We booked on the beach holiday apartments and were shuffled to another lot of apartments to blocks up that weren’t on the beach holiday apartments for a start and it was awful so the pictures I saw on Expedia were not the place where we stayed. We checked out a night early and paid for it anyway because we couldn’t stand it any more. The large double bed is not a large double bed. It is a double bed.. the floor was so dirty my feet were black walking from the lounge to the bathroom so we had to wash the floor twice and black water went down the bath tub and the loo. My husband went and bought dishwashing liquid and paper towel and we washed the grime of the windows onto the balcony that I couldn’t open the door. Anyway it was too stiff. It wasn’t just ray. I’ve lived on the coast all my life it was black scum that we got off the door so whether it wasn’t clean properly or nobody’s been in that unit for a long time I don’t know but we felt grubby and dirty we bought also room freshener spray. There was a chemical residue smell in the room anyway we decided on the lsecond last day. We had had enough packed our car up in an hour put the key in the box and left at 4 pm the day before we were supposed to leave. No I wouldn’t recommend staying there unless you were actually in on the beach holiday apartments which we were not.

Utterly disappointed in the condition of the apartment. Blinds broken or not even on the window. Mattresses extremely old and uncomfortable. No security screen on the kitchen window. A child could fall out and two storeys down. Two screen doors missing on the sliding doors. Minimum linen. I went to ask for extra towels and told they are limited and count what we take (ridiculous). Wardrobes wheels are broken and don’t slide. The outdoor furniture is the cheapest plastic type you can buy from Bunnings. I don’t know how this property has a four star rating. The lady at reception from Spain was extremely rude and honestly not interested in being helpful. Everything was a bother to her. Will never stay here again. Location is however amazing. The restaurants around are delicious. Beach is beautiful.

Disappointed with my stay. Spent so much money and travelled from far to find the room did not have an ocean view as shown in the pictures. It was blocked. I was on the ground floor, and the patio door lock was broken. I reported the security concern to the management and they did not see the need to address it. The WiFi was poor and flaky. The hot water dropped out two minutes into the shower, and the stove needs fixing. The shower head flopped. The rooms were not soundproofed as advertised and there was much noise during the night from the flat above. Also have to read the fine print for this accommodation. It’s not a typical Expedia booking; and payment is collected at the hotel directly, which means you pay a deposit and then the hotel keeps asking you for money. Trinity beach itself is nice and the location was good. The apartment needs maintenance and upgrades.

This property is in a lovely area overlooking the sea. The 1br apartment we stayed in was a bit tired but that was fine for us. All the kitchen and laundry appliances worked fine and were clean. The main concern was security as one of the balcony doors didn't lock. We did report this to management (an older guy) but there was no repair or follow up communication in the 4 to 5 days we stayed after reporting it, apart from an initial assurance that someone would come to fix it. We found a way of securing it with a leather belt as a precaution while we slept. One other suggestion would be to deep clean the couch as it was pretty smelly. Apart from these it was great base for exploring the area and relaxing at the beach.
