1. Blue Lagoon Villa B

Trinity Beach, 2.4 km from Clifton Beach

"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Coral Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"We liked our stay at the coral sand resort. The kids loved the pool. It was quiet during the night what I very much appreciated. The resort looked like advertised and the room was spacious. I would have preferred 1 more set of towels as 1 towel per person wasn't enough for 6 night stay and the balcony need a bit of a clean, buf otherwise we very much enjoyed our stay."
