Stayed here for the night with my friend, room was small but perfect for the both of us, we were both amazed with the bathroom set up! We’ve never seen a bathroom like it before, ventilation in the bathroom was amazing also, air con was nice and cold, bed was comfortable, room was bright and well lit, staff were amazing! Didn’t sleep well the night we stayed there and ordered 2 bottles of water, phone call scared the heck outta both of us as he was asleep and I wasn’t, but he did say he had a good sleep, each area, pool, gym, reception, laundry, was clean, we both had the chicken parmigiana and beer of the month, amazing sized dinner and delicious! Worth the money! Breaky was a bit, busy? A lot of tourists, food didn’t stay full for long but my hats off to food and bev for working as fast as they could to provide breakfast for everyone. Next time we meet half way again we will definitely be staying here again!

Lovely room with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Loved the fact that the bar is attached to reception, we checked in and ordered drinks all at the same time! The staff are so beautiful and friendly and are so available to help. We particularly enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar. This place was such a great find .

Wasn't a great stay. Key system is not working properly and there was somthing that I don't want to share with other guests fir the sake of hotel. We stayed at the most expensive room then imagine what happened. I don't think not wanting to stay again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, property is new so rooms designed for maximum clever use of the space available. Very comfortable. Area immediately around hotel is a new development zone so a bit of a jumble, but easily walkable to main part of Maroochydore & safe, off-street (paid) parking very close to hotel.

Could of been a better selection of pillows as they werent very nice to sleep on. No extra selection of blankets. Service was good and the breakfast was average but would of been nice to have all selections every day and not every 2nd day. The bed was also very hard and when the air con was on was very loud on the lowest setting. The hotel was walking distance to everywhere which was greatt.
