Room was unclean. Floors were literally sticky and your feet ended up black just walking around. All the dishes and cookware needed washing. Nothing was clean, some with inch by inch food pieces. Clean Bed linen is literally falling onto the car park floor which makes you feel really confident about the state of your own sheets. The rooms on the ground floor feel like they have no privacy as there is a public walkway only meters from your balcony and a communal seating area even closer.

Great stay but awful paint smell on first day

This accommodation is absolutely stunning. The view is so amazing and everything is great except for one thing. On our first day, as soon as we entered the room, we noticed an intense smell. We were told by concierge that it may be the common musty smell that they have in Queensland and that it’s normal because they had a lot of rain. The next day, she said she just remembered that the unit had just been painted so that’s what’s maybe causing the smell and that it’s normal.

The smell dramatically reduced the next day since we’ve left the windows open, but it was a little bit too late b ‘cause the smell on the first day already caused us some breathing issues and we got a cold as well. I guess they don’t always paint the room and this is a one off issue but I recommend that if you smell a really strong odour, just insist to be moved to another room especially if you are very sensitive to smell.

while the accommodations themselves were spacious, well-decorated, and impeccably clean, the overall experience was marred by a distinct lack of attention to detail and care by the management.

It appears that the property is self-run, and the lack of genuine concern is palpable. Despite reaching out to reception to report damages, my concerns were entirely ignored. Living with a broken stove, a malfunctioning BBQ, and an out-of-order water/ice dispenser became the unfortunate norm, as no one seemed available to address these issues promptly.

For an accommodation costing $400 USD per night, I expected a level of service and customer care that was sorely lacking. The disconnect between the quality of the physical space and the management's indifference left me with a less-than-satisfactory experience. I hope that the management can take steps to improve their responsiveness and attention to guest concerns in the future.

Great for a somewhat secluded, quiet stay that is still near the downtown area, which is about a 15-20 minute walk along the water. There also are a couple cafes and restaurants along the water that are 5-10 minute walks alway. Sunsets are beautiful from the ocean view suites, or the outdoor sitting area for those without an ocean view. There is also a boardwalk (that unfortunately was closed for construction during our stay) but looks nice.

You can tell the suite is a bit dated and the cleanliness could be better. I wouldn’t consider this a 5 star resort, more so 3.5-4 but I still enjoyed the stay.

The front desk ladies were very friendly and accommodating.

The distance to town is walkable on a great path, but it is a bit of a distance, but the location allowed us to have a decent walk whichever way you went.

Marina Shores did not disappoint! We had a room that my teens actually called their “dream house” because the “aesthetic” was so amazing (room 129 if anyone is looking). When I first saw we were on the first floor I was a bit disappointed but that vanished quickly when I saw we still had a view and we likely had the best room in the place. There’s also a boardwalk outside the room and we saw the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. The views (water, mountain, boats, boardwalk) were spectacular and we would walk there every night. There was even a resident sea turtle (we called him Fred) who would visit. It was the most amazing booking. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give them more!! One small thing: our room had a nespresso machine so we went out buy some (they have instant). Finally, the service was amazing. The gentleman went out of his way to help at every turn. We would definitely return!!
