This property looked beautiful online and had good general reviews and hence we booked it for our last trip.
Following are the areas of concern that one should consider before planning to stay here -
1 - Rooms are very old and not very well kept. They are in a desperate need of refurbishment.
2 - There is very limited to no undercover parking. You would be parking on the side of street as the current undercover parking is largely occupied by permanent residents.
3 - There are no lifts. You should expect to carry your luggage over several floors. Even the room that was advertised as ‘Ground’ required us to take 3 flights of stairs.
Overall I would not recommend this place. There are certainly better options available in the beautiful city of Coffs Harbour.

Rooms are looking a little dated and we couldn't get a park anywhere. But it was clean and quiet to sleep so that was great!
I loved everything in Pacific Bay resort. The only issue I faced was
1. Pitch black road at night after returning from dinner. Bit scary.
2. Though I was lucky to have a parking space but I could see other guests were struggling to find parking under the parking lot instead they had to park on the roadside and the roads were absolutely dark, no lights.
Overall, Gentle staff, amazing ambience in the main hall. Rooms where very nit and tidy. Loved it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort and would highly recommend it to others. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and the facilities were top-notch. From the swimming pool to the spas , everything was well-maintained and easily accessible. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we can't wait to return.
Beautiful accomodation, would definitely return.
Breakfast was standard

The location of the resort was right off the highway. The staff were friendly. The resort rooms are looking dated but they are in good repair. The restaurant by the main lobby was amazing. Easy walk to the beach but not recommended for people with walking or stair issues. Drive your car.
Nice property. Clean, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Property is a bit dated without any USB outlets and not enough electrical outlets including the desk area where it is necessary to unplug the TV or desk light to plug in a laptop. The AC barley cooled the room.

After a long drive from interstate arrived at reception to be greeted by receptionist who didn’t seem to happy to be at work, we all have bad days but that is your job to greet customers. Then told the Restraunt was closed for a function which was the main reason we chose to stay there so we didn’t have to drive anywhere to get dinner . Finally got our room to have a long awaited shower only for our bathroom to flood due to a blocked drain. Went back to reception to let them know and felt like I was being a pain in the arse for complaining about the issue . Thinking they were going to swap our
rooms they said they would get the maintenance guy to come and fix the problem which was sorted eventually.
We let our little girl out onto the balcony then realised she was picking up old cigarette buts obviously left there from a previous guest ( grub ) we ended up picking up and throwing away half a dozen butts ( disgusting ) obviously missed by the cleaners
Was very disappointing
Great stay. Enjoyed the pool, buffet breakfast, proximity to beach, privacy. Room was very clean. Parking can be difficult and access to our room (1112) meant walking over dirt which was a bit bizarre.
This page is NOT for anyone that cannot do stairs. It's a bit difficult to get around and figure out where you are going. It was 102 stairs, not steps, from the bottom of the stairs to our room. Very nice place once you get there. Very limited covered parking, otherwise, you are parking on a hill behind the parking garage.

I liked the staff and activity options around the property. The studio room I stayed in this time was a little sub-par compared to the other rooms I’ve stayed in, like the executive suite, in this property in the past. The bed was comfy however, the towels and floor was not as clean as other rooms available. Hopefully, it was a one-off. I’ve stayed many times in this resort and always find it a happy place.
Tiles in kitchen felt like it had been a while since good wash, Bathroom tiles had the feel of sand on them. Balcony drain which ran the full length was full of dirt so there were weeds growing and weeds coming out from the brick work. Over all not worth the price
Everything was enjoyable about this resort. Wherever we were all the staff were so friendly and helpful. The various pools and facilities are easily accessible. A relaxing spacious layout in a beautiful setting, right on the beach. Also convenient for all the sites and places of interest in and around Coffs Harbour.

Advertised EV charger does not exist. Parking was out the back on muddy uneven ground.
Rooms are okay but the property needs more of a refesh. Didn't like how there was no allocated underground car parking for rooms - was a bit of a free for all.
Undercover parking near the room was full. Had to park in a different parking area further away from the room. It was not convenient to carry all the luggages all the way from the parking to room, without lift access. The room was a bit dated. One of the bowls has a little bit of dry food scrap left on it. The aircon unit is a bit loud. Good facilities at the resort. No mobile reception, lucky for the free hotel wifi.
