GREAT ESCAPE
We often go to both Sunshine & Gold Coast for short getaways and have tried lots of accommodation places - Mandolin was one of the better ones that we have encountered. Excellent views of the beach & sea both to the north and south from our room. Great location directly opposite the Surf Club. We had a superior room and considered it good value for money in comparison to the current market trend. Everything in the room was spotless and appliances and kitchenware well above average. Had a small problem with the TV initially but it was fixed quickly by an efficient onsite manager. Plenty of room in the parking area with easy entry and exit arrangement. Automated check in was very easy. Check in time of 3pm is a bit late I feel but we got a text before 2 saying we could check in so all good

Disappointed
Our third time staying at Mandolin, plus, it had been three years since we had been on a holiday, so decided to ‘treat’ ourselves to an ocean view superior unit. Great facilities, especially for families. The view was magnificent. The unit had been modernised with updated kitchen and bathroom. However, we unfortunately had a unit with a very uncomfortable bed and an equally uncomfortable lounge. Our Bowen Massage Therapist cannot believe what damage the bed has done to our bodies. We also couldn’t hang any clothes in the wardrobe in the main bedroom until we removed deck chairs, wall hanging prints and a clothes airer. Overall, we were very disappointed with the comfort level of the unit considering what we had paid for it. Highly doubt that we will be returning.

We’re sorry to hear the bed and lounge were not comfortable and that the wardrobe setup was inconvenient during your stay. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will pass your feedback on to the unit owner for review. We understand your disappointment and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Great place to stay
Location was fantastic, close to everything, including bus stop. The resort was just opposite the beach, which was great, and the views from our room fantastic.
Our room was dated but very clean and comfortable, with a great assortment of items in the kitchen, everything we needed plus more.
Our bed was very comfortable and spacious and the showers large with good water pressure.
The staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. The pools, tennis courts and mini golf were also very well maintained with no extra charges, which was great.
The only drawback was the noise in the evenings, that came from the people hanging around outside the surf lifesaving club, especially Friday and Saturday nights. We slept with ear plugs but it didn't block out the noise of drunks.

Thank you for your detailed review. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location, beach access, views, and the resort facilities, as well as the comfort of your room and the service from our staff. We appreciate your feedback regarding the evening noise from the surrounding area. As the property is centrally located near popular venues, some level of activity can be expected, especially on weekends. Thank you for your understanding and again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Million Dollar Views!
Perfect location with million-dollar views. We stayed in Unit 30 (2 bedroom), which was a renovated unit. Clean, neat and tidy and tastefully decorated. It was also one of the best units that I have been to for facilities/utilities in the unit. The Mandolin has a great pool with also a separate kiddies pool. We played tennis and also had fun on the mini-golf course. Excellent location for a variety of restaurants and the Alex Surf Club right across the road. It was our first time staying at Alexander Headlands, and it will now be our favourite coastal destination.

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.
