We only stayed at Ramada Marcoola for one night and overall had an average experience: the room was quite big, and seemed to be recently renovated. However, the customer service was average to poor and the price quite high for what you get. The whole complex is made of few "towers", and the reception mentioned something like the units are...

We stayed at Ramada Marcoola for only one night, I don't think I could have stayed longer. The room itself was fine, small but fair for the price we paid. The bed was horrible and should have been replaced years ago, my wife and I hardly slept a wink. The bed was like a lumpy hammock it was so worn... More

We stayed at what was once the Surfair, now renamed the Ramada Marcoola. This place is very rundown, and even though they are starting to refurbish, they have a long way to go. But even then the corner rooms in the main hotel tower are tiny. We were put in a supposedly refurbished room, but the fridge was broken, the... More

Dear Peter G, Thank you for your review and feedback on your recent stay. Yes we do have some challenges with the smaller corner hotel rooms in meeting some of our guest’s expectations unfortunately the size and shape of the rooms is something we cannot change. The corner hotel rooms are our Standard Economy hotel rooms and are 26sqm. They... More

The service was very good with friendly staff, while the hotel room was clean and well appointed it is only a cupboard, go for a bigger room so you can enjoy the place. Coffee provided was really good and surprising. WiFi is not free and is very expensive, big minus as other places have it for free nowadays, thankfully we... More

Dear Adolozz, Thank you for your review and feedback on your recent stay. Our Standard Economy hotel rooms are 26sqm, they are our lead in hotel rooms and are priced accordingly. Many people staying one or two nights find them quite adequate for the price and location to the beach. But definitely booking one of our apartments whilst more expensive... More

I was travelling with my elderly Mum and, at the time of booking our room, requested a twin room with a balcony. We were allocated one by confirming email and were looking forward to our time away. When we arrived we found ourselves in room without a balcony. We do not watch television nor do we go out in the... More

Stayed for the weekend with my wife and toddler. A great ocean view apartment, with plenty of space for the little one to play safely. Direct access to the beach - no roads to cross. Reasonably short drives to Coolum, Noosa and Maroochydore, which makes up for the limited eating options in Marcoola. Service was excellent, and worked hard to... More

We had a short break here and it was fantastic. All of the staff were helpful and friendly, the resort well looked after and clean and the meals were delicious. Our room had gorgeous ocean views and the pool large and warm. No road to cross to get to the beach and we'll be back again.

Stayed for the weekend and loved the relaxed atmosphere. The accommodation is fairly basic yet clean and the balcony is quite small but the views from the ocean view hotel room are fantastic and make up for this.

We stayed in a hotel room in the South tower for a weekend getaway. The room was small and pokey (the smallest they had, despite our membership status with Wyndham) with limited amenities and a shared balcony between a full floor of rooms. I dont recommend staying in this part of the resort. The staff weren't overly friendly; it felt... More
