blocks from the Strand (easy walking) and avoids higher prices. Very close to the ferries to Magnetic Island. Staff are friendly. Food in the restaurants is good. Pool looks nice, although we didn't use it. Separating the rooms from restaurant parties would go a long way towards making this a hidden gem. A door (even a curtain) would certainly help the privacy issue with the bathroom.

We stayed at the Rambutan while I was competing in the Duathlon world championships in Townsville. The night before my race, the hotel hosted two parties on their rooftop common area (a bachelorette party and a wedding reception). This area is right by the hotel rooms and we were not informed that either of these events would be taking place in advance. We were initally told there was no space for us to eat at the restaurant that night (which we had planned on for logistical simplicity with my race) and the noise from the partying hosted by the hotel woke me up multiple times after midnight, which was really unfortunate for my races the next day. We let the front desk know upon checkout and they acknowledged that they had received several complaints about the noise and said all they could do was offer us free coffees at the restaurant for the trouble. At a very minimum I would have expected the hotel to inform us that they would be hosting parties in the common areas that are within earshot of the private rooms. If I had known this was going to be scheduled the night before my race I would have made accommodations elsewhere.

Everything was perfect from when I got there, the staff bent over backwards to help me out if I ever needed anything at all.

Good location, could do with a lick of paint
Good central location, spacious room and good value for money. Some noise from bar/pool area outside room, property a bit run down and definitely not 5 star. Car park difficult to find on road behind property, on a very steep decline which scratched our vehicle.

Townsville must have won the Grand Final on the day we stayed. There were revellers partying till midnight around the rooftop pool and bar three millimetres from our unit door, after which they all moved to the street screaming yelling and vomiting until 4am. Never again.

Built on to an old building, it has some defects, eg lift has potential to break down. Very noisy as nearly all apartments are around pool and bar.

The rooms are quite small, which is why they didn't get an excellent rating. A king sized bed doesn't leave much space when a couple with a suitcase each are occupying the room.

6/10 Good

Unfortunately for us as over 80’s. Parking and access was a disaster. A very, very steep drive to the underground parking was beyond me - driving a borrowed car. Extremely steep stairs from the upstairs parking were beyond us - let alone carrying luggage down. The lovely general manager JR or RJ drove and parked the van and helped with luggage
