Questions of the users

About The Beach Retreat Coolum

I noticed that there's an availability listing for ocean view apartments online for my planned stay, but I was informed at the hotel that none are vacant. Can you clarify why that might be the case?

Is there a specific charge for a security deposit or key bond when checking in?

5 January 2025
