This isn’t my usual kind of review, but my weekend stay at
@thecalilehotel was so good that I had to share! I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I’d heard in the past that the staff could be a bit pretentious but that wasn’t the case at all. From Emily at the front desk, who I saw at check-in and check-out, to the pool staff, everyone was so friendly and welcoming.
I stayed in a pool room with a stunning view over the entire area, but what really stood out was the food and drinks by the pool. The zucchini chips from
@hellenika were, as always, next-level (if you know, you know), and the tuna crispy rice from
@sushi___room was just perfection. With reasonable food and cocktail prices and a DJ setting the vibe, it was an experience in itself and I wish I had more time by the pool…but hot tip: if you’re there on a weekend, get down there early to get a spot.
Breakfast the next morning was to
@hellenika for my favourite breakfast in Brisbane: Eggs with Eggs with Eggs. The taramasalata was silky smooth, and the jammy eggs paired perfectly.
Honestly, I couldn’t fault a thing and i’m already looking forward to my next stay!
