Beach Retreat has an amazing location, one of the best positions at Coolum. Walking distance of eateries, across the road to beach. Lovely pool and spa.
The room itself is tired, chairs and mat worn and grotty, cleaning to be improved in general. On checkout, i was not asked for any feedback, no comment.
I did enjoy my visit.

This morning I left the room to get breakfast and came back to find the door wide open!
I’d left my bag in there with quite a bit of cash so was very careful to leave it locked. The cash was all there but the outcome could’ve been much worse. Obviously the cleaner.
The curtain was so dirty there was mould growing in patches, the property is very old with a lot of rust around and not maintained. Not worth the $248 for the night

Kids pool was great. Big pool to cold for me to get in. Room was really good. Had everything we needed.Even though we were close to the beach couldn’t see it. But that was ok. When we come again may request a room with a view. We were happy there as close to beach and cafes.

Lift smells like someone's dropped a bucket of prawns

Don't bring a car because you won't find a car park

Queen bed is 2 singles bed pushed together and different heights

Ocean views are obstructed by road and trees

Pool not heated

Bring own Pool towels because they charge $5 per towel

Sauna was nice when there weren't children in it complaining about how hot it is

Important to note, this property is in a semi circle with the balconies and apartments facing each other, everyone can see into each others apartments. Privacy is very limited. Also there is only blockout blinds and no sheer white curtains so it’s either all or nothing. The view and price is rather average in comparison to other locations in the Sunshine Coast where you get spectacular views and accomodation for the same price. I checked out 2 nights early due to the above.

While these units are in a great location and we enjoyed the spa and sauna we found our unit to be run down, noisy and stuffy. The shower/spa is difficult to get in and out of, we were only given a small handsoap for washing, the air con was broken and no screen on the balcony door (the only way to get air into the room). The glass balcony door was also difficult to slide and took some grunt. One of the pillows for the bed virtually had no filling left. It suits more of a budget guest but asks for higher price. For what we paid I don't think we'll bother rebooking again.

Room was ordinary, shower over spa bath was quite high to step into and therefore a falls risk. The place felt as if it needed a major upgrade. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Deck chair could be lower you can’t relax on stools. Also hairdryer kept turn off which was annoying when I was running late for a funeral.

I got a room with a balcony facing the ocean and with walls either side keeping the balcony warm but not unbearably hot. You can hear the ocean waves while you sleep. The warm has a small mini fridge kettle, dishes for 2. I couldnt het the tv to work but didnt bother me as I spent most of rhe time on the balcony. Everything is in walking distants, didnt need to drive anywhere once I arrived. Staff were friendly and nice.

Oh my gosh the location is beautiful. You aren’t paying for the room, you are paying for the view. It’s just beautiful.
Bathroom was very average. Needs a good clean and maybe a bit of a Reno. Felt dirty and didn’t feel comfortable using the shower. Very basic room, old furniture but it did the job.
First impression of walking to the room we saw a mouse run across the footpath near the pool. Was kind of gross but not the hotels fault. Can’t help nature I guess

I wasn’t going to write this review because the girls in reception were the only aspect I thought was ok with the disgraceful experience. Are you really serious about charging $230 a night for this garbage.. truly ??
1) The bed was an absolute disgrace and should’ve been thrown on the tip years ago. I now have a sore back after trying to get any sleep on that disgrace. The springs in the mattress must have given way years ago . I find it hard to believe that no one has else complained. There was only 1 extra pillow in the wardrobe.. quite alarming for a $230 a night motel?.
We couldn’t use the aircon because there was no controls in the room and the ceiling fan didn’t have a low setting.
The toilet seat doesn’t go all the way up. If you’re sitting you need to lean forward because the seat hits you in the back . If you’re standing you need to hold the seat so it doesn’t fall .. again , I can’t believe no one else has complained. The shower/ spa looked unclean . The room door doesn’t have a tight seal.. you can see light coming from the gap to the hallway and the noise from other motel guests comes straight into the room .
Room 5b floor 1 is a complete shocking disgrace . We didn’t even have a room with a view of the ocean . I will not be back and I will not be recommending this motel to anyone that asks me. I don’t even expect a reply from you guys as I believe you must be getting reviews like this all the time.
Not a happy customer ( prior customer)

Lovely modern room, had everything thing I needed including a some laundry detergent dishwasher liquid, coffee, tea sugar and milk provided.
Did a late check-in all went smoothly except the fob to garage didn't work, but there was parking available not undercover and was immediately sorted by reception no fuss when I talked to them next morning. I didn't feel the need to ring after hrs

Pros:
Air-Con, clean and well presented, tv in both lounge and bedroom, large bathroom inc waser and dryer. Ample pillows and blankets comfortable bed. Heated spa by main pool. Location cross the road to patrolled swimming beach and of course Friendly helpful reception staff.

Cons:
I had to go home eventually.

1.the place is a rabbit warren with doors and stairs up & down everywhere and very easy to have no idea where you are.

2. Room had no table to eat or drink off; or any suitable area/table/desk to work off.

3. The small spa bath was a 'death trap' with a very deep to get in, no handles or rails, nowhere to seat; and so for the same reasons, very difficult to get out safely.

4. The small fridge is a disgrace - no shelves in the door at all except a bottom shelf that only had a 2-3cm rail so you could put nothing in it (and as mentioned) there were no other shelves; and the other shelves in the fridge were also dysfunctional heights, partly because of the totally useless door.

5.There no actual CHAIRS to sit down at (and as mentioned no table either) - just two old barely adequate lounge chairs.
