Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Pointe Estero Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Balcony with beach view was super nice. Kitchen with full range, oven, dishwasher, and microwave was very well appointed. Only minuses were a lack of usb charging, and tv apps were a little weak with no you tube or custom installable apps. Complex could use a fitness room. Most other things you need are within walking distance."

GullWing Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The service was excellent, and everything made my stay enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience. I look forward to staying here again!"
