Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel sits right on the edge of the water just a 20 minute Uber ride away from the Victoria and Alfred Wharf. The breakfast is delicious, so it was definitely worth the price. The dinning options at the hotel are endless too with 24/7 room service, a bar, and delicious eats all around. Security is 10/10 and Yvonne at the reception desk was very helpful when it came to helping me extend my stay when my flight was delayed. I would book this hotel again."
