Top Moon River Beach Hotel Reviews

Coral Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"Only downside was the lack of lifts to the 3rd floor and no staff to assist with our big luggage. Also charging extra for pool towels for a beachside location was a little disappointing. Otherwise the apartment was spacious and a good view."

Blue Lagoon Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly and helpful staff and the patio at the pool was a bonus. The downside was no usb charging outlets and I was not offered the free bottle of wine as mentioned in the booking description."

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

8/10 Good

"We thought the air-con was extremely noisy and woke us up several times overnight, this was for bedroom 2 & 3 only as the guests in bedroom 1 could not hear this. Beach view was awesome and could not fault. We met the staff the morning after we’d checked in and they professional, courteous and helpful. The room was clean and adequately presented. The wifi box had trailing wires and was in a position where the lights were impeding our slumber. Overall, we thought the apartment was very good."

Trinity Collective

10/10 Excellent

"I was sad to leave. The property was nice, clean, safe, quiet. The room was comfortable and had everything needed. The staff was helpful and friendly. I regularly saw kangaroos and birds from the balcony. There is a bus stop ~7min walk away. I have only positive things to say about my stay here."
