Top Moon River Beach Hotel Reviews

Trinity Collective

10/10 Excellent

"Everything. Staff were super friendly, clean modern amenities. Faultless stay definitely will stay again. 10/10!!"

Amaroo at Trinity

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place, quiet area fantastic location"

Trinity Waters

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and on a beautiful beach! Not too far from Cairns but far enough away to avoid the traffic and crowds. You can hear the surf at night and wake up to amazing sunrises."

Coral Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"What a sensational resort! The location was amazing with the beach just over the road. The bars and restaurants were within a very short walk but we didn’t hear a thing from these locations at night. The pool area and gardens were beautiful. My only concern was with the servicing of the room. We stayed for 3 weeks and while the towels and linen were changed weekly, the bathroom, kitchen, floors and toilets were not cleaned in that time. There were no cleaning products left in the rooms so I couldn’t do it myself. It was the only disappointment as the rest of the accommodation was wonderful."

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was huge and had everything we needed for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being close to the pool. We would definitely stay here again. I have one comment. Not related to the accommodation but more for Expedia. They listed our room but didn’t specify that you need to recommend a type of room you want even though when we booked it was pictures on a higher floor with ocean views but we put on ground level next to the pool area. Again, not a fault of the seachange but Expedia. They need to correct this for future."

On the Beach Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with ocean views. Spacious apartment with plenty of amenities. Parking was really handy and coming in and out of the complex was great. Frontal ocean views is magic ok the morning"

The York Beachfront Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"extremely clean and quite."

Vue Apartments Trinity Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This unit was everything that you would expect - very comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed - just as we expected from such an expensive unit. The only thing that wasn’t great was the poor access to the beach front."

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."
