Mercure Sunshine Coast Kawana Waters
Room was spacious and ready when we arrived. Breakfast was good but not much selection of cooked items. Staff were great. Only complaint is that the toilet in our room hadn’t been cleaned from the previous person.

RACV Noosa Resort
Well setup for families with great pool area, games room, soft play etc. Buffet breakfast was nice, otherwise the food was average. King suite was comfy and spacious, but kitchen was too basic to cook in. Overall great for families and staff very friendly.
