The Beach Retreat Coolum

If you're looking for fancy, this is not your place. The room was very basic, but had everything we needed for a weekend away. For a simple getaway, this place is great. Directly across the road from the beach entrance. You can be from your room to your feet in the sand in less than 5 mins. You can hear the waves, which we love, but also it's surprisingly quiet with the door closed. Aircon is super efficient. Bed was very comfy, bath tub was great, room was really roomy. The bathroom vanity tap was a bit wonky and spat the water out but we managed fine. We stayed in room 1B which is at the front of the building. We put the outdoor chairs into the rock garden to enjoy the beach view. There was also a table just outside the complex door where we sat for a sunset drink and dinner, for a broader, uninterrupted view of the beach. Staff were friendly, there's undercover secure parking and there are restaurants, cafes, shops just a few steps away.

The room was lovely and clean, bed very comfortable. The view from my room was amazing over looking the beach. Only thing I thought that was lacking was a microwave. It has a kettle, bar fridge, crockery and cutlery. But overall was a great place to stay. Photo is the view from my room.

位置很好！就在海的對面。吃住行都很方便！

酒店有點舊了，但卻是睡得最香的一晚，停車很方便，去海邊也很方便，就是樓下沒啥吃的

I wasn’t going to write this review because the girls in reception were the only aspect I thought was ok with the disgraceful experience. Are you really serious about charging $230 a night for this garbage.. truly ?? 1) The bed was an absolute disgrace and should’ve been thrown on the tip years ago. I now have a sore back after trying to get any sleep on that disgrace. The springs in the mattress must have given way years ago . I find it hard to believe that no one has else complained. There was only 1 extra pillow in the wardrobe.. quite alarming for a $230 a night motel?. We couldn’t use the aircon because there was no controls in the room and the ceiling fan didn’t have a low setting. The toilet seat doesn’t go all the way up. If you’re sitting you need to lean forward because the seat hits you in the back . If you’re standing you need to hold the seat so it doesn’t fall .. again , I can’t believe no one else has complained. The shower/ spa looked unclean . The room door doesn’t have a tight seal.. you can see light coming from the gap to the hallway and the noise from other motel guests comes straight into the room . Room 5b floor 1 is a complete shocking disgrace . We didn’t even have a room with a view of the ocean . I will not be back and I will not be recommending this motel to anyone that asks me. I don’t even expect a reply from you guys as I believe you must be getting reviews like this all the time. Not a happy customer ( prior customer)

We had a very comfortable stay, but feel the apartment needs an update, particularly the bathroom.
