The hotel boasts an incredible location right by the beach, making it perfect for a getaway. My room had a breathtaking ocean view, and the space was clean and spacious for my family. Unfortunately, there were several inconveniences, such as construction noise and intermittent issues with the facilities, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. While the price was reasonable for the area, some aspects could definitely use improvement.

Our stay at Imperial Surf was exceptional, thanks to its breathtaking views and convenient location just a short stroll from Central Surfers. The apartment was well-equipped for cooking, and the warm pools were a hit with the kids. However, there were some minor suggestions for improvement, like adding Foxtel for in-house entertainment.
