"This place has become our regular relaxation getaway destination. Amazing staff and swim up bar at the lagoon pool is a great plus. Lots of good running tracks for early morning runs or even just along the amazing beach early morning. Just get there and experience it for yourself. I loved that one of the staff remembered me from last year. Showed he cared and enjoyed our previous interactions. "

"This place was perfect. We had a top floor ocean view, and I would not do that differently. The pool was beautiful, the view was beautiful. It was mostly very quiet. There was an easily walkable path along the beach, really lovely. Everything you needed in the apartment was there and it’s easy to get to the little supermarket nearby. We did have a car, of course, and parking was perfect and easy. We were on the fourth floor, and there was a very handy elevator. Everything was super comfortable, the air-conditioning was beautiful. We did have an electrical problem that knocked out half of the outlets and appliances, which happened on the last weekend that we were there, but it barely bothered us. We still had one Air conditioner, which kept the apartment comfortable. We did lose the ability to cook in our apartment, but refrigerator had not been affected. But half of the electric outlets were out. This was fixed the day before we left. I’m sure it could’ve been repaired on Saturday But the owners said they would call someone on Monday. And no compensation was offered for our inconvenience for the 3 days without power. But that’s one of those things that can just happen. I would rent this place again, in a minute! "

"Comfortable, clean, quiet and well-equipped property. Courteous, friendly and helpful reception staff. "

"Coral Sands Resort is perfect for a family getaway, it's right on the Esplanade giving access to the beach and local restaurants. Some small updates to the rooms would benefit those wanting to stay, such as updated shower head, the dryer is too close to the washing machine making loading difficult, and the dishwasher was too big for the space blocking a cupboard door. Outside of these small things the apartment was a great layout and was perfect to take my teenage girls. Giving them their own bathroom and toilet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And we loved the pool. "

"Staying at Blue Lagoon Resort was a lovely, relaxed and enjoyable holiday experience. Brilliantly located a few minutes walk from town centre, beach, restaurants and convenience store. We loved the three swimming pool options and the relaxed, casual atmosphere. Lovely staff were there when needed, otherwise a hands off, self-care approach in the apartments which are not serviced. Simple, nicely appointed apartment. A couple things in the apartment were a bit old, but nothing to worry about and well priced. Loved it and would stay again for sure. "

"Excellent location with view of the beach, large spacious apartments, clean and tidy, however they are starting to look abit dated, But don’t let this put you off, it’s a great place to stay. Pool was lovely and warm. Reception very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return. "

"Absolutely love our stay definitely will stay there again!"

"Everything was well managed. The snorkelling was great with a good variety of fish and corals. We were able to swim with the turtles too. I am 77 and had no problem with any aspect of this experience. We also went to Green Island and I preferred Fitzroy. "

"Lovely large room. Close to beach and places to eat. Would stay again."
