Best Hotels in Umina Beach

Stayed here last September for a swimming carnival and couldn’t fault it. So my daughter booked on line for a TRYathlon that my grandson was in today - using the same room details. This was months ago. We were disappointed that it was a different room upon arrival. Several reasons were given, including renovations, but these were done before our previous booking. Then we were told that online must call these room by a different name. No - we had the details from our previous booking, same room descriptions. Funnily enough, my other daughter booked on line, AFTER us and got the room we wanted. We still had plenty of room and couldn’t do much about it, but none the less disappointing. The room was spacious, and clean with all the usual inclusions, no hair dryer though. Nice clean white bed linen and towels, and comfortable beds. Modern bathroom with a waterfall shower head. Heavy cigarette smell, was wafting up from downstairs, which was a unpleasant, but it is a hotel. Just a shame we could smell it in our room. We had a beautiful meal downstairs for 9 people and all thoroughly enjoyed it. All our lights blew, when my grandson went in to shower, but It was fixed promptly. Then immediately went out again, when turning on the bathroom light again. There was a fault with the switch and it was tripping everything. They were fixed again, but we were unable to use this switch. They said an electrician would come the next day. We showered and used the toilet in the dark, which was a little unsafe. We were given 2 x $25 dollar vouchers, but unfortunately they expire by 1/5, so doubtful they will be used. Perhaps a longer time frame would be more useful? All in all, it is a nice place for a night and the location was great for where we needed to be. One thing to consider is the live band which can be heard from the rooms, which could be a problem for some....

So disappointed with the room. There was an old chip or biscuit under my bed. The shower curtain had a long black hair on it. One face towel was stained with foundation. Then to top it off the curtain had several hooks broken that the morning sun was beaming through early morning! And because of Covid there is no buffet breakfast and you can only order off a menu. So the value isn’t there. Wouldn’t recommend paying for breakfast. So stay to say we were very disappointed with our stay!

A one-bedroom suite with sea view and pool view is set, but in fact, you can only see the sea by going to the terrace. What you see in the house is the guest room opposite... The room facilities are very complete, refrigerator, washer dryer, and jacuzzi. The kitchen has pots and utensils, and the stove is very convenient. There are many restaurants nearby and IGA supermarket is within walking distance.

We have just spent three nights here and will definitely do it again. Our lovely apartment was located within the Mantra complex and was just perfect for us. Suzanne met us in the lobby and introduced us to the amenities within the apartment (laundry, cooking etc). We were “wowed” by the sea view! Rob sent a number of texts with suggestions and special unique restaurant offers. We had the feeling that nothing was too much trouble - we only had to ask them. The apartments are a perfect base for exploring the Central Coast with the added advantage of having so many restaurants within walking distance. Finally, it was great to have plenty of excellent parking in the underground car park. Thanks Suzanne and Rob - friendly customer service makes a huge difference.

This unit is over-priced. We stayed in a double unit, the two of us, which is better suited to either 2 couples or 2 adults and 2 kids which would justify the price. Upstairs is almost a carbon copy of downstairs in that both have almost full kitchens (no ovens), excellent reverse cycle air conditioning, TV's etc. Other than a very old, very off carton of milk left in the fridge the unit was exceptionally clean. Upon arriving, we were asked to pay which we had already done when booking. Beware no refunds once booked although this didn't apply in our case. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and helpful. Had to ask for toilet paper and purchase milk as only two small milk thimbles in fridge. Expected to wash up, dry and put away dishes and utensils before leaving and remove all garbage. We usually do this anyway but I thought it was quite an ask to be expected at those prices. It's post-Covid so I am wondering if lack of staff is the reason for this and perhaps this may change in the future. No buffet or restaurant on site. No room service. Don't expect any meals. No foxtel as advertised. At least we couldn't get it but they did have Netflix provided. We took our chromecast with us, thank goodness! The pool is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. Maybe 25 metres? Also, in the afternoon a lot of it is shaded. It's not heated so it's pretty chilly even in late November. The beach is gorgeous but the room we had didn't have views and the units are in the street behind the main shops so whilst very close to the beach (a mere two minutes) it isn't overlooking the beach. Also, very tight carpark if you have a larger car. I would recommend the family unit or double unit for 3 to 4 people. Otherwise stick to a single unit. I probably would not return unless with another couple because there are nicer places with more amenities that don't expect you to do the housework at the same or even better prices.

Sunny aspect of our apartment kept our room naturally warm. Spent several afternoons sitting on the balcony planning outings in the local area. Just lovely. Light breakfast included in room price was nice. Family size fridge useful for longer stays. Would like to mention the BBQ area on level 2 was undercover and protected from the weather. Thank you to Elizabeth and her team for checking in with us to see if we needed anything.

Pros: We booked over the phone for a room the same day, and got a slightly discounted rate. We checked in after reception closed but we got our key and found our room easily. We appreciated the lovely complementary chocolate. The main room was clean, modern and fresh looking, and the kitchenette contained all you’d need to make a meal. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. The TV was huge & had plenty of channels. Over all it was fairly good value for an overnight stay. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool area but it looked really inviting. There seemed to be some good options for dining within walking distance, but as we had a car it was easy to drive around town. Cons: the bathroom could use an update. It was fairly clean, but was dated. There were signs of mould in places and somehow there was a small amount of water leaking from somewhere when the shower was used. The shower head was over a bathtub, which we dislike (especially my 6’4’ husband) because it feels pokey. They may have rooms with stand alone showers, so next time I would ask for this. I didn’t see a lift so if you have heavy luggage it might be better to ask for a lower room rather than lug it up flights of stairs. They require guests to empty their rubbish into the large bins downstairs- we didn’t realise this condition as it is listed in their check in paperwork, which we didn’t see or sign till checkout due to our late arrival. The staff said it was fine though which was nice of them.
