Don Pancho Beach Resort

Our room was nice overlooking the beach. The complex was under construction/renovation at the time of our stay. Pool and spa area was not usable due to this. Will be amazing when renovations are completed. Highly recommend staying here

The unit was quite small. The pool was closed for renovation

Really liked the spa and pool, especially the fact that it was salt water. Location was great, being able to walk down the stairs to the beach. They offered free bike hire and free paddle board hire. A few negatives were when we arrived we discovered that the resort was under construction which was not mentioned when booking. We then had to navigate our way around scaffolding in a small parking lot. There was a hole in the cememt which the scaffoling was not containing properly and the front wheel of my tire went over the edge as i was trying to reverse park into a very small space. Then when i finally did park, the car next to me could not open their door. When we could not figure out where to park because it was not clearly signed we went back to ask the recrptionists who acted as if we were dumb and unimportant she did not offer any help and was abrupt. When i put a complaint in about her, the next day when we went to reception to ask to hire some equiptment she confronted us and asked why we said she was rude , then complianed to us that she had gotten in trouble with her boss due to our complaint. This made us very uncomfortable and not want to come back to this place ever again. The rooms were also very small and not what was pictured online when booking also very outdated. There was no lift which made it hard to carry luggage upstairs. One positive was that from thursday onwards there was two lovely receptionists at the desk who made up for the rude one.

Spacious 1 bedroom unit for the night. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Resort gradually being renovated, so starting to look fresh. Lovely pool. Walk straight down onto Kellys Beach.

Booked a poolside apartment but arrived to find I was next to a construction site. Workers and heavy machinery going from 7.30 to 4 working on the pool and their adjacent units. So much for a relaxing holiday. The scaffolding was 2.5m from my “poolside” entrance. No notice or apology offered for my booking

It's an old motel undergoing renovation. Our room was small but had everything we needed & was very clean with a comfortable bed. The room was well set up with a good size fridge/freezer, 2 hotplates, a small kitchen with cookwear, plates, dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, wine glasses, etc. We had a small balcony and a 10/10 ocean view. The parking was a little awkward due to our vehicle being over the 2 metre carpark entry because of kayak roof racks & we had to drive in a tight space around the buildings to enter the carpark from the back. The open carpark was full, so we couldn't park there. It's doable, but just a little awkward. It wouldn't be a problem getting into the carpark if your vehicle is under the 2 metre height restriction. We would definitely stay again. Good value for the price. Other accommodation in that area is very expensive. A couple of hooks on the inside of the bathroom door would be most helpful for hanging clothes while you shower.

The ocean view studio is perfect - sitting right over the beach and with a little kitchenette. It’s an older resort but they keep it well maintained. The pool has beautiful day beds and tables so you can relax after a day at the beach! They don’t do turtle friendly lighting though, which was surprising given the location. Other hotels on the beach have a lights-out policy but ours was brightly lit all night. But the staff are super friendly and it's a short walk to Bargara main street, so it's hard to beat!

Basic accommodation comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, the bed was comfortable, the room had great ocean views, with direct beach access the car park has height restrictions

Parts of the property are under construction Pool closed building under repair. This was not mentioned when booking via Hotels.com. Would have booked elsewhere if notified. Staff were very friendly. Will look to site website for future bookings. The location was great.

Nice to see the newly renovated pool finished.

Clean room. Quiet atmosphere

Room was old and dated. Bathroom was very dirty especially the tiled floor. No bedside table. Bed was comfortable and the location is good.

Older property and our room looked updated with the exception of the bathroom. Rusted toilet paper holder, toilet smelled like backed up sewer. Mirror and vanity really old. We loved the view of the ocean/beach from the balcony. We had a ocean view studio and it was very small, but the view made up for it. Floor was tiled and seemed/felt dirty, so did not want to walk barefoot in the room. The bed was comfortable and linens were good. Quiet place and overall we enjoyed our stay. We did not use the pool or game room.

Half the property was under construction so our views were scaffolding. Room had a dead cockroach when we walked in and lots of dust.

Lovely property directly on the beach. Clean, comfortable rooms. Very professional, helpful staff.

The hotel was terrific although a little dated. Rooms were clean and tidy and equipped well. Would stay again.

Nice rooms , clean & had everything we needed. Ocean room had wonderful views.

Small room, but clean and the air conditioning was excellent

Don Pancho is in a great location with easy access to the beach. We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment which had recently been renovated and it was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The staff were lovely and acted quickly to fix a blocked vanity.

Rooms were small and somewhat dated, but the location was incredible and the views spectacular. No daily maid service.

Fantastic location. Staff very communicative and helpful. Room quite small but good balcony looking over beach. Property a bit tired.

Room is clean, on small side. Large balcony/patio on pool side. No kitchen (Kettle only). Queen bed, comfy!

Room had a funky smell. Food left in the cupboards. Wifi didn’t work in the room. Lady at check in was like it was her first day.

The 3 bedroom unit was very spacious with ample room for the family. The balcony was a lovely place to sit and relax while listening to the ocean. So close to the beach! We have stayed a couple of times and will stay again next time we are in town.

Room was clean, bed as comfortable and ocean view was excellent. Internet was a little slow at times but ok.

Stayed in the 3brm executive room and it was perfect! Newly renovated and a perfect home away from home. We were so comfortable in this space. It was beautifully presented, clean, and our entertaining area overlooking the pool was amazing. The shared area overlooking the beach was amazing!

Amazing views, room was a little small.

Ocean view apartments were beautiful

Small room, but clean and the air conditioning was excellent

Beautiful location, clean room, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We used many of their recommendations and had a fantastic time in Bargara and Bundaberg!

Fantastic location. Staff very communicative and helpful. Room quite small but good balcony looking over beach. Property a bit tired.

Awesome service. Staff were very freindly. Will go back again.

Management very supportive of a special request which they fulfilled.

The property was under renovations so pool off limits and access restricted. Room was clean well appointed and spacious. Service was good, people skills could use a polish.

Friendly staff, great views

Don Pancho is in a premium location. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and will be very impressive when finished. It was comfortable, good room sizes and we enjoyed a wonderful beach view. We even spotted a few whales from our balcony! The staff were all very friendly and attentive. When I visit the area in the future, I would happily stay at Don Pancho again.

Nice location.

Well located. Right on the beach. Whales were visible from the property.

Wonderful location, spectacular ocean view from balcony, beach right on the doorsteps.

Loved being so close to the beach

Close to the beach and the cafes and restaurants.

Close to the beach,everything walkable

Beach front with direct access to swimming areas. Close to golf club and walk to town. Bed comfortable and resort quiet.
