Spotless and Functional

The bathrooms were very clean and equipped with the essentials, including a hair dryer. The main bathroom even had a washing machine and dryer, which was a huge convenience during our stay. I appreciated the full functionality of these spaces.

9.2/10

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.
