Reflections Tower Two

Just loved it..

We love the beach views, close location to the beach, great surf spot for swimming, walking areas including to terrific dining options, room layout that’s well equipped too. Suggestions for the unit we stayed in - swap out convention type desk with curtain (so odd) for a more suitable desk; exchange the bulky tallboy in the bedroom for a couple of portable suitcase rack stands; consider swapping the queen size bed for a quality king size bed. Also, if all of the units are furnished and decorated at the owner’s discretion, a more unified, designer approach across them all including the lobby would be hugely beneficial, I believe. In any case, we really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Paid $5000 to stay a week here over new years and had a joined booking with another family. My friend was told when she made her final payment our rooms would be close together/ in the same floor but weren’t and “there was nothing they could do about it”. I made my peace with that as we collected our keys by a unwelcoming receptionist thinking hey I’m sure it’s just a short elevator trip to go visit our friends. Well they failed to mention you can’t even access any other floor with your key. Only lobby or swimming pool. Massive downer! But anyway we went to check out our room for the week only to be smacked in the face with the most putrid cat pee smell as soon as we opened the door to our room. It was like there were urine stains in the carpet and the smell just lingered unless you kept all the doors open at all times. Sleeping at night time was particularly disgusting though since I made sure all doors were locked as our kids slept in the room beside the balcony. There weren’t any other rooms available so we reluctantly stayed in that room. The unwelcoming receptionist with long black hair was particularly rude to my shy daughter who politely asked for her the code the restroom one day. She said that rest room is not part of this hotel! In a very abrupt manner. 5 mins later we saw her walk into the toilet herself. That frustrated me. Why was she so rude to my daughter about using the communal restroom and then using herself moments later??? There is no restroom in their lobby which I find weird if you are going to give people a hard time about giving the code to access the communal toilet. In summary I’d say, the room had a lovely view of coolangatta, the apartment smelt vile, I didn’t care for the black oppressive furnishings in a beachside hotel room and the staff were not friendly or welcoming. It’s a great location but I can’t see us ever returning to this hotel again. **If the staff ever get to read this review I think we stayed in room 1509 right beside the lift - the smell in this room really needs addressing if you wish to continue renting this room out.
