Excellent place to stay in Rainbow Bay
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. It included a washing machine, dishwasher, and all necessary kitchen utensils. The linens and pillows were spotlessly clean. The pillows and mattress had additional protective layers.
Mary greeted us upon arrival, and she was exceptionally kind.

We enjoyed our stay as it was close to the shopping precinct and we could walk to meals and the beautiful beach. The cleanliness of the facilities was a stand out for me.
Be aware there are stairs to the second story.
