8.8/10 Excellent! (777 reviews)
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I booked a 1 bed apartment which was very spacious, generously equipped in the kitchen with a lovely bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Everywhere was nice and clean, staff were friendly and helpful...especially with luggage and my apartment was on third floor and there isn't any lifts. Trinity Beach is a beautiful location and the resort is perfectly positioned for all amenities and just across the road from a stunning beach.

8/10 Very Good! (14 reviews)
Loved the location and views. General cleanliness good but a little more attention to detail required. Main bed very comfortable. The fittings in the apartment however are tired and need updating. No wire door to balcony. Hairdryer did not work.
