I recently stayed at this resort and found it a mixed bag. The hotel has a modern feel, and booking a water view room made a big difference in our experience-definitely worth it! The location is great for exploring Port Macquarie, and the staff were helpful when needed. However, the dining experience was a letdown, especially considering the high prices. Overall, while the stay was enjoyable, the restaurant could use some improvement for the price they charge.

I had an overall decent stay, with enjoyable rooms and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the dining aspect left much to be desired, especially considering the service mishaps I encountered. The convenient location is a significant plus, but it's clear that improvements in certain areas are needed to truly consider it a resort experience.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the rooms were clean and spacious, the noise levels were disruptive, especially from the pool area. The service was generally helpful, and the location by the water was lovely. Overall, it's a great place for families, but be prepared for some noise if you're looking for a quiet stay.

Our stay was quite disappointing due to several issues. While the room was spacious and the few staff we interacted with were friendly, the overall cleanliness and service quality were lacking. The amenities were not properly stocked, and the dining facilities were closed without notice. However, the location was decent with nearby attractions, which was a slight redeeming factor.
Rooms

The room was spacious but dusty, and cleanliness was an issue. The emergency light woke us up multiple times during the night, and there was a persistent noise from a large air conditioning unit nearby.
Service

Service was poor, with management seemingly unable to respond to issues adequately. Complaints about the Wi-Fi and the emergency light were met with excuses about being short-staffed.
Location

The hotel is situated in a fairly good location close to shops and attractions, but it does not make up for the other drawbacks.
Dining

The dining options were closed during our stay, and the recommendations provided were often for places that were also closed, which was frustrating.

Our stay at Sails was quite mixed. The location is fantastic, right on the water and close to the town center. However, our 'family room' was cramped and not at all what we expected. The service during meal times was particularly disappointing, with slow delivery and a mix-up of orders. Despite these setbacks, the pool area was lovely, and we appreciated the free parking right outside. Overall, for the price we paid, it didn't quite meet our expectations.
