Oceans Mooloolaba ★★★★★

📍 101-105 Mooloolaba Espl, Mooloolaba

"My husband and I came to Mooloolaba to cycle around the area for 2 days and Oceans was the perfect place to stay. The location is ideal and our room was very comfortable with a lovely view, a comfy bed, a beautiful spacious bathroom, and nice furniture - so bright and sunny! It was so handy to have our own laundry machine and a kitchenette. We had a nice patio with table and chairs looking out to the ocean and we loved having happy hour there before going out to one of the nearby restaurants for dinner. The promenade out front of the hotel is so fun and vibrant - full of shops and restaurants for many blocks. It was very private. We only saw staff for check-in and check-out and they were very friendly and helpful. Our car was parked below in secure parking. And there was a grocery store about a block away. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We definitely would stay here again."

Direct Collective - Lowanna Beach Resort
8.7 (104 reviews)

Direct Collective - Lowanna Beach Resort ★★★★

📍 42 Lowanna Dr, Buddina

"We had such a lovely stay at Lowanna Resort! We originally booked an 18 m² suite, but when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to be given a full apartment instead. It was such a nice gesture and honestly made us feel really welcome and appreciated. The apartment was super clean, tidy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable throughout. The location was also great — it was close to the beach, shopping center, and lots of lovely cafés and restaurants, which made everything very convenient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable! ❤️"

Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel
8.4 (63 reviews)

Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel ★★★★

📍 10 Brisbane Rd, Mooloolaba

"Stayed at the Avani for 4 nights. On arrival checkin was good and they stored our bags for us. Once room ready they called us to let us know and delivered our bags to the room. Overall room was nice, clean and tidy however the toilet/shower area is a little weird with frosted glass and gaps around the doors where any other guest sharing the room can see in. the room was a little noisey as you could hear the people at the pub across the road which was a shame. Didn't eat at the restaurant as prices were a bit steep for me and didn't really have "bar food" type alternatives. Staff were very nice and polite however one night the lady at the front bar must have been video calling someone which was a little unprofessional. Overall nice to have another option to stay at in Mooloolaba. "

Sandcastles Mooloolaba Hotels in Mooloolaba

Sandcastles Mooloolaba

"We had booked for eight nights and were really disappointed on arrival. For the price and the Trip Advisor rating, it simply did not measure up. Our unit appeared to have been recently renovated but it was a really cheap job. The light switches were not secure, the toilet roll holder leaned downwards, the wardrobe doors very thin and the bed gave me my first ever back ache on waking. It turns out that Sandcastles, although well located, is at the ‘poor end’ of the beach front strip and the area is unusually dark at night. My partner and I were shocked when we first walked into our allocated apartment (305) and felt no better the following morning. I went in search of alternative accomodation, which was difficult to find. Eventually found something, which was three bedrooms instead of one, and cost 2.5 times more than Sandcastles. It was worth every cent. Sandcastles is not serviced daily, the alternative one is. The lounge room/dining area is four times the size and we have a beachfront view. To be fair to Sandcastles, I did not say anything, except we were leaving early. They graciously only charged us for two nights accomodation and refunded the six nights. I was very grateful. The receptionist was lovely and the standard of accomodation was not her fault, so no point in carrying on to her. Sandcastles is a three star resort at best, and certainly not 4.5."

"The location was great, close to walk to everything, opposite the river and very quiet. The Unit was nicely decorated with quality fittings and there was not shortage of kitchen utensils, cups, glasses etc. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the bedding was quality. We would certainly recommend Unit 8 at Excellsior"

"I've just checked out this morning from a 3-night stay at this hotel and I've got to say, I'm incredibly disappointed. We stayed in apartment 16 and upon arrival found the floor in the living area appeared to have not been vacuumed. We later discovered when sitting in the living room to watch a movie that the space between the couch cushions was full of crumbs and lint, and the internet was so slow and spotty that we couldn't use any of the apps on either TV without hot spotting it.  When heading to bed that night, the remote for the bedroom fan was missing. We were unable to find it anywhere in the apartment and none of the other fan remotes would work for the main bedroom fan, so we were unable to use it for the duration of our stay. On Saturday night when trying to use the spa bath it was discovered that the jets don't work. On Sunday when we attempted to use the rooftop spa, we found it had a strange colour and smell, with sand already settled at the bottom as if it hadn't been cleaned from the last guests.  Finally, the double bed in the main bedroom. I understand some hotel will push together 2 singles to make up a double, however for $300 a night I at least expected the bed to be secured to the floor. My boyfriend attempted to lean against the headboard only to have the entire bed roll away from him. If I'd known this was the sleeping situation I would have had second thoughts on my booking. I was really looking forward to this trip and spent more than I typically would on a room I thought would provide a comfortable and luxurious place to spend our downtime, and have been left sorely disappointed. As it currently stands, I will not be staying with this hotel again and im sharing my experiences so that other people won't make the same mistake I did"

The Mirage Resort Alexandra Headland Hotels in Mooloolaba

The Mirage Resort Alexandra Headland

"Just wrapped up a three-night stay at The Mirage and wow – what an experience. If you’re looking for outdated decor, zero flexibility, microscopic parking, and that special “we really wish you hadn’t called” after-hours service, this is the place for you. The Highlights Check-in was a breeze… if you arrive before 5pm. Travelling two hours straight from work? Too bad. The after-hours staff answered the phone with all the warmth and enthusiasm of someone being asked to work overtime on their day off. Truly made me feel like an inconvenience for… wanting to check into the room I’d paid for. Parking was comedy gold. The spaces are so narrow you could barely squeeze a motorcycle in, let alone a normal car or SUV. Opening the doors without performing advanced yoga was a daily challenge. Room Condition: Step back in time to the early 2000s with the decor! Bonus points for the welcome gift of someone else’s hair thoughtfully left in the bathroom corners and shower drain. Nothing says “relaxing resort stay” quite like someone else’s grooming remnants. Look, if you enjoy feeling unwelcome, fighting for door space, and questioning the cleaning standards, you’ll love it here. Otherwise… maybe keep scrolling."

Oceans Mooloolaba ★★★★★
"We booked the 4 bedroom deluxe suite for a the weekend. The whole place is spectacular, the view is unbeatable and contains everything you need. Reception were incredibly bubbly and friendly and helpful in bringing up extra pool towels and an extra gas botttle when we had finished using ours within minutes of calling - the BBQ got quite the workout as we had lots of guests and kids to feed. We will definitely be back. Although this is not a cheap holiday, it doesn't really get much better than this. I cannot fault a single thing about the place. Complimentary parking and plenty of it was also a big + for guests."

"Good value for the area and a great location. Bar and dining were convenient and the chicken parma next door was nice. Room was clean though the bathroom was a little tired. Mark down is for the cockroach family - daddy, mummy, baby cockroach that obviously live in the bathroom - they were pretty friendly though!"

"I had to make a change to my itinerary late, because of a health issue. I tried to cancel the booking - this venue refused to accept the cancellation. This was for a Monday - when I am sure they were not at capacity I cannot really judge the Cleanliness or facilities as my change of itinerary meant I didn't step inside the Park Full price was charged I will not stay at this location in future"
