1. Blue Lagoon Villa B

Trinity Beach, 2.4 km from Clifton Beach

"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Trinity Beach Club Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice, clean and comfortable stay. Great layout felt really homely and peaceful was a pure delight to stay there."

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."

Drift Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Great accommodation. We loved the pool. In a great location, lots of good cafes and restaurants on that end of the street + the palm tunnel. We did find the cutlery / plates etc quite dirty. However they provide washing detergent etc and a dishwasher. Great facilities otherwise - would definitely come back."
