Coolum Beach Resort

Arrived with 2 teen boys for my mum's ( their Nan's funeral) was looking forward to unwind in the pool. Kids headed straight to the pool. It was empty noone in the pool area. We went upstairs to organise more funeral plans for the following day so seeing the boys finally tap out and laughing In the pool after such sadness was great. Boys were doing a Marnu so unlike a bomb they just jump in land in their Bum to see the splash . Absolutely harmless, not one other guest in the pool area. Suddenly the came upstairs upset " Mum a rude old man popped his head out of a room and yelled STOP BOMBING OR GET OUT" and slammed the door. My boys immediately came up told us. Now 14 and 16 years old shown full respect by not talking back and came straight upstairs. Later that day I learnt it was the owner / caretaker as he passed me and my boys on the stairs and had no decency to pull me aside or mention it. Now I teach my teen boys respect. But it's so sad how a grown man owner of a HOLIDAY property has shown little to them. My advice : of future interaction with a couple of respectful kids having harmless fun in the pool would be " hey boys, how you going, look guys the rules are no bombing to keep water in the pool so if you could stop thanks guys" that's how you my friend need to learn to talk to people. Expecially the owner as it's a holiday resort not a hospital it's a happy place to expect kids that be having fun. And treated like a valued paying customer. If understand if they gave to cheek and were rude but they didn't and you didn't even approach this in a way t see that, you were barking orders aggressively like a rude old man That way you not only gain respect but you also show these boys communication and respect is a 2 way thing. Instead of your obnoxious yelling and rude barking orders. The next day I was with my boys in the pool and I said no bombing. As this is the pool rules and the issue the previous day. I quickly popped upstairs to tweak my mother's funeral speech and the phone rang it was the owner complaining about my boys in the pool jumping 🙄 . I called my boys straight up and they said they just jumped in a few times as it's 10am, sunny day, noone in.pool, noone in pool area, and the rude man yelled again "Hey I said no jumping yesterday so get out" my 16 year old replied " sorry but I just jumped in I'm not hurting anyone" the rude man said " get out now you shouldn't be in here alone" Now the gate said under 12 or 13 not allowed unsupervised. My boys are 14,16 I was upstairs above them with foot open popping my head in and out. So on short form If you are looking for a fun place to stay while your kids are in holidays. The male owner is a grumpy rude man that will disrespectful address your children, in a rude aggressive tone instead of simply have a chat to these harmless young kids. He need to learn to communicate not rudly bark orders. Fun for kids, this is not the place. He is very lucky 16 year old kids on the news are arrogant, rude, aggressive, defiant, Steel, fight adults ECT. My boys are good kids here for their Nan's funeral simply jumping in a pool having a tiny bit of positive fun before saying goodbye to their Nan and responded to this man's poor rude so so respectfully yet he continued to display such barking orders Would not bring my kids to this resort. Owners to crumpy and the wife knew we were there for a funeral but we were seen as a dollar figure now bound to cop his rudeness instead of a guest they valued. If you want youth to respect you. Then be an example in how you first address them.

Great value in the heart of Coolum. We had a single bed apartment on the first floor. The staff at check in were friendly & helpful. The unit was spacious, light and airy, very clean and well appointed with all the amenities you could need. As others have noted, these are a walk-up apartments, so it can be a challenge if you’re bring a lot of gear and not suited to elderly or people with mobility problems. Although not on absolute waterfront, it is less than 100m stroll to the surf club & beautiful Coolum Beach & the surf club. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around in easy walking distance, this is a great value stay in the heart of Coolum. Definitely will be back.

Really nice Location! I got room 10, a townhouse with kitchen and living room at the top! One bedroom with single bed and double bed, and another bedroom with a double bed. Has a fully functional Tv upstairs and downstairs, and really fast wifi! Really nice view of Coolum, and a balcony for looking out the beach! Also has a pool and a working spa both next to the room, with a fence and gate to protect your children. It also has a Greek restaurant, a spa and a yoga place. A sauna can also be located next to the pool, and I had a really nice experience there!
