Marcoola Beach Resort

We had a lovely stay but there were a few issues - reception is only open from 2pm-5pm, no batteries in tv remote, very little toilet paper with no additional rolls available (5 people in the apartment), we had to empty the dishwasher from the previous occupancy. The apartment was very comfortable though and the grounds and facilities lovely.

We stayed as a family of 3, the area was great, the previous occupants had put away uncleaned plates / cutlery which we washed, we couldn’t connect to any WiFi which was annoying.

The pool, spa and sauna were great, well maintained. The room was spacious but dusty. Dishes still in dish washer from previous guests and not well washed. Floor had barely been vaccumed and there was melted chocolate on leather couch.

We were taking our friends on a four holiday to relax & enjoy together. The experience was embarrassing, my friend spent most of her time cleaning! This room has not had a proper clean for a very, very long time- all surfaces had sticky, dirty grime over them. Glass tables were smeared with dirt, grime & fingerprints, underneath & on top. Bedside lamps were broken, curtains hanging off the rods. Kitchen cupboards haven’t been wiped out in years, minimal crockery/cutlery, a dangerous broken drinking glass on the shelf, pots & pans with burnt & peeling Teflon coatings, baking dishes with old baked on burnt residue. grey towels, 1 tea towel for 4 days which we had to use as a cleaning cloth! Carpets were unvacuumed and stained. Lifts were grubby as well! Obviously there are no room & contents checks completed between guest stays but they are super quick to get their payment up front before your stay! The best part of the stay was observing the migrating whales off the coast and they came for free!

Great place to stay. Excellent apartment but not very clean. Views spectacular, facilities great.

We arrived at 2:30pm on a Saturday and the reception was closed. The caretaker said he tried to call me but I didn’t receive a call. The townhouse wasn’t clean. Empty toiletry bottles were left in the shower, wet towels in the dryer and a laundry sink full of someone else’s belongings. There were no additional bin liners, no sponges for cleaning dishes or wiping benches. The bed was so creaky when you moved that I was conscious of it all night. The house it self was nice and spacious and served its purpose. The pool and spa were great and the proximity to the beach was wonderful.

Pros Close to the beach and dining areas. Local to beaches and not too far from bigger areas like noosa and Maroochydore. CONS: Roof in main bedroom filthy with dust or mould, tv in bedroom and the blinds dusty. Cabinet behind the couch has mould and dust all over, tables were dusty inside and out. No cleaning items for the kitchen. Shelves in bedroom were dusty

Unit 10 although very roomy smelt like dogs lived in the room, it was an awful smell. Complained to the person on reception who was disinterested. I have taken photos of the dirt on the furniture, smears on microwave, fridge, mirrors etc. Went to coles and purchased cleaning products to clean floors and bring the standard to a livable condition. Doona in the main bedroom also smelt like dogs. Drawers were dirty, some pillows in cupboard were old and yellow/stained, some pillowslips had not been washed. Broken furniture in 3rd bedroom cupboards. Floors not vacuumed and outside area, which was a lovely large area was extremely dirty. The surrounding gardens were lovely as was the outside atmosphere. Would not recommend staying in this Unit 10 which is a large 3 bedroom unit with a lot of potential if it was looked after and cleaned.

Great space, great views clean and tidy spacious rooms! Very happy with the stay! Highly recommend
