Top Marcoola Hotel Reviews

Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff polite and helpful, room was spotless and close to beach and local amenities"

Sand Dunes Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in Sand Dunes. The unit comes with kitchen and laundry. Rooms and bathrooms are tidy clean, no complaint. Plenty of room for the kids to run around. The smaller pool and spa are heated. Kids love them. If you are on ground floor, your backyard open up to the pool. So recommended to get ground floor units. The Sand Dunes is located 2-3 min drive to shops and restaurants. Very convenience. 1 carpark space available per unit. Highly recommended and will return if we visit the Sunshine Coast!"

South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa

8/10 Good

"Lovely property and we enjoyed our stay, but knowing what we know now, if we returned we would ask for the following: - An upper level room. Ground floor rooms hear every footstep from above and if people are early risers or night owls, you will need earplugs to sleep. - A room with a comfortable couch. Our unit had what I can only describe as outdoor furniture as their lounge suite. It looked great but was very uncomfortable and not a place to relax in the evening. - A room away from restaurant. The noise from diners and the cooking odours were off putting. Otherwise we had a lovely time. The staff were exceptional and the grounds beautiful."
