Beach Retreat Coolum

8/10 Good

"Happy with my stay."

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

8/10 Good

"Maintenance is a big issue at this property- Manager please read: Very helpful and lovely staff, we like the quiet location and visit yearly. Rooms are always clean, we stay in the renovated rooms. This trip however there was a leaking roof where we had to walk up and down stairs that we found very dangerous, the amount of water gushing out- because it was raining was alarming. It was heavily covering the stairs. The Sola restaurant food was great, however we waited 50 minutes just to receive our drinks and an hour to receive our meals, we had to cancel a meal that still hadn’t arrived since it was getting late. The lack of maintenance is very concerning, rotting timber, gutters falling, it has been an issue for years and not much has changed. We will not be going back next year."

Sand Dunes Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Reception staff were lovely and really helpful. They went out of their way to meet our requests and we were grateful to be granted early check in as well as a small change to the bedding configuration to better suit out group. The unit was modern, spacious and well appointed. This resort has pretty much everything you could desire - huge swimming pool, public spa and located within a minutes walk to the beach. We had a beach house which had a lovely hot tub on the roof as well as a second private spa in the main bedroom. Both were well utilised. Location is great with fairly direct beach access (no need to cross a road) and easy access to Mudjimba. It is below the flight path. Personally we enjoyed this but it might not be to everyone's tastes. Our group had fun plane spotting from the hot tub! If you are staying more than a weekend it would be advisable to BYO toiletries, dishwashing supplies etc. The only small improvements that could be made would be to the occasionally sketchy wi-fi and a little more attention to cleanliness. For example, the front of the toilet door was clean on one side but when it was shut there was a noticeable amount of dirty brown finger marks. Overall though the unit was clean and tidy so these were minor things in an otherwise wonderful stay. We would definitely love to stay again! We were a group of adults but we all commented that it would be a great stay with kids (there is even a skate park across the road!). Highly recommended."

South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa

8/10 Good

"Lovely property and we enjoyed our stay, but knowing what we know now, if we returned we would ask for the following: - An upper level room. Ground floor rooms hear every footstep from above and if people are early risers or night owls, you will need earplugs to sleep. - A room with a comfortable couch. Our unit had what I can only describe as outdoor furniture as their lounge suite. It looked great but was very uncomfortable and not a place to relax in the evening. - A room away from restaurant. The noise from diners and the cooking odours were off putting. Otherwise we had a lovely time. The staff were exceptional and the grounds beautiful."
