Top Moon River Beach Hotel Reviews

Coral Sands Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It's in a great location. Unit is very spacious, great for family. Close to shops and food outlets. Beach across the street. Highly recommended 👌😉"

Roydon Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible! The first word that comes to mind. We booked this location VERY last minute after our original accommodations were less than ideal and the property owner/manager Bradley was extremely accommodating and took the time to tour us through the room and property before check in and even allowed us to check in extremely early and last minute. We were very happy with our stay. The view was great and location even better as you are right off the beach. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the area!"

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location with balcony overlooking the ocean. Very clean and lots of space for all six of us. Washer and dryer was very helpful as it rained a lot during our stay."

Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Marina Waterfront was perfect for our stay in Cairns. There was plenty of room inside and out. Really happy about the secure parking behind a gate for our 4WD's. The outdoor area was fantastic, plenty of seating with a lovely view of the pool and marina. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, plates, utensils and pots and pans. Nice touches like condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper was appreciated, also the mozzie spay and candles. Washing machine and perfect undercover clothes line was also a bonus. Thanks for washing machine tabs :) Beds were comfy and the house was beautifully presented, clean and very tidy. It was a real pleasure to stay in a property so thoughtfully put together. We hope we can come back again soon."
