We stayed at Muri Beach Resort from 17th March-24th March. We had our wedding on the 20th March. This resort was perfect for us, we have two daughters aged 11 & 8 and our family & friends also stayed here. Our family stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment very close to the pool & cafe, it was exactly what we... More

If you are looking for a comfortable resort where the guest is the priority look no further than Muri Beach Resort. It is located on the Muri Lagoon with 1-2 bedroom groundlevel bungalows which are self-contained either facing the pool, the lagoon or the tropical gardens. The Australian owners and local staff look after their guests superbly...you become one of... More

We arrived late at night and were upgraded to a beach front room upstairs as a wedding was being held at the next property near the garden room we had booked. This was very thoughtful of management. The next day we were transferred to a downstairs beachfront room close to the restaurant. The staff had noticed my husband had a... More

We stayed for 8 nights over Christmas this year. We had to move to another type of unit for the last 3 nights so this review covers the 2 bedroom unit (first 5 nights) and the larger studio unit (last 3). The 2 bedroom was much better for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Our oldest boy was... More

We recently had a family holiday at Muri Beach Resort and really enjoyed it. It is really well set up for families or groups of families and friends. The location is awesome, so close to the beach and an easy walk to lots of restaurants. We stayed in two different rooms. The first one by the pool had a great... More

We will definitely be returning to Muri Beach Resort. We loved the closeness to the beach, the beautiful park like surroundings, the fantastic villas which had everything needed and were tastefully decorated, the fabulous pool area and the lovely staff.

We recently spent our honeymoon at muri beach resort. We got a free upgrade to an awsome room close to the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable. The grounds were so beautiful and the location is perfect. We made good use of the snorkling equipment, reef shoes and kayaks which were all in great condition. The pool was... More
