The one bedroom apartment was very spacious, even had a balcony. The living room is very well spaced, with 2 double couches and a dining table for 4. Tv in both living room and bedroom. Non-stick pan and plastic utensils were a bit dirty and damaged, but can use the stainless pots if needed. Even though parking spots are not allocated to rooms, but there were plenty of undercover and street parking. Walking distance to shops and restaurants, Aldi is right behind the back fence. Would stay there again.

Wouldn’t recommend. Overpriced for the current state of the property. Needs general upkeep and safety maintenance. Bar staff weren’t polite and charged us more than the prices listed on the menu. Pool ladder is rusted and broken, underwater pool light is broken and hanging in water which cut my foot, hottub was not hot, no pool towels. Wifi in room did not work on our devices or on the hotel TV. Drywall and furniture in room needs repair/refinishing. Only positive was the bed was comfortable enough.

I stayed at The Esplanade Resort and Spa during my recent trip to Lakes Entrance and it was definitely the nicest place to stay in the area. The resort served as a lovely home base for my vacation. The amenities were great, and the overall experience was wonderful. However, the only downside was the mattress on the bed, which was quite hard. Nonetheless, I would still recommend the resort to anyone visiting Lakes Entrance.

I would have like to have clear directions to the room from reception. There are many rooms in this complex, and we had to double back and ask for directions. No map was provided. In addition, the television was not working. Very ordinary. In room facilities, back to the 90s. One choice of tea bag, one choice of powdered, instant coffee. The experience was like camping in a room.

Love the pool and spa, clean well designed rooms, nice staff, family friendly, good location. Didn't like the price (OK for this off-peak stay). Post COVID peak rates seem to have gone through the roof. We and 2 other families with kids prior to COVID came up every year and stayed in really nice rooms. This is no longer affordable as the peak prices are now what I believe to be outrageous so we stay elsewhere. Parking can be challenging, I just stayed mid week at the end of March and had to park outside.
