I had a fantastic experience at Muri Beach Resort, which truly exceeded my expectations! The location is perfect, right by a beautiful beach, and the staff went out of their way to help us settle in comfortably. We enjoyed the clean and spacious apartment, loaded with amenities. However, some initial cleanliness issues in the room and the challenges I faced while booking directly through the resort slightly marred my experience. Overall, I'm already planning to return!

Muri Beach Resort is a truly delightful place with stunning views and a laid-back vibe. I loved how clean and comfortable everything was, especially the rooms that felt more like an efficiency apartment. The staff were amazing, making our stay even better. However, I did notice that the poor little cat needs some attention, which was a bit of a downside for me. Overall, this resort is excellent value for money, especially with its convenient location close to local attractions and dining options.

My stay at Muri Beach Resort was filled with both beautiful moments and some challenges. The setting is absolutely magical, perfect for gatherings like weddings, and the staff showed incredible support and friendliness. However, the condition of my room left much to be desired, feeling quite dated with some maintenance issues. The pool area was fantastic and a great perk of the location, but the room's shortcomings made the overall value feel a bit lacking.

We had a mix of experiences during our stay. The location is beautiful, right by the beach, and the hotel has a lovely garden and pool area. However, our relaxation was interrupted by loud parties outside our room and frustrating room changes due to administrative issues. While we received good service from the cleaning staff, the overall management communication left us stressed.
