What guests think

Travellers describe The Med Crescent Head as a walkable base near the beach and town, with clean, comfortable, often spacious rooms and a relaxed pool and BBQ vibe, suiting quick stopovers and casual getaways.

Staff are frequently praised for friendliness and help, though several note limited reception hours and reduced on-site presence. Common drawbacks include unreliable Wi-Fi or TV, light leakage affecting sleep, occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses, and pricing that some felt high for the standard. Expect a laid-back, convenient stay with simple comforts more than full-service amenities.

Geweldig hotel aan het begin van het stadje. Mooie entree, met eigen parkeerplaats. Kamer is heerlijk met een groot bed. Zelfs complementary snacks en drinken. Heerlijk zwembad. Eetgelegenheden zijn op loopafstand, je kan de auto thuislaten. Strand eveneens vlak bij. Kortom geweldig

Only stopped the night but would be great spot for young family for a week stay or so. Lovely BBQ area and pool and within short walk to beach and town. A little pricey though.

We had a very comfortable stay at The Med. It is within walking distance of everything. The decor is modern and the room very spacious. There was a lovely pool and bbq area and a Mexican restaurant attached. The only drawback (which was not a problem) was limited TV channels. All in all, we would stay again.

Absolutely love staying here, we will be back later in the year. However could I please kindly ask/suggest that the entertaining area be cleaned. The furniture and flooring has quite a build up of dirt. It would feel much better if it had a pressure clean, even the outside walls :) otherwise amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Med. It’s beautiful, clean and walkable distance to grocery store/cafes and restaurants. We were running late and had to do after hours check in and the receptionist staff was very accommodating on the phone. The after hours check in was super easy! Will definitely be coming back to the Med and stay longer next time.

The hotel is tired and the toilet gurgled and spat all night, toilet seat broken. Front door lock broken, cockroaches, large spider, and bugs in the room. If you like sleep don't bother, the very bright outside lights and poor curtains meant you could read a book with the lights out. No table and chairs inside so you could only sit on the bed even though room was quite large. Office hours 9 to 5 so we were not able to speak to anyone about our concerns.

The property is currently doing some updates and renovations with plans to add a spa. The self contained Villa is lovely and well furnished. Our room was very large and spacious. Well appointed with iron, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, toaster. Loads of large fluffy towels. The staff were amazing and friendly. I would recommend The Med for short or long stays.

Parts of the room need a little attention. Roof repair, door handle repair, need a bathroom exhaust fan, ceiling fan in room would be good. A little overpriced

We checked in on a Sunday and there was no staff at reception until 1pm! Got the vibe this place is run with only profit in mind by investors who are very far away. Only one cleaner had to clean the entire hotel, she was lovely and working very hard but they need more staff. That said, it's spectacular to look at. Very stylish. Just didn't feel like there was any customer service available on site.
