We booked here last minute for an impromptu night away. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and airy. (As a bonus there was no musty dank smell which I find commonly in hotels, especially the bathrooms!) Great view. Great location. We will definitely be back - and for a much longer visit.

We stayed in a 1 bedroom unit with ocean view for 3 nights. The view was magnificent. We were able to sit on our balcony and have full view of the beach (worth the extra dollars). A noisy road was between us and the beach but we didn't hear it at night (close the doors and turn on the air/con).The... More

It was our first stay in Coolum as we have family who just moved to the Sunshine Coast to live.

We stayed in a 2 bed apartment with my baby and my parents, rooms were large and airy great views of the ocean and good facilities, could have been a bit cleaner, but would go back again for sure. The location is awesome some nice restaurants near by and short walk to bowls club, slsc, Coles etc. would recommend

I had booked a studio room but, when we arrived, we were told that we had an ugrade to a one bedroom unit. This was impressive as it only cost $450 for three nights over Easter. How's... More

After reading mostly positive reviews on tripadvisor and a recomendation in Lonely Planet, we made a last minute booking directly with The Beach Retreat on a quiet Sunday when there were plenty of vacancies and paid $180 for a 1 beroom ocean view apartment. We were advised that Reception closes at 4pm on Sunday so we altered our plans to... More

We stayed for 2 nights in a studio room and paid only $125 per night. The room was basic, but comfortable, clean and tidy. The bed was good and bathroom a good size. If we stayed again I would pay a little more for a 1 bedroom ocean view, because we had ocean glimpses from our balcony and I was... More

the rain was ongoing but this place is well set up with a warm heated full size swimming pool, a sauna, a spa and under cover walk way to Sunrise Cafe & Bar which over looks Coolum Beach...we enjoy our rest.
