They show beautiful pictures of the rooms and pools in the main building, but might put you in an old seperate building which isn't well maintained anymore - incl. pool and parking lot not clean resp. in bad condition. At least the rooms have been clean - so the cleaning staff did a good job.

Luxury beachfront hotel where you can walk for miles along the magnificent Mission Beach shoreline. Ideally located near the stinger net for swimming at the beach during the stinger season and within walkable distance to nearby alternative dining options. Gorgeous, refurbished pool to cool off in and plenty of comfy seating areas to gaze out to the views of Dunk Island. Most importantly the staff are attentive and super friendly!

The accommodation was great, far better than expected (and we did our homework looking at reviews prior). The restaurant and bar were expensive and it would have been great to see a local ale or 2 on tap. That said, the resort is a short walk from town. And that walk is part of the experience of mission beach.

The location and view from my room was stunning. A sweet sleepy town with magnificent beach. The room was very dark and poorly lit. There were 2 pools and one could be just for children and one for adults trying to enjoy a peaceful holiday. I didn’t account for the noisy kids factor at this time of year, my bad. In room dining would have helped also.

We arrived late on evening after our road trip. The hotel was wonderful and the staff was great. Dinner was also wonderful. The only issue we had is the shower water drained all over the bathroom floor. Thus we had to use the clean white towels to soak up the water. Bad shower design. Other than that everything was wonderful.

The location was faultless & stepping from veranda into pool was fantastic. However, it doesn’t look like the floors in the unit ever see a mop & generally was very run down. The food was terrific in the restaurant but the service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed to put more emphasis on putting menu & cutlery out than serving the waiting guests. 3 times in a matter of hours 2 seperate bar staff looked right at me waiting, not only did they continue but then walked right past me multiple times without acknowledgement. All you have to do is let people know you see them & will be with them asap
