Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Beautiful apartment with views out over the beach, facing north. We had a three bedroom unit that had plenty of space for our family. Great facilities including pool, spa, multiple bbq areas, mini theatre stocked with plenty of movies, pool table and lounge area. Central position in Coolangatta with fantastic range of cafes and restaurants nearby. Straight across the road to multiple patrolled beaches.

Loved walking into our appartment and seeing the amazing view of the beach, WOW factor by the enitre family. Kids had their bedroom on the otherside of the apparment and their own ensuite!!! Pool area is a tad run down but they still enjoyed it and it was heated a little. Appartment clean and well equipped. Fav part was the Theatre, we loved this! Staff were all very friendly and happy to assist with anything. Loved having everything in walking distance and the beach 1min away. Thank you......We will definitely return!!

The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. They will go out of their way to find an apartment to meet your expectations. The view from the beach apartments are magnificent. If it’s just gazing out to sea to watch the whales breaching or enjoying a beautiful sunset from our balcony. Walking along the beach just metres from our apartment. Fabulous… We look forward to our next visit

Reflections on the Sea offers terrific holiday accommodation, with beautiful ocean and beach views enjoyed from the balcony in a comfortable, well-appointed apartment. The property is located handy to shops in Coolangatta and across the border in New South Wales, and a good selection of eateries. Public transport (bus) is accessible in Griffith Street, and picturesque walks can be enjoyed to nearby Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and Point Danger. We also do the 10km return walk to Tugun, pausing for delicious cakes in the Tugun bakery. Reflections on the Sea is expertly managed by Jodie and her team, who create a friendly and relaxing ambience. The apartments are serviced by efficient cleaning and maintenance staff. WiFi is free. For those requiring extra facilities, there's an on-site swimming pool, underground carpark (one space allocated per apartment), barbecue, spa, gymnasium and a cinema is available for private bookings. Car-parking spaces across the road are great if visitors are dropping by. We look forward very much to future visits.

When we rolled up to the Resort we were greeted by Jodie. The actual Building manager. After check in we just felt at home. Such a friendly face and welcoming smile. We were allocated apartment on level 13. I have researched other reviews on here and other sites so I was a bit cautious But I have got to say. I could not fault a thing. The amenities are immaculate and the staff seem to actually be happy to be there. I’ve stayed in many places all over. And I know put Reflections tower 1 in my top 3. Thank you so much and expect me and my other associates back. 10 STARS

Top location. What let this experience down was the shabby decor, the stained and tired carpet, worn blinds & sofas. The beds were the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in, I’ve been in the travel industry since the 90’s, people expect more when paying these nightly rates! If you don’t mind these things well and good, but I’ll be looking for somewhere more upmarket and a heck more comfortable.

Amanda N Craig B wrote a review Mar 2023
Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia1 contribution
Stayed for one week with family in 2 apartments (3 bedroom and a 2 bedroom), due to them being individually owned we couldn't get the 2 apartments on the same floor. Booked through Booking.com was told by reception it would be an extra $1500 for the 3 bedroom apartment to book direct, we paid over $2300 for the 3 bedroom and just over $2k for the 2 bedroom. Both apartments were self contained with plenty of cooking utensils. The 3 bedroom apartment (room 305) needs a lot of work, you can see it isn't overly loved. The washing machine and dryer trip the power safety switch multiple times when using, the carpet is a trip hazard and was severely stained throughout the apartment. The air-conditioning vents drip if put under 23 degrees. The main bed was only a queen size and really uncomfortable. The first bedroom is too far away from router so our son couldn't connect to the WiFi and the TV in that bedroom is useless as it needs internet and can't connect due to being too far away from router. The 2 bedroom apartment was nice and well looked after but if you are sharing the second bedroom which my brothers were there is no privacy with the shower as you can see straight into the shower from the bedroom side which is very strange. Both apartments had two bathrooms. The apartments aren't serviced and they only give you enough washing powder, dish tablets/liquid and toilet paper for two days... if you want more you have to buy it. Maintenance don't work on weekends to fix anything. Booking.com showed cable TV in rooms but we didn't have any cable channels, we were able to cast our phone to the TV though for the kids to watch netflix etc. The facilities are nice and it is in a great location but for the price I expected a lot more.

Our two-bedroom apartment had lovely view overlooking the ocean from the large balcony. The apartment was spacious and clean and had a separate laundry. There was a clothes airer, shopping trolley, pool toys and games for children supplied. The location is ideal as the beach is just across the road, as too is the boardwalk. Tweed Heads is just a five-minute walk and there you will find a small shopping center with the three major supermarkets for your needs. There is secure underground parking and MacDonalds is inside the complex, and there are several cafes outside the comples.
