Staff were very friendly and helpful, property is new so rooms designed for maximum clever use of the space available. Very comfortable. Area immediately around hotel is a new development zone so a bit of a jumble, but easily walkable to main part of Maroochydore & safe, off-street (paid) parking very close to hotel.

Could of been a better selection of pillows as they werent very nice to sleep on. No extra selection of blankets. Service was good and the breakfast was average but would of been nice to have all selections every day and not every 2nd day. The bed was also very hard and when the air con was on was very loud on the lowest setting. The hotel was walking distance to everywhere which was greatt.
