Great location close to city, dining options, transport, casino and Mindil beach all within walking distance. We did not stay during peak of tourist season and it was noisy - other guests slamming doors, making noise late at night, yelling in communal areas - can’t imagine when party crowd arrives. Clean but tired facilities. Beds pretty hard.

Why don’t they heat their pools. Never saw a single person in it or the freezing spa. Great location. We were able to walk to the city, botanical gardens, Mindil market, museum and of course a choice of dining a five minute walk away. As always the sunsets re great. If I went again I’d try to get an apartment higher than the ground floor for a bit of a vie.

We have stayed at this property numerous times & have enjoyed it due to parking, ease of navigation & close proximity to the CBD & cullen bay dining options. Also casino is a walkable distance as is the mindl markets. The property is unfortunately showing its age & the unit we had, even thought it had an awesome marina view, just needed some TLC. Couldn’t fault the staff, not their willingness to help (via directions, help within the facility & overall friendliness).

Our stay at Cullen Bay Resort was both enjoyable and relaxing. It is located in an area which is convenient for dining, public transport and walking tracks. The only downside was the firmness of the bed in our apartment. Unfortunately, it is difficult to provide a bed that suits everyone’s tastes.
