Allure Stradbroke Resort

An easy stroll to the surf beach. Our accommodation was first class. Everything was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. Usually I throw all the crockery and utensils in the dishwasher before using when we are away from home. A quick “Hyacinth Bucket” glance was all that was needed to see everything was perfectly spotless. Aircon throughout and plenty of outside nooks on the deck to choose from while enjoying the birdlife and kangaroos. A lovely cafe on site. My husband and I like good coffee and this was as good as we have had anywhere. The food was delicious and the cafe clean and the service prompt and cheerful.

We stayed in a Beach Shack priced at AUD $400 per night that had no light-blocking curtains, which caused us to be woken early each morning. On the final night, we discovered that neighbouring shacks did have curtains, indicating inconsistent room standards rather than intentional design. We contacted management only to clarify whether this was normal or a maintenance oversight, as basic sleep conditions should be expected at this price point. The booking was rescheduled in accordance with property policy, and the booking platform used should not affect basic accommodation standards. This raises concern about basic accommodation standards and customer care, as the absence of curtains directly impacted our ability to rest. Manager Helye just replied: “This is our cheapest room.” Because “You booked via Booking.com.” In effect, the business seems to offset platform commission costs by lowering the standard of the guest experience, which should never be the responsibility of paying customers.

The front desk staff are wonderful and very accommodating - I left behind an item and they were very helpful in locating and returning the item to me! Great location and amenities, also nice to have the cafe right close by for early morning coffees. I’m sure we’ll be back!

service was great, and the facilities such as the heated pool and restaurant was nice. the hotel rooms we got in the villa however were very sketchy. when we arrived into our room, the floors were wet, and smelt strongly of chlorine, and the tap water also smelt like chlorine. the toilet door also did not lock. the bed creaked even when a bag was placed on it, and the blankets were very stiff. the handrail on the stairs were also breaking apart. based off the quality of the rooms, the hotel was overpriced and not worth it. when i was looking at pictures of the resort in the website, i was extremely disappointed with the reality. overall, this is an overpriced resort, that has false advertising.

This little cabin was so cute. Was well equipped and so cozy. The staff member at reception was so lovely and helpful. There was a cafe on site with lovely food and coffee.

As soon as we walked in, the hotel wasn't even up to standard, and smelt horrible. Our beds were all unusually creaky, the walls were scratched, and the sanitation in the bathrooms were absolutely terrible. The supposedly heated pool, was far from being heated, and the doors didn't lock, as if the lock was jammed. Overall, this hotel was extremely overpriced and disappointing. If you are willing to pay $1000 a night for a terrible experience, then this is the place for you.

The service was honestly the best I’ve ever had! The staff were always available for support and a friendly chat and were very, very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful and having had a heater/aircon in every room really made for an extra comfortable stay during the colder month. We will absolutely be back again

2 room villas - wonderfully modern, yet homely beach cabins, fantastic for get aways with family & friends. Self contained. Great amount of crockery & comfortable furniture. Bright coastal themed staging suiting the short direct stroll to the beach. Great amount of cooling both ac units and fans in each room. Good blinds & a sky light for a light and lovely feeling of space in the cabin. We’ve had an incredible time, brought our fave foods, enjoyed swims, drives & even some home baked cake & entertained another family whilst enjoying a few days away.

Nice place. Liked the set-up: sleeping quarters separated by a nicely covered veranda style sitting/eating common area. Clean and comfortable; modernized kitchen with all the necessities for home cooked meals: pans; utensils; cups; glasses; plates; flatware. Plenty of space with two complete bathroom facilities. AND: the beach -- oh the incredible beach: stretched on forever -- right across the street. We fell asleep listening to the ocean lapping at the shore: absolutely tranquilizing. The only complaint: wifi! Pay $10 for 24 hours for a service only accessible in the little cafe next to the tiny office of which, I suppose, you could sit on the floor to 'surf' the 'web'. Disgraceful! Lost a star in this day-and-age of advanced technology. Oh well. Put down your phone and live in the moment. Nothing wrong with that [unless you ask my mate, who has a totally different view]. Would probably not return to this place just due to that fact.!
