Ramada By Wyndham Marcoola Beach

8/10 Good

"The room was dated but the location and pool were pretty good. The room was not serviced for the 3 night stay and I’m not sure how many nights you need to stay until they do service the room. They do give you pool towels and I believe we got one free replacement during our stay."

Noosa Lakes Resort

8/10 Good

"The apartment was nice and well equipped. Very clean and the bed was comfortable. Very close to the marina and nice restaurants. Try Maharani across the road. My only complaint was our apartment was above the heated pool and lots of screaming kids in the afternoon. (It was school holidays) I'd ask for a place away from the heated pool if I stayed again."
