"Amazing location steps from the beach and a short walk to the main shops and restaurants. Bus stops right out on the street for those not wanting to walk to places. My only disappointment was the shower was very low flow and the temperature was a bit challenging to get right. This might be just the suite I stayed in and otherwise it was a great stay."

Oaks Casuarina Santai Resort

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at the Oaks Casuarina Resort. However we feel general upkeep and maintenance of the property has dwindled somewhat over the past few years. Some of the timber railings and stairs need sanding and a fresh coat of finish, the roof tiles are looking faded and weathered in places and the spa surrounding tiles had some mould. The cupboard door to our room fridge didn’t shut properly, there was a stain on the rug and the dryer didn’t dry clothes/towels despite following the instructions carefully. However the room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. This is our third stay in three years and we were a little disappointed."
