This property is exceptional. The units are individually owned so there are variations but generally very good. Air conditioned with ceiling fans. Washing machines and dryers. We stayed in 49 and 44 and were happy with both. Fabulous views, lovely staff, great location, exceptional outdoor facilities including heated pool, spa, children’s pool, full size tennis court and mini putt putt course which my children loved! Great covered gas BBQ areas with plenty of seating. Good Vietnamese restaurant very close by and Alexandra Headland Surf Club over the road with pedestrian crossing lights right at the door of the apartments. Very good food there too. Coles Mooloolaba five minutes up the road. Cleaning is first class, quality linen. On site free parking. Property manager Cathy and receptionist Ruby were a pleasure to deal with. Onsite caretakers also very helpful.

No guest parking onsite but surf club has parking over the road. The single beds in unit 44 have passed their use by date and need replacing. The QS bed in master bedroom was super comfy by comparison. Not much to not like about this property. Some units in various stages of renovation so ask if you prefer something fresher.

The Location was excellent & pool. Spotless inside. BUT our Apartment P56 . The view was amazing. The owner needs to really revamp the whole apartment. Very old. . The shower doors were broken, the furniture was very shabby & broken bits on cupboard's & bedroom drawers knobs fell off! We loved the size of apartment just so disappointed that it was badly in need of decorating. We will be returning again next September & staying at Mandolin Resort. Would love the same P56 for the view & size. The surf club opposite was great food great. Our Granddaughter took Surf lessons each morning so perfect just crossed over to the surf club & beach. Eating places all around the area. Fabulous location. Staff were lovely and car parking under neath the Apartment was perfect. Loved Mooloolaba.

Nothing really just disappointed in the condition of our apartment. Apart from that everything was magical at the Mandolin Resort.

We stayed in room 56 for 4 nights at the end of May. We came here for a sporting tournament. Mandolin property is dated but that's in-line with many other short stay properties around Alex Head and Maroochydore. On that basis and taking into account Mandolin is rated 3 stars, this was a great property because of its location directly across from Alex Head Surfs Club and the beach. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed in it. The apartment was clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine and dryer located in our bathroom were crucial for our circumstances. The view was fantastic. Also good to have a secured underground parking. The value for money is also a big plus. We'll definitely book this room again for next year's tournament.

The kitchen appliances and utensils were very dated, some are not usable. The TV remote was falling apart. Just small and minor updates would be great.

It was a very comfortable Unit. The view was excellent. The beds were clean and we all had a good sleep. It was close to eating facilities.

There were no tissues. I did not book using the phone and there was no one on the desk and I had to phone to get the code for the lock box, and to give you my identity. You have to expect that older people like to be met. We are all not great using the phone or computer.

2nd floor room looking directly at the Surf Club. I thought we might be kept awake being so close to the road but it was fine. Not much of a view from this level. If you are after a view then ask to be put higher. We didn't mind as we weren't there for the view. If you are in Alex Heads for a surf carnival at the surf club then definitely can't fault Mandolin.

Air conditioning was only in the lounge room and wasn't effective at keeping the bedrooms cool, even leaving it on all day every day. Thankfully there were fans in the bedrooms but another unit in the bedrooms would have been better. There was an issue with the water on one of our afternoons. We had to wait for the manager to arrive back on site to sort it. It was probably 30 minutes before we had water again. The fact that the manager knew what was wrong indicates there is an ongoing issue and it should be rectified so it doesn't re-occur.

apartment was so spacious, we were expecting a small 1 bedroom room, but walked into a large 2 bedroom apartment. So much space & storage and a balcony looking towards the beach.

the bed was a little uncomfortable someone had parked in a our park so we had to call to see where we could park, then received a nasty note from someone asking to move our car. We ran out of toilet paper too when we called at 2pm on Sunday we got an after hours voice message

Staff were fantastic, location perfect right opposite surf club perfect for dinner, the views were amazing, south side apartments don't get as much sun but the view makes up for it and I guess in the summer it would be cooler, pool and BBQ area clean and well equipped, easy access from carpark to room trolleys available to get bags to rooms.

There are only enough amenities for one night, so be prepared to drive to the supermarket. No cleaning products.

Our stay at the Mandolin was over Christmas and we had our four children and their families with us. All five units were clean on arrival and all the families were happy with their own units. Our unit had a lovely view, was lovely and clean and was quite spacious. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was a good size. The kitchen was also a good size with everything we needed for our stay, lots of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The resort has a great sized pool, a lovely warm spa, table tennis, games room, putt putt and tennis, so the children were very well occupied all of the time. The resort is right across from the Alexandra Headlands Surf Club where we all went to dinner one night and of course the beach, where the children loved to swim and body board. The staff were so friendly and helpful and all in all we had a fantastic stay at the Mandolin, one of our best Christmases together :) :) :)

The views!!! Sunrises and sunsets over the water. Beautiful big apartment. All the amenities. Fantastic for kids - pools, tennis court, mini golf, games room! And right across from the surf club. Would definitely come back.

Would have preferred large refillable shampoo and conditioner etc rather than small disposable bottles.

Location, under ground parking
