Muri Beachcomber

Muri Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay in early October. The sea view rooms are well positioned for views but also catch the prevailing SE winds at that time of year. The rooms are spacious with comfortable bed and kitchenette. The pool is sheltered so is lovely to sit around but is unheated so too cold for us (at this time of year)."

"We had a lagoon room - which was awesome! Amazing views. Well worth the extra $$. The room was basic - but clean. Breakfast was good - you could order cooked breakfast/coffees at an extra cost if you wanted. Food in general restaurant was good. Also ate at the Spahetti house - service was excellent and food was great. Plenty going on! Pool was awesome for our 12year old to play in - busy at times, but that's to be expected as its a large resort! Staff were great too!"
