Detailed Reviews
We booked last minute and appreciated getting a room. The room was very tired, out the back, desperately needs some paint work. The resort looks fine, reception closes early, maps and how to get anywhere are confusing and difficult to follow but a reasonable well-located place.

Thank you for your review Robert H, we are disappointed to hear that the room did not meet your expectations. The Beach Retreat Coolum is now under new management. We have various classes of rooms and we are working hard to improve the standard of all our rooms and the resort as a whole.

The staff could not have been more helpful during our stay. They kindly upgraded us to a suite when I realised the shower over the spa was not an option for me in our hotel room.
Thank you so much for making our stay a pleasure.

Very nice stay but if you have an iPhone don’t expect wifi. Apparently their internet provider doesn’t like apple. The top spa was so dirty one day I decided not to get in it. I did have a slight ocean view even though I didn’t pay for one.

First of all, All the staffs that we meet were very friendly. We went there bit early and need to wait for about 30 minutes for check in. We left our bags on the reception and went to the beach. The reception team deserves 5 star.

We’re very widely & globally travelled and very disappointed in the receptive mode in which we were received.. our money is the same currency as the girl that needs a welcome pill in reception.. wakey wakey sweetheart. We do PAY YOUR WAGES.. Ozzie. Ozzie Ozzie

Average the first room was looking at a brick wall without sea views.
Tv wasn’t working properly, staff had closed reception so nobody to help.
Second room was better as it was a 1 bedroom apartment with balcony & views.
The staff were friendly and helpful, walking distance to restaurants and Surf Club.

Very helpful staffs. Location is great. We loved the view from our room. It was very nice and clean. Easy access to shops and restaurants. Heated pool and spa was the most enjoyable. We will certainly visit again soon. Xoxo

When my wife and I stayed there the room was spotless. Not once did we see mould in the bathroom or anywhere else.Take a tip from Made Wijaya,Trust the staff at the resort to make your stay comfortable. And if you can find a better location for the price in Coolum, please let me know. I doubt you will. Made Wijaya. :)
