Frommer's Review

If you're looking for absolute beach frontage, this is it. The only high-rise along Perth's Indian Ocean coast, the Rendezvous has superb views up and down Scarborough's long sandy beach. A surf lifesaving club, beach amphitheater, children's playground, and part of the coastal bike/walking track are right there. Surfing lessons and bike hire are available, and the Australian Life Saving Championships will be here mid-March 2009. The hotel's no-fuss ambience makes it popular with vacationers from around the world and families. Most of the rooms, refurbished in 2004, have private balconies with ocean views; some are interconnected. Bed configurations are king-size, queen-size plus single, or two doubles. The suites have prime position on the top floors with spacious balconies. It has the largest hotel gym in Perth (refitted in mid-2006), and a large pool area with palm trees and a waterfall -- sheltered from the sea breeze. The hotel may be closing for renovation some time after mid-2009.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; cafe; 3 bars (1 British pub-style); heated outdoor pool; children's wading pool; 2 outdoor day/night tennis courts; fitness center and steam rooms; spa; Jacuzzi; limited watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; daily courtesy shuttle btw. hotel, Perth city, Fremantle, and local mall; business center; salon; room service; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms top 3 floors

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
