Caves Beach Bar and Bungalow has stunning views and modern aesthetics, making it appear inviting. However, our experience was marred by noise from an unexpected wedding nearby, and various room issues that detracted from the overall comfort. While the dining location offers great potential, the meal quality did not meet our expectations, making the stay feel overpriced for what we received.

I had a wonderful stay in a spacious one-bedroom bungalow that was beautifully fitted out and made for a relaxing break. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were impeccably clean. The basket breakfast provided was a nice touch, though not extravagant. Beach access was fantastic, especially with the caves to explore at low tide. However, I did hear about some difficulties with event planning, which might impact others' experiences.

The resort offers a beautiful setting with a unique bungalow experience, but it comes with a few issues. The cleanliness and privacy of the bungalows are a plus, and the location near the beach and lagoon is fantastic. However, the internet service and staff attitude need significant improvement, which detracted from our overall enjoyment during the stay.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The location was excellent with a beautiful view of the beach, and the food was quite enjoyable. However, the accommodations were far from ideal with cleanliness issues and a need for renovations. The entire place felt quite dated and not what I expected from a luxury resort.

We had a spacious and comfortable stay at this resort, which is conveniently located just across the road from a beautiful beach. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the pizzas, but the cleanliness of the kitchen utensils and some areas could use improvement. Overall, it's a great spot for a beach getaway so close to Sydney, but some aspects need attention to make it truly exceptional.
