The 9 best Resorts in Mooloolaba, Australia

May 1, 2023 Renato Branum

Magical Mooloolaba is the perfect combination of sophisticated serenity and vibrant energy. The beach gleams under the pulsing sun, and sparkling sapphire water beckons swimmers, surfers, bodyboarders and casual waders alike. Snorkelers and jetskiers will delight in the beautiful waters, while those who prefer even racier adventures can dive with sharks and mingle with undersea creatures. Plus, "Mooloolaba" is awfully fun to say.

So Dissapointing

Reviewed By Trevor S

I stayed at Oceans some eleven years ago, it was Wow Wow Wow. Amazing, pristine and sparkling. Was there last week and Wow again, wow how can a place go deteriorate so much to become a three star block of apartments. Reading previous comments I am a total loss at to what apartments they stayed in. The furniture i n 604 as you will see from the photo is no way luxurious it is ninetys furniture and certainly not comfortable, one does not expect plastic dining chairs, nor plastic serving bowls etc to have food on. The kitchen cupboards where food is stored have rusty hinges on all the doors, it was horrible. The mirror in the bathroom had all the silver worn away so the glass at the bottom was brown, the frame on the floor of the shower had not been cleaned out for months, the grime was so thick. Overall the the servicing of the apartments lacked attention, once in ten days were the tiled floors swept, the carpet which was actually dirty once had the cleaner on it. The paintwork I believe to be original from when the block was built some nineteen years ago, it was faded, marked and unclean all along the floor. The balcony furniture one table four chairs we just ordinary inexpensive furniture, a view like they have one should have better furniture. The tiles in the swimming pool were broken and missing in places, not a good look and to make matters worse the internet was impossible. When I informed reception what was happening they said they have to reboot the modem, then it worked, it did for some twenty hours and then no internet again, this went on every day, one receptionist did inform that I was because of covid and I was using it at a busy time, in the end we used Sunshine Coast free internet. The brochure on offer is the same one as eleven years ago, but unfortunately the apartments were not. It wasn't clean, it was not serviced as it should have been, reception staff and housekeeping said the place needed a renovation, it sure did. Whilst in Mooloolaba we checked out another apartment block on the esplanade, it was half the price and what we saw was pristine. I hope the Body Corp read this review and take some action if only to save themselves but more importantly to give the customer what they have paid for.

Cockroaches on our face in our sleep

Dirty rooms, musty smelling, pubic hair in bath, leaking toilet and cockroaches. Husband woke up yelling and grabbed one off of his face. Not the best introduction to Australia for my English husband. We couldn’t sleep after that so checked out.

Best choice on the Sunshine Coast

Reviewed By Stace K

We stayed for 5 nights and were thoroughly impressed with the apartment. We had a two bedroom ocean view and it was stunning. Balcony that overlooks directly onto the ocean and an additional balcony in the main bedroom. The apartment truly caters for 2 couples, both bedrooms are spacious and have ensuites directly connected for maximum privacy. The apartment was modern and beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable for a nice long stay. The included movies and robes really set this place apart as a great choice. Also extremely handy to have a washer and dryer. The location in Mooloolaba can't be beaten and I would highly recommend staying here. We would happily return, the service was professional, warm and friendly also. The only thing to be aware of that the underground carpark has THE tightest exit I have ever seen in my life, the huge chunks taken out of the concrete wall by poor previous drivers are proof of this! If you have anything larger than a Micra, be prepared to sweat coming out of the carpark.

Great location & amenity

One week with cloudy skies and rough seas, but staff had plenty of suggestions for alternate activities. Excellent staff (Hi Zoe and Sandra). Have Foxtel, but would be much better served by using system to Meriton, where guest can link any subscribed streaming service to TV. Works flawlessly.

The Pacific Beach Resort has such great views from the balcony and the rooms have everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Your host Craig & Debi make you feel so very welcome during your stay and are so helpful with any local information they can provide. We have stayed at other accommodation venues in Mooloolaba but value for money its just hard to go past the Pacific Beach Resort. The photo is of the view from our balcony as we had breakfast each morning. I might add its was our first stay with Craig & Debi but it will not be our last!!

Position was wonderful with a view over the swimming pool, looking down the canal with the mountains in the background. The layout was great including for a dog who loved exploring inside and outside. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay close to the shops and beach.
