The guy on the front desk is not very friendly or approachable. I paid for an extra person to stay and was not provided with an extra bed. However the lady that stopped what she was doing to show me and my children to our room was very friendly and really helpful. The location is superb so close to the beach it’s amazing.

room clean but had signs of wear and tear like patch up jobs on walls and lot of scuffs and marks. bed average, could feel some springs poking through. TV was broken. great views, well equipped and great location. Facilities good but sauna was not working. Reception was not manned during the advertised hours.
Expedia listing conflicted with the hotels listing. Expedia said 5 persons but actual room was only for 4 so we had one less bed and had to use couch. Hotel said we needed to pay extra for another bed. Expedia did refund us partially for this.

We had a lovely stay but there were a few issues - reception is only open from 2pm-5pm, no batteries in tv remote, very little toilet paper with no additional rolls available (5 people in the apartment), we had to empty the dishwasher from the previous occupancy. The apartment was very comfortable though and the grounds and facilities lovely.

The pool, spa and sauna were great, well maintained. The room was spacious but dusty. Dishes still in dish washer from previous guests and not well washed. Floor had barely been vaccumed and there was melted chocolate on leather couch.

Pros
Close to the beach and dining areas. Local to beaches and not too far from bigger areas like noosa and Maroochydore.
CONS:
Roof in main bedroom filthy with dust or mould, tv in bedroom and the blinds dusty. Cabinet behind the couch has mould and dust all over, tables were dusty inside and out. No cleaning items for the kitchen. Shelves in bedroom were dusty

Pros: easy check in, onsite parking, most facilities you need, bed was super comfortable although bedside tables rather than tall boy would be better
Cons: 2 towels for 3 guests, bathroom bins still had sanitary products from previous guests so clearly hadn’t been cleaned, both doonas have yellow stains as did a couple of pillows. Tv remote is temperamental. Switch to power the oven and hot plates is dangerous and unsafe - sizzles and crackle and hard to switch off.
Had a comfortable stay after working around the issues.

The unit itself was lovely. But we had no towels, no soap, no coffee, old soap still in soap holder from previous stay and not cleaned, no tea towel but had to clean before we left. Had to scrub microwave before we could use it as was filthy and plate had old cooked food all over it. Outside table still had food and drink spills all over it. Reception was supposed to be open from 9-12 on weekends no one in site. Thankfully we managed to get some towels on the second day. Position and area was lovely just very sad the cleanliness and staffing let it down.

A lovely resort adjacent to the beach with easy access to walking track and the patrolled beach.
The unit was homely rather than super modern but perfectly suitable. The cleaning of some areas e.g. balcony was not up to scratch but all living areas were well cleaned.
We found the pool an excellent size with a gym and hot spa part of that complex. Very convenient. At times, the pool was a little cloudy and we wondered whether it was being serviced sufficiently at this peak time of year. A few other signs of under maintenance were apparent at times e.g. pool fence gate locking was dodgy.
We parked one car underneath and the other in the visitors car park as advised and although the latter was very full we always found a park.
Our unit was on the beach side not the highway side and we heard no road noise.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. We will look for less expensive options for next year's vacation but would happily go back to this place if needs be.

We arrived at 2:30pm on a Saturday and the reception was closed. The caretaker said he tried to call me but I didn’t receive a call.
The townhouse wasn’t clean. Empty toiletry bottles were left in the shower, wet towels in the dryer and a laundry sink full of someone else’s belongings. There were no additional bin liners, no sponges for cleaning dishes or wiping benches. The bed was so creaky when you moved that I was conscious of it all night.
The house it self was nice and spacious and served its purpose. The pool and spa were great and the proximity to the beach was wonderful.

Unit 118 - The resort facilities and gardens were great and well kept, easy acces to the beach and walking path are the only reason I am giving this review 3 stars. On booking our stay we requested a porta cot for our 6 month old daughter, however on checking in to the room there was no porta cot available. My husband questioned reception about the lack of porta cot to which he was informed that the resort did not have any porta cots at all. We had to make a make shift bed for her from a couch cushion and cot sheet we had brought with us. The unit itself was tidy but tired. The couch was broken and faded, the carpets pulled and stained, the screen doors to the balcony didn't latch properly and the fly screens were very loose. The light in the master bedroom did not work. Board games were available, however torn, and many parts were missing. During our stay, the oven would overheat and switch itself off. The oven knobs were extremely hot as well as surrounding surfaces. The washing mashing would cut out and we would have to restart it mid cycle a few times. On the last 6 lost power to half the unit, including the washing machine, dryer and power outlets in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We switched everything off at the walls in the unit to problem solve what could be tripping the safety switch but couldn't find the issue. As the power was lost after we had gone to bed, it meant our fridge was without power for several hours and some food items lost. Reception was closed! No help

After a reasonably efficient but not overly friendly check-in, we were confronted by a room that looked and felt dirty. The carpet looked like a crime scene and the walls weren't much better. We also discovered the fridge wasnt working so the management were kind enough to move us to another room.
Although the new room didn't have a roof top area, it was in a significantly better and cleaner state so we really felt like we dodged a bullet. Unfortunately, the room was far from perfect and we discovered used towels/tea towels and a dirty toliet/shower which grossed us out a little but it was still better than the "penthouse" apartment.
Apart from that, the view from the room was magnificent and the surrounding grounds were beautiful. Overall, Marcoola is a beautiful spot to visit but I wouldnt be rushing back to Marcoola Beach Resort.

Positives: The Resort’s grounds and general amenities are very good and well maintained. The Resort has direct access to one of the best beach environments on the Sunshine Coast. We had great views of the ocean and Mudjimba Island from our 5th floor apartment balcony. A number of interesting cafes and bars are located nearby.
Negatives: Apartment 107 that we rented for a short stay was very disappointing. The apartment had only been partially cleaned. There was empty takeaway packaging left on the balcony. The kitchen benches needed wiping down. The refrigerator had food scraps left on the shelves. The dining room table had food residue stuck on the surface and needed wiping down. The oven grill had not been cleaned. The balcony glass panels and sliding doors were almost opaque from the salt air and needed cleaning. The screen doors to the balcony were stuck together at the latch due to rust and initially had to be prized apart to enter the balcony. The split A/C systems remote control was missing. The A/C unit condenser located on the balcony was heavily rusted and barely functional. The A/C unit really should be replaced. The black faux leather lounge was thread bare in places and had a coloured cloth and cushions hiding where the surface had delaminated.
Conclusion: The Resort does not appear to have minimum standard that apartments are required to maintain before they are made available for holiday rentals. We will not rent here again.

No staff at desk, room very tired and stained. Sofa and Outdoor table falling apart. Bedroom shutters didn't fully close and light came through from hallway so I had to sleep on the couch to get darkness.
