Beach Retreat Coolum

8/10 Good
"Amazing spot ! Great views from the balcony of the beach Downfall was the comfort of the mattress . Very old and woke up with a sore back daily. Unfortunately the trundle bed was padlocked. Which would have been an alternative sleeping option. The staff were amazing. That's so much for going above and beyond for making out stay fabulous."

10/10 Excellent
"Location was close to the beach and 2 blocks from shops. The restaurants were the other side of the shops. Pool and spa were good. My room was a 2BR and well equipped with kitchen, laundry, bbq. Rooms were spacious. Bathroom a little dated but water pressure fantastic. Comfortable bed with floor to ceiling windows. Traffic a little loud but ceased to silence. I could hear only the waves at 5am when I woke to head over for a beach walk."

"Accomodation was great location for the beach and/or shops. The apartment was also great for views, and facilities e.g. washing machine, dryer, iron etc. Hower the accomodation had minor faults in the interior such as loos tap and/or kitchen worktop - although this didn't impact my stay I was afraid I'd get a bill for the damage even though I didn't cause it -- I didn't get charged. Also I'd recommend that the owners inform people that the appeartmnet doors lock automatically once shut to prevent anyone getting locked dout of their apprqnent , as they left the key on the draw etc. also the reception was never open, and I only managed to speak with 1 person I. Reception once throughout my 5 days stay -- so not sure how help can be provided duf no staff are around. "
