Friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere! Kids loved hanging out in the pool/spa. Pool and bbq area was nice, clean and well maintained. Rooms were clean and spacious with everything you could need! Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, large fridge, utensils, crockery, plastics, and cookware! Felt like home for the stay! Recommended.

Very good accomodation, even though we arrived outside the office hours the resort managers came out to welcome us. Thanks! The rooms are huge with full kitchen and laundry and 3 dining tables, 2 outside on the enormous deck. The spa/pool was very nice especially the spa. Did I mention the sauna? What a great way to finish the day. Overall very happy. Will come again.

Our apartment was next to a construction site and they started work at 6.00 in the morning and the noise from that site was horrendous. Had a headache every time they worked. Could not recommend this place to anyone while site is being built. They haven’t even started the building yet still working on foundations

Kylie and Brendan, the managers, couldn't have been more helpful or nicer. Their responses were always quick and accurate. The resort is close to two shopping centres and has many options for dinner, coffee or walk along the beach or walkway. The room were large and tastefully decorated. Love our stay even though there was a bit of building noise next door. But building everywhere on Gold Coast! Thank you Kylie and Brendan

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing due to cleanliness issues. Many items in the kitchen didn’t appear to be properly cleaned, which made it uncomfortable to use. Basic supplies were also lacking — only two rolls of toilet paper, one bin liner, and no essentials like salt or pepper were provided. On top of that, the 9am checkout felt unnecessarily early compared to the standard 10am most accommodations offer. Overall, the stay didn’t meet expectations and could be improved with better attention to detail and guest convenience.

Absolutely loved our stay at Rainbow Bay Resort. The location is incredible — not far from the beach and could still see the surfer line-up from our side apartment. It has a very relaxed and a peaceful vibe. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with everything we needed. The facilities were fantastic, especially the pool and outdoor areas. Everything felt well looked after, and it made for a truly relaxing stay. Checking in and out was quick and easy, and the owners are super nice and helpful. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!
