Coolum Seaside Apartments ★★★★

📍 6-8 Perry St, Coolum Beach

"Had a wondeful stay here. We booked a studio apartment and was exactly what we needed and was clean with a nice comfy bed. Was greeted by a lovely lady at reception who was happy to help with any questions we have had had. We didn't have a flight until later in the day when we checked out and they hapilly stored our bag for afew hours. Doesnt have 24 hour reception for check in but there are some instructions on how to contact on site management if you arrive outside of staffed reception hours. Facilities here are great too and a short walking distance to amenities. Didnt get a chance to enjoy the tennis court, bbq facilities or pools however will be sure to stay here again when ever next in Coolum Beach. Also has free parking for guests if you have a car with you."

Coolum at the Beach ★★★★

📍 1842 David Low Way, Coolum Beach

"This apartment building does not cater for smokers. There is no place at all to smoke accept on the street, no designated place for that which can be dangerous for women. Internet was largely unavailable and mobile phone service was poor. The TV which operated via internet and 2 remotes was a nightmare especially when turned off and turned back on again, it had to be reset. You almost needed to be an info tech expert to work the TV out."

"A fantastic find!! Great 3 bedroom apartment for our family which offered the teenager their own space and a fantastic functional kitchen. The pool/Spa/tennis court/ basketball provided simple and great entertainment for everyone. The location is perfect with beach/ shops/restaurants a short stroll away. Loved this place and will definitely be back "

Endless Summer Resort Hotels in Coolum Beach

Endless Summer Resort

"Perfect for what we needed. Kids loved the time staying there. Fabulous pool, mini golf, little playground, free fast wifi, lots of pay tv channels for kids and adults. Location 10/10 as kids never want to walk very far. Beach and places to eat are 2 minute walk. Provided all the basic needs with Coles just a walk away. Desiree & Steve took our last minute booking on a Sunday with a late arrival which we really appreciated. They were both welcoming and helpful."

"The location of this property is perfect and the 2 bedroom apartment was lovely and the layout was perfect. It had everything we needed during our stay. The only thing I would suggest is to have another streaming service besides Foxtel. I would definitely return here if I travel to the Sunshine Coast again."

Marcoola Beach Resort Hotels in Coolum Beach

Marcoola Beach Resort

"We were very disappointed with our stay. For $400 per night, we expected a much higher standard. The fridge was inoperable, with a spare one awkwardly placed in the lounge. There was visible mould on electrical devices and in the shower, and the curtains were made of a plastic material that was in a questionable state. Even more concerning, some appliances had exposed wires, which surely would not meet safety regulations. To top it off, there were dirty dishes left in the dishwasher, presumably from the previous guests. While we received a $200 refund, this unit should never have been offered in its current condition."

"Arrived with 2 teen boys for my mum's ( their Nan's funeral) was looking forward to unwind in the pool. Kids headed straight to the pool. It was empty noone in the pool area. We went upstairs to organise more funeral plans for the following day so seeing the boys finally tap out and laughing In the pool after such sadness was great. Boys were doing a Marnu so unlike a bomb they just jump in land in their Bum to see the splash . Absolutely harmless, not one other guest in the pool area. Suddenly the came upstairs upset " Mum a rude old man popped his head out of a room and yelled STOP BOMBING OR GET OUT" and slammed the door. My boys immediately came up told us. Now 14 and 16 years old shown full respect by not talking back and came straight upstairs. Later that day I learnt it was the owner / caretaker as he passed me and my boys on the stairs and had no decency to pull me aside or mention it. Now I teach my teen boys respect. But it's so sad how a grown man owner of a HOLIDAY property has shown little to them. My advice : of future interaction with a couple of respectful kids having harmless fun in the pool would be " hey boys, how you going, look guys the rules are no bombing to keep water in the pool so if you could stop thanks guys" that's how you my friend need to learn to talk to people. Expecially the owner as it's a holiday resort not a hospital it's a happy place to expect kids that be having fun. And treated like a valued paying customer. If understand if they gave to cheek and were rude but they didn't and you didn't even approach this in a way t see that, you were barking orders aggressively like a rude old man That way you not only gain respect but you also show these boys communication and respect is a 2 way thing. Instead of your obnoxious yelling and rude barking orders. The next day I was with my boys in the pool and I said no bombing. As this is the pool rules and the issue the previous day. I quickly popped upstairs to tweak my mother's funeral speech and the phone rang it was the owner complaining about my boys in the pool jumping . I called my boys straight up and they said they just jumped in a few times as it's 10am, sunny day, noone in.pool, noone in pool area, and the rude man yelled again "Hey I said no jumping yesterday so get out" my 16 year old replied " sorry but I just jumped in I'm not hurting anyone" the rude man said " get out now you shouldn't be in here alone" Now the gate said under 12 or 13 not allowed unsupervised. My boys are 14,16 I was upstairs above them with foot open popping my head in and out. So on short form If you are looking for a fun place to stay while your kids are in holidays. The male owner is a grumpy rude man that will disrespectful address your children, in a rude aggressive tone instead of simply have a chat to these harmless young kids. He need to learn to communicate not rudly bark orders. Fun for kids, this is not the place. He is very lucky 16 year old kid"

"Our stay for 5 nights was fantastic. Apartment was clean, comfortable with a veranda overlooking the pool. Walking distance to shops, cafes and the beach. I love Coolum and would definitely stay here again. The owners are very helpful and very kind. We needed help with the TV and different pillows. Nothing was too much trouble. Also my husband left a jacket and they called us promptly so we could pick it up. Thankyou so much."

"The hotel is a bit old, but it was the best night's sleep. Parking is very convenient and it is also convenient to go to the beach. But there is nothing to eat downstairs."

Sunshine Coast Airport Motel ★★★
"I booked this hotel because there was airport service Or ask a friend to carry it...super low value for money The check in time was 6:30 pm, were handled about 7 pm, has been constantly emphasizing keeping quiet, keeping clean, so even if there is a swimming pool and BBQ we did not dare to use Also clearly written check in time is eight, but I said we would arrive at seven, the service staff twisted and looked very inconvenient! Finally, the equipment says there is a kitchen, but in practice there is only one microwave, no toothpaste toothbrush, slippers and spare parts are provided and nothing says..."

"The beach of this resort is very good, but the power outage for two days after catching up with the storm, the hotel did nothing, and the holiday was originally a good one and lost a lot of fun. But the hotel is still very good and worth playing."
