Detailed Reviews
We stayed here over the weekend and could not fault the service. Reception was so friendly, we had a smoke alarm issue and the concierge was super on top of it, amazingly helpful, honestly felt like a home away from home. Even the cleaning staff we bumped into were so kind and friendly. The room itself is a bit dated but impeccably clean and all the amenities worked well (great shower pressure). The location is also incredible, right behind a little access plaza to the main strip of restaurants. Overall, the great service made this nice apartment complex sensational.

Right from check in, the team were constantly updating us. We were offered a early check in of 12pm and offered a later check out of 12pm for a extra $15.
The apartment is great. The pool and gym are fabulous. Super close to everything you need.
The spa bath in the ensuite was a hit with our kids. I took advice from trip advisor and asked for a higher floor. We were on floor 4, and it was perfectly fine. Great value, I recommend staying.

Check in time was 4pm, which is the latest we have come across during our travels.
Check out time was strictly 10am, recommend management allow a grace period of 15 minutes before chasing down departing guests to vacate.
We booked into 2 two bedroom apartments for our family group through Classic Holidays. Our rooms were 204 & 604.
The apartments are very different; if you choose to stay here, ask for #604, a far superior apartment in terms of layout, fittings and kitchen and laundry amenities.
Beds were reasonably comfortable, but some pillows smelt damp and musty, we notified Reception of this.
There is one allocated secure car space per unit.
During our stay, Reception was friendly and hospitable.
Cleaning was superficial. The apartments appear overdue for a complete deep and thorough clean. There was dust collecting on the skirtings and in the corners.
The bathrooms had black mould and grime in the shower. We did not use the in-room spa. Minimum toiletries provided, suggest bring your own.
In the kitchen, some crockery was put away dirty. The oven tray racks had baked on grime and perhaps should just be replaced.
Thankfully, the dishwasher and washing machine and dryer functioned.
Location is perfect, close to an abundance of shopping, Coles supermarket, cafes and restaurants, the esplanade and beautiful Mooloolaba Beach.
The outdoor pool water was clean, and well used. Bring own beach towel.
Internet was free and reliable. The apartments had air-conditioning which worked.
The building showed a lot of wear and tear.
We would choose to stay elsewhere on our next visit to Mooloolaba.

Booked a 2 Bedroom apartment in October which was confirmed twice to have them ring and leave a message in early December to say they were cancelling our booking. I rang them to see what had happened and the owner of the unit wanted it those days and so they cancelled it on us. Management weren't particularly concerned that we had made arrangements already for our pets and had booked some activities for those dates. A booking is a booking - not subject to change should the owner suddenly feel they want it.

100 percent recommend this place for a stay, from the minute you walk in and are greeted at reception by Mark to the minute you leave you are treated like the only people in the building. With everything made easy by super friendly staff.
The rooms are insane with plenty of space! The pool/BBQ Areas are great with a little gym to pump out a quick session.
Highly recommend this place.
Thanks for a great experience guys 😉😉

My family has stayed at this hotel before but never again. Room 103 was very disappointing. Immediately under our room was the bar. Immediately out our front door was the swimming pool. Immediately outside our bedroom was the garbage chute. And of course the elevators were also outside our bedroom door. Our bedroom was lit up like a Christmas tree due to emergency exit lights and the curtains did little to prevent the light coming in. From the entry to the front door you can see directly into the ensuite toilet, which beware, has no actual door. The so called 2nd bedroom was nothing more than a half bedroom with what can only be described as Japanese sliding flimsy doors from the lounge room, also very bright. We booked this hotel 9 months prior to our stay of 5 nights, but there seems to be no loyalty to customers who book in advance and directly through the hotel. When I enquired as to why we were put on level 1, was told that it was because I did not request a high floor.

We recently had a few nights in a 2 bed apartment on the first floor. Can’t fault the staff who were super helpful and friendly!!
The apartment locations is amazing and a 30 sec walk to the main strip.
The only down fall was in the apartment themselves. All very fixable - The furniture was old and very uncomfortable. Please replace
The TV was tiny and not a smart tv so could access Netflix etc. Again easy and cheap fix
The main bedroom was strange as no wall between the en-suite and bedroom part. You can literally see the toilet bowl from the bed. A bit weird if sharing the room getting up in the middle of the night needing to pee or worse. - again more expensive but simple fix with a screen to seperate the two areas.
Given the location and rest of the overall quality would recommend and return,

Apt. looked clean but was actually filthy. Got wine glasses out of cabinet and they looked like they had never been cleaned; with food particles and fingerprints on the glass. Door handles were disgusting to touch. We were disgusted by everything! You could not pay us to come back!!

We stayed here for the 1st time over covid settled, it was a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment on a higher level, very clean & tidy, furnishings looked quite new. Staff were very friendly & lovely. Sadly for us the large carpark had started being built so we didnt have much view of anything & was not so private during the day with all the workers, but it was very enjoyable & management gave us a very generous discount on arrival due to the work been done right beside the complex & in view of our apartment, we just sat on the other balcony off the 2nd bedroom, it had a beautiful view of the city. It is close & walking distance to everything Mooloolaba has to offer, we will defiantly stay here again

Beautiful 3 bedder/ 3 ensuites to suit the 3 couples who shared. Close to the Main Street ( 2 min walk). Pool area was lovely and had partial views of the ocean. The place was very clean and had all the necessaries needed to enjoy a relaxed stay. Staff very accomodating and serviced the room while we were there for 8 nights. Free secure parking was a plus. Would stay here again.
