The place smelt like sewage really bad to the point we couldn’t sleep and went to the beach for the whole day to avoid having to be in our room The place was very dirty floors and like mud flicked up one wall where my kids were meant to sleep in The Dyer was broken and it was raining that day so that was another disappointment We told management and they didn’t offer us anything so another disappointment Would never stay there again it was sickening the smell

Lovely place to stay and great location. Lots of room inside the town houses. The only thing I can be picky on is the AC units need a good clean and there was some random cob webs. Otherwise everything was great.

Great deal

I can imagine a wide range of reactions to this resort. We got a very good deal on a spacious and comfortable townhouse. Our two night stay also qualified us for a $15 voucher for each night. These vouchers were valid in the restaurant and had no fine print disappointments. We only booked a one bedroom townhouse, but we had access to the complete unit. The townhouses are privately owned, so you have to put up with some slightly dodgy amenities. We were also visiting at a quiet time. There are only 10 townhouses, but 99 various units in the main resort area. The walk to the beach can be a challenge, and I imagine the pools are overflowing at busy times, but we had a great time.

The apartment was clean with a spacious balcony, all equipped kitchen, comfy beds. I like that there were more pools across the resort. I would have liked to find more bbq areas though. The resort is very close to the beach, only 5 min walk, and close to the town center, only 5 min drive.

Our apartment was not only very dirty, but felt old and worn out. The microwave didn’t work, the appliances were ancient and beds sagging. The size of the apartment was great, just a shame about the upkeep and presentation. The grounds were well cared for, but unfortunately the main pool area had something dead-smelling in its surrounds and the advertised ice cream and coffee in the restaurant was non existent. The location was fantastic for us, about the only thing going for it.

Dirty, smelly and too far from town

The room was not clean and smelly. When we arrived there were laundry bags piled in front of the room door which we had to moved and they remained there for two days (the housekeeping team must have forgot them). There was no hug in the room and we notified reception who said they would bring one over - they didn’t and we had to go again the next day and ask again. The clothes dryer did not work - we notified reception who sent maintenance but it did not work for the duration of our stay. The location of the property is about 1.6km from town which is inconvenient. Basically Rainbow beach is great but just wished we had stayed somewhere else.
