Weekend away

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Jul 2019via mobile
The view and location are great, big balcony overlooking the beach and in walking distance to cafes and restaurants. The manager, Gene, was also very friendly. Unfortunately if we’d have known the pool was closed due to refurbishment we wouldn’t have booked here as we could have stayed somewhere with better facilities for the same price. I think people should be advised of this when booking as the apartments are advertised as having a pool so it is expected. Parking is also an issue. We ended up in 3 different parks throughout our stay. Not sure why we weren’t allocated the right spot from the beginning. The room we stayed in could use some work. Tables in the dining and living rooms were rusty and the door frames also show rust. The second bedroom also didn’t have a fan controller. The apartment was quite small compared to other 2 bedroom apartments we’ve stayed in. We still had a nice weekend however.

The website promised so much but the reality was very different: pool was under renovation, with the jack hammer going in the morning. Significant trip hazard in the main thoroughfare (photo). No sauna, no WiFi. As for new appliances see the photos. For the off peak rate of $290 this was poor value. Check in required 4 phone calls on arrival and another to discuss check out. To their credit, they discounted the room after complaining. The outdated room was warm however and situated in an excellent area.

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and enjoyed it again. Directly across the road from the beach, with secure parking underneath, it is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and tidy. We’ve stayed in the double room (room 6) which has a queen bed in one room and 2 singles in another. The room is fully self contained with a kitchenette too.

The balcony looks straight over the beach & there’s a bar / restaurant on the ground floor. Shops and other restaurants are just around the corner.

A great place to stay.

Stayed here for 3 nights this week in Unit 17, a one bedroom unit. This block is just across from the beach, close to shops and restaurants and is clean and quiet. However, at $600 for the 3 mid week nights, not cheap. The wi fi is terrible and keeps dropping out and the bed was so cheap and hard I didn't sleep much at all, my body is still aching. A couple of sun lounges on the balcony instead of the hard little chairs would have been great to lounge on and admire the view.

We had a girls' weekend here in Unit 6 recently and were very pleasantly surprised! We had a 2 bedroom apartment (Unit 6) which was right on the front and quiet from any traffic noise. It was also roomy, was spotlessly clean, and with a bonus - FANTASTIC spacious deck looking out over the Pacific in all its glory! We didn't have a chance to indulge in the spa or pool, but DID spend quite a bit of time downstairs in the bar and restaurant.

We had an AWESOME weekend. Beds were comfy, pillows were cloud soft, reception were friendly, helpful and engaging. Would stay again here in a heartbeat!

Room tip: Unit 6!!! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you, Michelle, for taking the time to review us . We are working hard to give our guests the best possible experience and work with our apartment owners to keep the rooms updated. We love our location on the absolute beach front and with the onsite restaurant and bar , My PLace is an asset as well. We look forward to having you stay again, next time you come to Coolum beach.
