“Improved restaurant”

Really enjoyed a dinner on the tropical terrace. New Asian inspired menu a great improvement on previous heavy for the tropics European attempt. Had an enjoyable seafood lakes.
Hotel rooms comfortable & clean, though noisy from adjacent air conditioners.

“BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AVERAGE ROOM”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

Stayed here in late September in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband a friend and his daughter for a wedding. The gardens are so lovely surrounding the whole complex you certainly feel that you are in tropical Qld Pool was very clean and inviting There certainly was no issues there. Having said that the 2 bedroom apartment was very average. The kitchen/dining/lounge was very small. Even though the apartment catered for 5 people the dining table was butted up against a wall and had 3 chairs around it There was a 2 seater couch against the other wall and 2 chairs pushed against the window which faced the balcony Really very tiny There was an old style airconditioned servicing this area effective but dripped water outside onto the balcony There was only 1 bathroom which looked like it had been renovated recently The bedrooms were very basic double bed, wardrobe and side tables with another old style airconditioner Double bed was average to sleep in The second bedroom had a single bed with double bunks in it and according to the other guests were really uncomfortable Tried the restaurant the first night we got there meal was fairly average for the price so did not eat there again Staff I found to be very friendly and helpful. As someone else stated 5 star grounds 3 star rooms

“Not good enough”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012

One of the reasons I booked here was because they had advertised they had an internet kiosk well they don't. They also have a tennis court we were looking forward to using but were unable to because they were doing renovations and using the court as a workshop area. The room we had was located close to the dining/bar area and on one night there was a private function that went until after 1 am. With plenty of other accomodation available in Townsville you would think they would be more professional and considerate of their paying guests. We were very dissapointed with this hotel.

“5 star grounds & 3 star rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

I recently had the opportunity to return to Seagulls Resort after many years. I must say that it has been maintained very well over that time period. The gardens within which the hotel sits are spectacular and hide a lovely pool for cooling off in tropical north Queensland. However, regardless of the lovely gardens the rooms are made of 'Besser brick' and while neat, clean and tidy have the quality of a fairly average 3 star country motel.
The staff are very variable. Those in the Restaurant couldn't have been more helpful. Having arrived back from business engagements at a few minutes to 9pm I realised that the kitchen may well not take an order given that it closes at 9pm. However, I asked and was very pleased to be told that provided I didn't want a grill, the grill having been turned off and cooled, there would be no problem. To make things easy I chose the chicken curry, as I was certain that would have been pre-made. I was surprised at how good it was, plenty of chicken and medium heat. The desert, a chocolate moose was equally good and very rich.
The staff at the Reception were on the other hand completely uninterested in their guests. They were by no means rude, but at the same time they didn't seem happy to see a new guest.
I don't think I was treated to a smile let alone a welcoming word at any stage.
I would certainly not recommend Seagulls for business purposes. While they have wi-fi internet connection in the Resort, it runs on a quaint system that requires you to personally go to reception and purchase access when you will be provided with a username and password. If if course you get back late from business and the reception is closed then you have no hope of obtaining internet access.
Good for a relaxation and a playground for children but not for business.

Room Tip: Rooms away from the front are a bit less like a country motel.
