Palm Cove, 6.5 km from Moon River Beach

"Spent an overnight during peak tourist season. It's a nice resort, about 20 years old with some, but not excessive wear, for its age. Excellent location, excellent property layout with beach access. Room was very good. Buffet breakfast was very good. Free underground parking. My only disappointment was that I booked anticipating use of the outside spa tub but it was closed for some reason (there is a room spa tub, but too confined for me)."

Top Moon River Beach Hotel Reviews

Trinity Waters

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for exploring the area. Glad we had a rental car. Gorgeous view from balcony. Great café options. Plenty of space to relax"

Beachfront Apartments on Trinity Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay and relax with an awesome view of Trinity Bay. I slept most nights with sliding glass door open so I could hear the gentle waves crashing on the shore. The host was amazing and offered insights into things to do while local and traveling. The ocean forecast that was provided helped me decide on which day to go visit the Great Barrier Reef. Highly recommend this place and area for anyone who wants to be near everything but just far enough away to enjoy quiet nights and the stars."
