The staff were friendly and attentive which added to the experience. There was only one blemish and it pains me to say but I must bring it up as I intend on returning one day soon. We booked a room with a private spa but the spa wasn't working so it was a bit of a let down. Despite this I didn't hesitate to give it a 5 star rating. Look forward to returning to returning to beautiful Trinity beach asap 🙂❤️ Reviewed on Jan 19, 2026 Don't see what you're looking for?
