Hotel Pantai di Cowes

We have just had a week at the resort and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All the staff were friendly and the two bedroom villa was perfect for our needs. Great kitchen that had everything we needed to cook our own meals . Living area was a good side and the adequate bathroom had a bath, great water temperature. Free wifi worked really well and the place was very clean and warm. We had decking area front and back with outdoor furniture, the villas are all individual and in a nice bush setting, the grounds are all well maintained the workers are always busy, good on them. We enjoyed the indoor pool and the indoor and outdoor hot spas. You had to ring each day to book a time for the indoor spa. We did that each morning for a late afternoon session, it worked well. There is a nice walk around the resort with plenty of Birdlife to see. There are two gyms, two pool complex's either end of this big resort also tennis courts, barbecues, game rooms which the kids would love and pedal carts. I imagine this place would be very busy during holiday time . Walked into town each day,takes about 40 minutes to the Port, good exercise. There is a restaurant on site but can't comment as we never ate there. A great place to stay, we look forward to returning.

Checked in late for an overnight stay, and it was brilliant. Lovely rooms, well appointed and clean, excellent location, with views of the bay. Friendly check in staff. Dinner and drinks at the hotel was great, good range, excellent venue and fantastic food. Plenty of off street parking for the Harley, but not a fan of gravel carparks. Great place to stay.

We went with another family and combined we had three 6 year old girls. We loved the ability to simply walk a few metres to the beach and also walk a few metres to the pool and outside spa. The pool/spa is setup prefect for adults and children to enjoy together. I have stayed there over nearly twenty years and some years back I did stay on a soft mattress but I am pleased to say that this time everything was perfect. The rooms are bog enough, clean and have all we need. The best part I enjoy about about staying at Kaloha is cooking breakfast on the bbqs in the late morning while the kids can run around and enjoy the playground or jumping castle.

This is a really lovely apartment. So close to the shops, all of Cowes attractions and the beautiful beach. Very spacious and a great balcony, pool and spa. Unfortunately we had a leak in the toilet but I am going to email management. One flight of stairs to the second level where our apartment was. Very impressed and would stay again. A few more toilet rolls would have been nice and a few packets of washing powered rather than the one but the supermarkets are five minutes away.

Clean and spacious room right in the heart of food and shopping area. I like it that the room is equipped with a microwave oven, fridge, kettle and stove with pots, pans, crockery and utensils for cooking. Parking lot is just outside the unit that allows for ease of loading and unloading luggage. We had a comfortable stay. If checking in late (6pm and after) do call them so that they can leave the keys behind for you. There is heater in case it gets too cold.

Unfortunately, it was not the relaxing getaway my fiancée and I thought it would be. We're not very hard to please and are happy to stay mostly anywhere as long as there's a comfy bed and quiet. We stayed two nights in the garden villa which was the most premium and expensive room on offer, expecting a secluded and private area to ourselves, which for the most part is what we got. Visually, the garden surrounding the villa is stunning with a delightful view of greenery and nature, and there is no one else who stays in that area behind the main building. The room itself was eclectic in decor which was a welcome change to stay somewhere with unique tastes as opposed to the usual and generic designs of modern accommodation. The spa in the room was great and worked very well, it was warm and the jets were functioning fine. However, we had the horrible luck of staying on two nights where there was a family, with children, staying directly above us. The ceiling feels like it's paper thin and you can hear every footstep that people are taking above, specifically when they walk down the hallway to use the bathroom (yes you can tell their movements due to the 10 - 12 steps they take followed soon after by the sound of a toilet flushing and then another 10 - 12 steps and someone going down stairs). This would usually be semi-bearable, as the occasional sound of someone walking back and forth is still annoying, but fine. But as mentioned earlier, there were children staying up there and they insisted on running back and forth down that hallway so many times throughout the day, and especially the early morning, that it became extremely frustrating to hear. I tried to take an afternoon nap when we arrived after being so exhausted from the travel and was woken up by the sound of thumping footsteps running back and forth. As these two nights were supposed to be our little getaway from our own kids, and a chance for us to have a relaxing sleep in, we wanted to nip this problem in the bud immediately. We reported the noise to the proprietor Jenni on the first night, Jenni was very friendly and assured us that she would speak to the family about the kids' running around. We later spoke over the phone again to the other proprietor, Harley who was also very friendly (and characteristically humourous) about the situation, reassuring us that the family had been spoken to. Harley also mentioned that the family was in fact, their own family visiting from the UK (as this site also appears to be the actual residence of the two proprietors). I am unsure of the logistics of this situation, but personally, I believe that having your own family members stay at the location, but cause disruption to the paying customers, is an unfair and detrimental business decision. The next morning I was woken up at approximately 7:00am to the sound of children's feet running back and forth and thumping above me again. Not just to the bathroom but just constant back and forth through a

We stayed at the Waves for 3 nights and it was a perfect stay. In an amazing location looking out to the beach and a 2 minute walk to the main *****, could not get a better location. It was so clean and tidy absolutely immaculate it looked clean and even little things like the doonas smelt clean. I would more recommend to smaller families so 3 or less children otherwise it might get a bit snug. Staff was very friendly as well and car parking is provided that is safe and secure. Cooking wise there is a stove top and a pan, not a very good pan more aiming for patrons to go out and support the community. There is free WIFI there too, worked like a treat.

Very nice place to stay not far from the town centre beaches well they just get a past The thing that ruin our holiday were the people on the island as in town we heard bloody tourist they think they own the place .Well it was in the supermarkets and in a couple of shops . The roads on the island are like bush tracks and only a two land road on and off as we found that when the island started to get busy just one slow journey A few good places to see but rating wise i would not go overboard The main street well i found it was hard to get a park ing spot when busy ,i have found places better than Cowes and more friendlier people on my travels .Even though it is hard to yravel at the moment with covid .BUT ONE OF THESE DAYS IF ANY ARE GOING TO TRAVEL FIND A BETTER PLACE THAN Philip ISLAND bUT Hilltop was a good place to stay would do it again but as i say just the people on the island as they are rude to the tourist Even tough i live in Darwin we have got great spots to see ,but the island has but many faults about it and the way things are ran .So before thinking of your next break thing carefully on were you are going to go
