What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment with a partial ocean view. The space was roomy and came equipped with a well-appointed kitchen that included everything I needed. From the dishwasher to the washing machine and dryer, it made my stay incredibly convenient. I also appreciated the ceiling fans and air conditioning in the central lounge, keeping the place comfortable during my visit.

Paradise on the Hotel

The pool and spa were absolutely good! After spending a day at the beach, I loved coming back to relax in the warm spa. It was well-maintained and the perfect retreat after a day of sun. The pool was small but clean, making it ideal for a quick dip. I spent numerous hours just lounging and enjoying the atmosphere.

Convenient Parking Available

The underground parking was a lifesaver for my visit—secure and accessible. I loved that the parking spaces could fit two cars, which is perfect for families. It felt safe knowing my vehicle was locked away while I enjoyed the attractions nearby. The added convenience of parking trolleys to transport my luggage to the apartment made check-in a breeze.

Entertainment at Home

I was pleasantly surprised by the entertainment options available in my apartment. The presence of Foxtel and Netflix made for cozy evenings in after a full day. I just logged into my account and was able to unwind with my favorite shows before bed. The comfort of the living area made it feel like home, which I truly appreciated.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, with spacious and clean apartments that felt like a home away from home. The pool area was lovely, perfect for a dip after a day at the beach. Shane and Susan really have made this place shine with their hard work. It's a little walk to the main shops and restaurants, but the peace and quiet made it worth it. Overall, it was great value for money, and I'd definitely return.

I had a wonderful time at Rainbow Bay Resort! The location is absolutely perfect, just a minute's walk to the beach and shops, and the resort itself is clean and beautifully maintained. The management, Shane and Susan, are truly amazing—so welcoming and helpful. While the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, the air conditioning could be better since it turns off after a couple of hours, which was a bit uncomfortable on warmer nights. Overall, I’m already looking forward to my next stay!

Our stay at the resort was a wonderful experience. The spacious apartments were clean and comfortable, with beautiful ocean views from the balcony. The warm pool and spa were highlights for our family, making it very enjoyable. However, the location, while quiet, required a bit of a walk to the main shops and restaurants, which might not suit everyone.

I was truly impressed with this resort. The room was spacious, clean, and offered stunning views, plus it was just a short walk to the beach and local cafes. The amenities were lovely, including a warm pool and spa, making it a perfect winter getaway. However, some areas felt a bit dated, so that's something to keep in mind. Overall, it's fantastic value for money given the location and amenities.
