Ingenia Holidays One Mile Beach

8/10 Good
"We hired the budget cabin. It was well presented and the double bed was comfortable. The only negative is the bunk beds were tiny. We had our 12 year old who is not on the tall side and he just fit in the bed. The resort had lots of options for kids, and the staff were very nice. A great place for families."
