Staying at the resort was an absolute delight. The check-in process was efficient and quick, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Although the reception was a bit tricky to locate initially, the hotel staff kindly directed me.
My room was spacious, well-furnished, and very comfortable, with a wonderful balcony view overlooking the resort grounds. Despite having read several negative reviews about this property, I believe those reviewers either had the misfortune of getting a room that didn't meet their expectations or are generally very critical of their hotel stays.
Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the resort, its location, and its facilities. I took a swim in the nearest pool, though there are three pools to choose from. The resort grounds are stunning, and I enjoyed a beautiful coastal walk from Charlesworth Bay Beach to Korora Beach and back.
There were plenty of activities and sights at the resort. I particularly loved the variety of native wildlife, including coastal birds and bush turkeys, as well as numerous coastal lizards. The resort is conveniently located just a few minutes north of a large shopping center (Park Beach Plaza) and other Coffs Harbour tourist attractions. The on-site restaurant seemed popular among guests.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Charlesworth Bay Beach Resort.
