The room I stayed looked like it had just been renovated. I give the room 5 stars. Nice clean modern bathroom. Well lit room with LCD tv. The let down was the food. I had the rib fillet for dinner. Cooked well, but not the greatest cut. The breakfast is a big disappointment. You are left to your own devices.... More

We had a lovely clean room with excellent ocean views,a newly refurbished very clean bathroom, comfortable bed and very nicely decorated. The staff were very friendly and helpful and lamb shanks with a good glass of wine or two was amazing ...couldn't ask for more, can't wait to return :)

I haven't ever stayed at the Mermaid Hotel as I rent in town but each time I have come here I have a great time in the main bar and enjoy sitting in the beer garden overlooking the ocean views if having a meal with some drinks. The beer garden is suitable for families and is nice and quiet. The... More

Beautiful location. Very small rooms but newly refurbished bathroom which is very nice and new carpet. Bed comfortable, Staff friendly. Obviously utilised by contracters but we heard no noise Very overpriced however cheap for the going rate in this region.

This place is feral - avoid at all costs. Pubic hairs in the bathroom sink, filthy bathroom, tiny rooms smelled of sewage. Dirty water glasses in the fridge - I could go on ..........When the hotel advertises itself on the net it says nothing about the skimpy barmaids who appear to be offering 'extras' to the contractors residing here.
