Centrally located Byron close to shops and restaurants. Approx 5 minute walk to the beach. Appartments have everything needed for self catering. Large open balcony to kick back on. The only down side was noisy construction on a site nearby. Had no idea that was happening. Only a problem when you are out on the balcony. Would stay there again if visiting Byron again.

9/10 Wonderful! (566 reviews)

The apartment has a gorgeous beach view and great balcony. I really liked the black out curtains, furnishings and Foxtel options. The apartment was cute and nice, but I found some things slightly annoying. There was no doona on the bed, only a sheet, which was not ideal being that it's winter. I was provided an extra blanket and heater, after I reported my concerns to reception. I found reception to be very caring and thoughtful. The dishes in the kitchen were not cleaned properly, so I had to pre-wash everything before use. Lastly, there was a lot of loud noises coming from other apartments, especially washing machine noises from early morning. I did not sleep the best in the apartment. Make sure to wear good ear plugs if you're a light sleeper!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (214 reviews)

Wow! Such an amazing and tranquil stay for just the one night. The staff are professional and informative, the resort feels quiet and safe and I absolutely love how many available facilities there was. I would have loved to see the beach club bar open even in winter as the sunset was stunning and our shower and toilet rooms had visible black mould on the ceilings which was a bit concerning. The bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan which I think would go a long way. Other than this, I would definitely come back for a long stay.
