The Courtyard hotel was a delight to stay in. The highlight was the staff. Incredibly helpful and friendly. The rooms have recently been upgraded and are quite spacious with an outdoor terrace, kitchenette, comfortable bed. Stones throwaway from beach, casino, boardwalk mall. Highly recommended a stay here

The ocean view was wonderful from my room. Room service was not very effective- I'd place an order on their app, but the app wouldn't always update if the order had been received or not (it's supposed to update the user with this info). I was required to use my CC on the app, but when my food was delivered, they'd ask again for payment. All of this made me uncertain if my initial payments went through or not, or if I'd be paying twice for my meals. The room service personnel did say I could send a screenshot of my order to the front desk to alleviate this uncertainty. The staff was happy to confirm my room service orders every time I called them, but I'd typically have to call to follow up on my orders after placing them on the app. Other than that, everything was great! The staff and room service concierge were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

25th Wedding Anniversary at the Courtyard

It was absolutely amazing. We have no complaints at all. the place was nice and clean. The home service was also impressive. Excellent view, especially to watch the dolphins passing by in the morning.

Actual food service a little slow but staff and food excellent. Not being able to extend ‘book out’ or offer a transit room so we could enjoy the sun a few more hours before our flight out -7 hours time- was very frustrating!

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately our very special occasion only ended up with disappointment and food poisoning from undercooked frozen (as we were informed later by staff) fish which was sent back along with my undercooked steak. We reported the fish to the manager who did not offer any compensation and informed us he would investigate and get back to us - we're still waiting well after 2 weeks. Our last night - disappointment again - and we unfortunately decided to eat at the restaurant again - to play it safe ... salad and pizza. Very underwhelming - the pizza base tasted as if it were a standard supermarket base and not a fresh base. The wine list became limited as several of the wines we chose on different occasions were out of stock. The room was clean, but we needed to air the room each day due to the cleaning agents being used. The pillows were new, but either too large or too soft - frustrating - but they did provide us with extra soft ones to sort it. Parking, security was all good. In general, the staff were friendly and helpful. The beach views from the balcony are excellent, though, not their fault, the traffic noise is continuous. The gym, while small, was adequate for a small workout and it was nice to be able to use the bikes while looking out to the ocean.

The waves on the Indian Ocean are free when you stay here. Super nice facility. One wing was being renovated; all rooms face the ocean. We appreciated being able to do our own laundry (no charge). Would definitely stay here again.

The property is conveniently located for an overnight stay before heading to the airport. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Would most probable suit a longer stay as the rooms have a small kitchen.

One of the very few hotels on the beachfront with sea-facing balconies and convenient parking outside your room. Wide open spaces and a feeling of freedom as the property is huge. Walking distance to beach front, swimming beach, promenade, casino, mall and restaurants!

It was unfortunate that the hotel was undergoing renovations and replacing plumbing was part of it. And water coming out of the bath tub was brown and contend grains of sand and metal, so taking a bath was out of the question.

I find it frustrating that when I book through hotels.com I get the worst room in the hotel. Hotel is beautiful, but I had a view of the casino carpark at the back end of the hotel with the casino generator/aircon making a huge noise 24h.
