Reviews for Moonlight Bay Resort
Review 1：Poor wifi connection, almost no signal in the apartment. Old and tired furnishings and facilities which need upgrading.
Review 2：Conveniently located within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Just 10 mins drive to the Sorrento Pier to catch the ferry to begin our GOR journey.
Review 3：Parking was difficult. Each unit had one off-street undercover parking bay but swinging and reversing in and out was difficult because of pillars, and impossible when obstructed by other guests parked in the 3 marked bays along the fence. Street parking has a 1 hour limit and is patrolled. Check it out in satellite view and negotiate your parking bay. Glass topped tables may be a problem for small children.
Review 4：Location and facilities were very good. One street back from the beach and carnival. Unit was comfortable and well equipped. A nice pool.
Review 5：The cleaner didnt come in one day so we had a full rubbish bin with ants lurking around. The photos make the place look nicer and bigger. Just enough hot water for 1 and a half hot showers.
Review 6：Pool area was nice. Great location. Free carparking.
Review 7：Internet doesn't work at all in our room Spiders web on cealings The 2 nd day of our stay, towels were changed but room and toylet was not cleaned, after we ask is room will be done and they said yes
Review 8：location and very large rooms
Review 9：I was kept waiting for 15 minutes at reception whilst receptionist was on phone. I had to ask for more towels as the new shower leaked all over floor.. Dirty stain on carpet from leaking shower! Bed very uncomfortable . I had to ask for the outdoor spa heating to be turned on, only it lasted for 30 minutes. Was not worth $285 per night. Child found used "pill " packet in top drawer in kids bedroom. No pool towels supplied! This was unacceptable. Not one offer to discount the room due to inconvienance!
Review 10：I found it on booking.com as a 4-star resort but it was a motel, pool looked great in the photos but ultimately it was an old motel pool
Review 11：Clean renovated spacious room, good air con, great location
Review 12：No fly wire on windows so cant open them and no privacy with the verticals. Rooms very noisy and can hear neighbour's through walls.
Review 13：Pool and spa were beautifully warm.
Review 14：The bed was firm.
Review 15：The heated pool was great in the cool air, and the staff were really friendly. The spa bath suite was spacious with a great spa n toiletries. There were plenty of pillows n the reverse cycle air con was great. Awesome location with allocated parking and a great Vulcano gelateria with home made gelatos that are a total must.
Review 16：Staff very friendly,close to everything,suited mine and my partners needs.Walk to the peir was orsum.Fish and chips yummy az,and gelati shop on the cnr excellent.
Review 17：Did not have any bad idea.
Review 18：My partner and I enjoyed our stay, it was quiet, peaceful and very accommodating. We suggested to our friends and will definitely be back for our next weekend away.
Review 19：I would have liked clean towels and a change of bed linen.
Review 20：A very spacious apartment with good facilities. The pool is lovely, especially the warm spa .
Review 21：Bed was a bit uncomfortable, neither my partner or myself slept very well. Couches also didn't facilitate "lounging" being quite rigid and uncomfortable. Also shower sprayed water everywhere and shower head very inappropriate for a walk in shower
Review 22：Loved that the pool was heated! Staff were lovely and very accommodating. We also got a free upgrade to a bigger room!
Review 23：The way the apartment can be looked into by any passer by unless you have the curtains closed which you don't want to do in the middle of the day. Interior of apartment felt quite grungy- the bathroom floors etc. Didn't like the way the apartment overlooked the pool and you couldn't see anything else other than the people in the pool. Advertised king.queen bed but it was actually two beds pushed together...
Review 24：Was a decent size was near the beach
Review 25：Parking was a little tight
Review 26：I loved that we were put in a comfortable sized apartment with a spa (something I wasn't expecting). The location was beautiful and handy. I loved the extra touch of candles.
Review 27：Lack of privacy (eg, there's a window above the external doorway perfectly positioned for the neighbour's view of our bathroom doorway as they leave for their day, some vertical blinds weren't repaired well which meant gaps in bedroom windows facing busy public walkways)
Review 28：Relaxed and approachable staff Awesome heated outdoor pool and spa, makes you wish you had one Free wi-fi
Review 29：The photos on the website made the room look much nicer. I was a bit disappointed when I got there and it made me feel like I didn't get good value for money. It was clean but very tired and there were old toilets discarded outside which you could clearly see. The shower also didn't have much pressure.
Review 30：The location was great and the staff were very friendly.
Review 31：We stayed in a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor. It was a comfortable stay. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The apartment was clean and close to shops and beaches. We enjoyed our stay at Moonlight Bay Resort and will recommend to friends and family.
Review 32：The staff were absolutely lovely. We were unable to attend the dates booked due to unfortunate family events they more than happy to help rebook for another weekend despite the cancellation policy.
Review 33：A bit weak connection of free wifi - but it is free, so I won't complain. (everything really was excellent)
Review 34：Friendly service and comfortable apartment, free car parking, location, value for money, privacy... Great!
Review 35：Single beds a tad hard but the main bed was amazing.
Review 36：Location is central for Main Street, pub, RSL (dancing on Thursday night with the locals was highlight of our trip) and just a short drive to Springs and Sorrento. Staff friendly and helpful.
Review 37：I did not get any sleep as there was a realy bad humming noise coming from a faulty split system
Review 38：I cant say that i liked my stay as i did not gat any sleep
Review 39：Only thing I can fault was the bed, little bit uncomfortable but it definitely didn't ruin the weekend.
Review 40：The size of the room, the huge spa bath and how clean and new it all was. The staff was amazing and so so helpful!
Review 41：Convenient location to beach and shops. Friendly staff and service. Our friends in another unit were given a heater promptly because their air conditioner was not working
Review 42：We stayed in the king spa suite where every room was huge. We only stayed for one night but the nights sleep was quiet and the bed was very comfy. Didn't get to use the spa bath but it looked lovely and big. Great to be able to walk to all the restaurants on the street
Review 43：The only improvement I think could be made is some new blinds in the rooms, as at times you could see through everyone's blinds.
Review 44：The location was fantastic. Right near the main shops in Rye but not right on the main road (so there is no noise) We went to Rye to visit the hot springs, and this hotel was very close (only a 5 minute drive)
Review 45：Although advertised as free wifi. There was hardly any signals in our room. We were compelled to use the mobile data throughout our stay.
Review 46：Located just next to Rye beach. Rye itself is a good location, right in the middle of mornington with easy access to wineries, spa etc.. We liked the room, bath with spa, kitchen was fully equipped.
Review 47：Wifi in room 17.
Review 48：Big bathroom, nice room, good parking space, very friendly owners (got an early check in + wanted to give us a bottle of wine because they forgot to clean the room) . We doesn't drink wine but it was a nice gesture
Review 49：Clean, comfy and spacious one bedroom apartment. One street back from Rye foreshore and pier. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definetly stay here again.
Review 50：The noise carries from other apartments quite readily, so you have to hope the people next door are quiet! Also no soap, no tea towels for drying dishes and not much toilet paper provided (Although I am sure you could ask for these things).
Review 51：It was only a short walk to restaurants and cafes and to a great playground. Our apartment was lovely & spacious.
Review 52：People coming up the stairs could see right into our room. .we had to keep the blinds half closed ...If staying there again I would request a ground floor room
Review 53：Very central today shops & beach and clean
Review 54：Bed was a little too stiff for my liking but that really didn't bother me that much.
Review 55：LOVED the location of the Hotel - extremely close to the beach & Rye Pier and small shops. Booked a standard room for my partners birthday over night stay at Rye (went to the peninsula hot springs) and was upgraded to King Spa Suite for free! Awesome!
Review 56：The owners were accomodating to a change in our booking that occured, due to a personal emergency that we had to attend to. The location was excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and quiet.
Review 57：Wifi wasn't good inside the house
Review 58：Location was awesome, guest profile was great mainly families. Felt like just staying in our own holiday house with a pool at the back yard
Review 59：The rooms are a bit Dated and the photos on the web site make it look a little nicer than it actually is.
Review 60：The location is good, rooms are clean and the bed is great.
Review 61：Due to unforeseen circumstances I amended my dates of stay to 20 Dec-22 Dec, 2 nights only. please note that this was fine with Moonlight Bay- I was only charged for the two day stay.
Review 62：Couple of slugs crawled into the bathroom from outside. A spider also made home in the bathroom.
Review 63：Received a complimentary upgrade to a larger room. The kitchen had everything we needed. Staff were lovely
Review 64：Very friendly staff - I mentioned we were staying for our 5th wedding anniversary and Abbie at the front desk offered a box of chocolates. Just a little thing but worth huge brownie points!!! Close to restaurants, supermarket and the beach. Lovely heated pool and spa too.
Review 65：Great pool, heated so great for a dip even in cooler with weather. Also allowed us to check in early which was much appreciated. Room was spotless when we checked in.
Review 66：virtually no hanging facilities in bathroom - towel rails etc not enough pots/cutlery
Review 67：comfort of apartment ease of doing laundry great staff closeness to beach shops within strolling distance centrally placed for touring
Review 68：Because my room was away from reception I couldn't get wifi in my room. I was able to access it in all other areas of the complex.
Review 69：The pool was heated and very enjoyable despite it only being spring.
Review 70：it was close to the hot springs and gunamatta horse riding. great local italian restaurant in walking distance. In the morning we had a beautiful walk to the jetty which had a great view of the Peninsula.
Review 71：Not long enough. Did not want to leave!
Review 72：Loved the owners and managers. None could have been more helpful, friendly or obliging. We would love to come and stay again.
Review 73：The balcony isn't a balcony at all, it's a mere landing
Review 74：The heated pool and spa, especially for the cooker months. Very good location, opposite beach and very large park for children, close to all restaurants
Review 75：Was disappointed with the inside of our apartment. Needs a good paint/ refurbished and quality utensils in kitchen. Was booked in for 2 nights and stayed for 1.
Review 76：The location was good. Nice and handy for shops restuarants and the water. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Review 77：We had lights in our room that didn't work and also had a non working fridge, this was fixed quickly though. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and we both had poor nights sleep.
Review 78：Moonlight bay was in a great location, easy walk to the shops and pier. The spa in the bathroom was lovely and filled quickly.
Review 79：My mother & I both found the rooms extremely clean. On arrival we both found the staff polite & very helpful. We'd both recommend anyone to stay.
Review 80：The manager was very helpful and pleasant. The rooms were very clean and there was a good level of service which is not always offered for appartments. There is off road parking and a nice pool area. There is also a free laundry and wi-fi.
Review 81：We have stayed several times in great rooms. However on this stay we were given a very average room with a leaking shower and was no where near as nice as our last stay. It was very loud and we could hear our neighbours talking all night. So out of four stays here only one has been disappointing. Next time I'll ask for the nicer room.
Review 82：Location is great if your are in Rye for the springs or scenic drives
Review 83：The wifi wasn't the best. Didn't work on phones just laptops.
Review 84：The lady had the heater on and ready for when we arrived so the room was warm, which was great on a freezing winter night.
Review 85：Only there a few of days in winter, no complaints.
Review 86：Location to shops and clubs etc. very good. Ideal summer type holiday for families re. beach proximity.
Review 87：Blinds.. doesnt do the job.. people can see inside because the blinds arnt secured had alot of gaps people can see through
Review 88：Where the resort was located, nice and clean rooms
Review 89：I have to say that doesn't worth the price at all .No decorations shows in the picture , real dark light inside of the room ,especially the quilt is so hard so that I can't sleep well. I've been traveling to so many places and never gave one "bad" to any hotel , but this was making me so disappointed while the manager open the room door with the key , no lift , dirty bath tub and cups , TV doesn't work properly and I can exactly here what was going on next door .its just really really so different from how the photos look like .
