First time to Mackay and it was what we expected. Room was great, balcony looking over the pool, friendly staff, accommodating, meals were great, little on the high side, but worth it. Pool area was great, the hotel had weddings, birthdays, gender reveals, bands, it was well controlled, not too loud and quiet in the room, it was almost like we were a part of it! 3-minute walk to the beach, wonderful location, we got taxis everywhere, 10-15 minutes from everything, well worth the stay.
