First time on the Sunshine Coast, and stayed for two nights at the Beach Resort in a one bedroom apartment. We found it value for money, a huge bed with a view, a large bathroom with a washer and dryer and a comfortable lounge/sitting area. Having read other reviewers comments, its a bit surprising it wasnt rated better. Who doesnt... More

Hotel style accomodation for the overnite traveler should have the following detail shampoo, soap, coditioner tissues and towells you cant see through. The beach retreat had none of these not even a face washer. This is let down particularly as it was a hotel style room and we were working all day did not finish the job, did not come... More

Our family stayed here just recently on a weekend. The room we had had the potential to be more than reasonable but the decor is really quite dated. Our room was bright yellow with blue trim with a florally patterned blue and yellow sofa. The linen was spotless and the room clean but dated. For a small amount of money,... More

The Beach Retreat offers a small range of options. I had booked into a studio but was upgraded to a small apartment (non serviced) so had great value for money. The apartment was well set out with large bathroom including clothes washing machine and a spa bath, a kitchenette with hot plate and a microwave plus kettle and toaster. The... More

A spur of the moment decision ended in 3 days of relaxation and comfort in a fantastic environment known as Coolum. My adult children and I couldn't not have chosen a better place to stay than at "The Beach Retreat".What a great setting. The lush green of the mountain, the community of Coolum the unspoilt beach. Why would you want... More

had a great time at the Beach Retreat. Bonus having another television in the main room, especially when the boys were watching the cricket. Clean, staff members very polite and helpful. easy access to every thing. Only complaint, no screens on doors if you wanted to leave them open and not worry about flies (pet hate!) More

Partner and I stayed here for a few nights last year and were mostly happy with everything. The location is really quite beautiful and shop/cafes/restaurants were all close by, which is always handy. As we stayed there in May, not many people were using the pool or sauna and this was just a little added bonus for us. Despite being... More

The good things: modern, tidy, spa bath in every room, good noise insulation, nice pool, friendly reception, good to have undercover secure parking, great position - close to main street; The bad things: we wanted to go for a night swim and we went down there half an hour before the pool shut yet the security guards obviously wanted to...
