My stay at Moonlight Bay Apartments was truly delightful. The spacious and clean room I had was a standout feature, and the location was perfect, just a short walk to the Rye Pier and beach. The service provided was exceptional, making my visit even more enjoyable. However, I did find the lack of a lift a minor inconvenience, especially for those with heavy luggage. Overall, the experience was great value for money, and I can't wait to return.

I had a fantastic experience at the resort, especially due to its amazing location that was just a short walk from the beach and numerous cafes. The apartment was clean and well-kept, with daily fresh towels. However, the noise from families at the pool area made it a bit challenging to relax, and the lack of air conditioning in the bedroom was tough during hot nights. Overall, great value for the money considering the amenities and service provided.

The pool area was adequate, but if you're looking for a quiet swim, it might not be the best choice due to noise from children.

I had a fantastic stay for our anniversary at this lovely resort. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to help us celebrate, and the room was modern and spotlessly clean. However, a concern about noise from the outside exhaust duct did detract from the tranquility at times. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better location with everything we needed just a short walk away.
