Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed at the beautiful Blue C Apartments in Unit 907 - this is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment which has lovely furnishings and is very modern. Amazing view of Coolangatta Beach and right down to Rainbow Bay. Great balcony to enjoy the best aspects of this beautiful area and to enjoy outdoor dining. Best position to watch New Years Eve fireworks and to really take in the atmosphere. Walking distance to everything - no need for a car. This unit ticks all the boxes on so many levels. Straight across from patrolled beach and this complex has a beautiful large pool, kids loved it. So close to Coolangatta airport that you don't need to hire a car. You will not be disappointed - would highly recommend for your next stay.

I recently stayed at this resort for the second time. This trip was for 3 nights and was again an enjoyable stay. My husband told them it was a special anniversary and we were upgraded at no additional cost. This was the first time my husband had stayed here and he was very impressed from the moment he walked through the door and saw the spacious apartment with the breathtaking view. We will definitely be back.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars as there a few very MINOR things that require maintenance eg broken strings on blinds and lights over stove not working, but these did not affect our stay

Blue C Coolangatta well exceeded my expectations. The property is perfectly located in Coolangatta, a short stroll to everything- including cafes, restaurants and Woolworths - and all along the scenic esplanade. Very close to Kirra also and many scenic walks nearby. No need for a car.

The apartments are far better appointed than I had anticipated, with newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms and ample utensils for a longer stay. And the view- wow! It truly is an ocean view and felt pretty amazing to wake up to ocean views each morning and enjoy a cuppa on the balcony.

Staff are really lovely too and went out of their way to be helpful. I compared many otter properties along the esplanade (as sadly I couldn’t extend my booking here due to the property being booked out) and found other places to charge considerably more for lesser quality. I will be back here for sure!

This place has the potential to be really great but unfortunately a few things really let it down for us.
Firstly we arrived to be put in an apartment that had ceiling panels missing and exposed wires which also meant no light for the hall near the second bedroom which was to be used by our older parents. We were moved to another floor with a less impressive view only to find this had frozen food from previous tenants in the freezer. We finally moved again to a lower floor than what we’d originally been on which was disappointing but the only final option given, and somewhat reluctantly. After agreeing this would do the staff member assisting us did offer to have the single beds put together in the second bedroom to replicate the double bed that was meant to be in there. Not ideal but at least an offer to assist.
Unfortunately once unpacking we noticed the apartment was quite dirty. Shelving hadn’t been cleaned and there were black hairs thru the bathrooms (which we later also found in our bed and the rest of the apartment along with a spider in the second bed and sugar ants all over the floor when we returned one afternoon - and there were definitely no spills on the floor from us!).
That night we went to have the first showers of our stay around 7:30pm only to find out we only had two towels for 4 adults and a baby (it was a 2 bed apartment). After ringing reception who’d gone home we were told someone would have to drive in. We were made to feel like this was an inconvenience caused by us and when we told the person delivering the towels that we would need to speak to management they said they were management and they’d had to come out on their annual leave. An inconvenience for them absolutely but unfortunately not our problem as paying guests who were just after towels.
We found the staffing of the hotel generally subpar. Reception was rarely manned and when it was, the person was often in their office and even if they were at reception not once did we get a welcome acknowledgement, a hello or anything. Very strange. Overall we thought the location and views were great and with some simple fixes to the apartment like a proper clean, a doona cover for the bedrooms (!), and more towels would create a lovely space but the staff attitude is also going to need a review. In this day and age not even saying hello to guests really isn’t enough and sadly despite hoping this would become a regular holiday venue for our extended family, we will be unlikely to return.

Apartments and location are great!!! The manager Jason could not have been more helpful but I believe is being let down with some non performers in his team.
When we arrived into the apartment the smell of rotting food was terrible,we found the kitchen garbage had been missed by cleaners.The lounge was covered in food crumbs and hair and the outside balcony and table was in the same condition.
A cleaner was sent up (about 18 years of age) and proceeded to flick the food and hair off the lounge onto the floor with her hand. She said "there you go" is that ok now????? I found a vacuum cleaner and cleaned the whole apartment myself?.

The apartment was not just a bit dusty it literally was not cleaned. There were no cleaning products at all (including washing up/laundry detergent), The oven was disgusting and unusable, shower screens with soap scum, someone else's clothing in the dryer. Outdoor table had crumbs and water marks all over it.
The after hours staff member was embarrassed and helpful but we had no feedback from anyone else.
My husband had get a screwdriver out of the car to tighten the shower head so he could use it plus screw on a couple of door handles.
But that was insignificant compared to the shock when I turned back the bed, The linen had not been changed (in either bedroom) for at least a week and possibly two weeks. The doona was disgusting and pillow slips stained and really stinky,
This after an all day drive and in the middle of a COVID pandemic was appalling.
We were given the opportunity to move the next day but had to spend the night in that disgusting apartment then pack up and move.
Reviews for this property consistently complain about the cleaning but based on our experience Management couldn't care less.
My advice is despite the ideal location avoid this property. It could be a health hazard.

We have stayed at Blue C before and have had a great time in the past but unfortunately the same can't be said for our recent stay. The location and views are great however these are the issues we had: we arrived at 2pm to check-in and our room wasn't ready and we had to wait until 3pm before we had access (this is always difficult with kids), the apartment was really dirty (filthy mirror, slimy and filmy floors, green furry mould in bathroom, stained hand towels), we didn't have any bath towels in the room, we didn't have any toilet paper in the apartment, the toaster was broken and didn't work, and the bedroom window didn't close so we were unable to block out traffic noise/wind etc.
I would never write a public negative review without first trying to contact the management. I have sent 2 emails about our stay and no-one has even bothered to reply so for this reason I think it's worth warning others before booking a stay there. We paid top Summer holiday peak rates and definitely didn't expect this. I'm not sure what's happened at this accommodation because it certainly hasn't been our experience in the past but we are unlikley to return.

We have stayed here on and off for the past many years however this will be the last time.

The apartments need upgrading and investment by their landlords.

Mould on cushions, stained carpet, discoloured bed quilts (yellowish), leather lounge really worn, air conditioner hit and miss and at times completely shut down nor didn’t cool the apartment, not equipped kitchen with basic utensils eg. small frying pans, no storage containers or washing up rack etc., oven / stove needs upgrade - not great to cook on or in. Unless you don’t planned to cook in the apartment than no problems.

The location is fantastic.
The views are fantastic.
The accommodation isn’t and for the price you pay I would go elsewhere.

Location of the apartments is fabulous. The view is amazing- we were on the 14th floor. Pool is lovely and well shielded from the wind which many aren’t in Coolangatta. Unfortunately, the apartment was let down by big bulky and uncomfortable furniture. W wha e a family of four and my husband is 6”2 and teenage daughters. We couldn’t sit comfortably in any room together. Beds were old and mattresses uncomfortable, TV’s under or oversized. It felt a bit neglected and tired. Our washing machine broke and so did the air conditioning. The desk staff were very lovely and tended to these matters quickly. For the price it was okay but not great.

Hi alby4wd, there is unfortunately no curtesy bus pick up from Coolangatta air port. However, the public transport connection is very good. You can just hop on the 760 bus which will bring you directly to our apartment building in McLean Street. Uber and taxis are operating in this area as well. Safe travels :)

We had a room at the front so had beautiful ocean views. As recommended by others you would be better off booking direct and requesting a room with ocean views to ensure you get what you want. It was a fantastic place to stay so I highly recommend it.
