We loved our stay at Mandolin resort! The location was terrific for beach access and an easy walk to restaurants, shopping & groceries. The unit was clean, well appointed with everything we needed, and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed the amenities: tennis & mini putt too.

Apartment was in a great location. Clean and appropriate to our needs. Staff were helpful & communication was excellent. There was easy access to public transport if you’re travelling without a vehicle. Close proximity to the beach & Alexandra Headlands surf club. Great food options at club & eateries near by. Walking distance to Mooloolaba & Cotton Tree.

Pool and kids areas were great. The room was a bit run down with a broken sliding door, and the bedroom ceiling fan was very noisy. Great location.

This apartment was excellent. Very spacious and clean, and beds were super comfortable. The pool was kept immaculate and was a great size with lounges available. Location was great, with shops nearby and surf club/beach directly across the road. Would definitely stay here again.
Got to the room and second bathroom wasn't completed for use. Contacted property and immediately offered us support and sorted out the situation so we were very happy. Great location would stay again

Wonderful unit, great location, our third time staying at the Mandolin and we’ll be back again.
Amazing position across from beach, good sized unit, balcony, kitchen well equipped and clean, appreciated the bath tub, good pools, BBQ, tennis court and games room.
Not so good: noise from busy road that was between complex and beach.
