Top Cowley Beach Hotel Reviews

Club Wyndham Mission Beach

Club Wyndham Mission Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Whilst it is an older property it is very well maintained. The room was spacious and clean and at night time you can hear the ocean waves if you leave the balcony door open. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower had great water pressure.We ate 2 dinners at the restaurant and had drinks and we found the offerings very tasty and well presented. The bar staff were really good and so were the waitresses especially the French girl.As an extra bonus the show Travel guides was being filmed at the resort and we got to check out the cast. Thankyou Club Wyndham Mission Beach."

"We loved our stay at King Reef Resort. The reception ladies were amazing! Our booking has some where had a technical issue and changed rooms. They accommodated us immediately. We loved the beach front cabin its a cabin at the beach perfectly poaitioned and the shower was hot and excellent pressure. We loved the people, the food was absolutely amazing (i had to let the staff know so much was left because I was so full and was not indicative of the quality) fresh seafood in the pastas and steak toppers cooked to perfection. Having the bistro and pub on site is a major plus. We even had a win in the little gaming room. We also were able to grab fresh coffee and breakfast from the new little van Cafe at the front of the property. We will be back. Thanks again. ☺️"
