Pure luxury and comfort with amazing seaviews.
Pros:

Pure luxury and comfort. The seaview from the very spacious balcony on Level 9 was spectacular. The apartment was well appointed and everything in there is provided. The lovely ladies on reception were friendly and welcoming. The main pool was well maintained and the facilities all there.

Cons:

Finding the apartment allocated car space was a bit tricky to find.

Relaxing Stay with Amazing Ocean Views
Pros:

Wonderful place to stay. Room has stunning ocean views from the balcony. The location is perfect just right across from the beach and close to cafes and restaurants. So many other facilities like pool, spa, etc. to relax and unwind. A great hotel.

Wonderful facilities. Loved the comfort, cleanliness and super friendly staff. Well done Nirvana By The Sea.
Pros:

Pre-arrival communication was excellent and arriving after hours was easy to negotiate. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Underground parking was very accessible with no additional cost. Extremely roomy and comfortable 2-bedroom beach view apartment with huge balcony perfect for breakfast in the sun. The kitchen had cleverly placed mirrors so you could prepare meals and look at the beach at the same time. The generous sized spa and heated pool were fantastic. The proximity to cafes, restaurants, groceries and beautiful swimming beaches was very good and within easy walking distance. The apartment's kitchen facilities were excellent with well-stocked crockery and appliances. I especially liked the gas hob and coffee machine. Very comfortable beds and pillows. I love cleanliness and I will say this apartment was nicely clean. We didn't take advantage of the in-house theatre facility or take up the invite to watch the State of Origin league game on the big screen but I know that many others did. Very good value for money spent.

So happy with everything. We are looking at the calendar right now to pick a date for our return.
Pros:

The size and layout of the rooms were more than expected. Very open and great view off the balcony. Love the kitchen! Easy walk to multiple restaurants and shops. The beach access was just across the street. Parking was secure and easy access to the lifts. Love that the lifts were so fast and spacious. So happy that we are looking at the calendar right now to pick a date for our return.

Cons:

A couple of the led bulbs, one above the kitchen island and one above the dining table were flickering and turning onand off.

Nirvana By The Sea, just wow
Pros:

We chose Nirvana By The Sea for our 12 night stay because of its excellent location, great reviews and price. Luckily our choice was spot on. Our two bedroomed apartment was on the fifth floor. The views were fantastic. The room was very spacious and had all the amenities you could wish for. You could move in and live there and not want for anything. The apartment was immaculately clean and very comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful making us feel right at home. The hotel location was perfect for us. Just across from the beach, we were spoilt for choice with many great local cafes, restaurants and stores. It is about 1 km from the centre of Coolangatta. This we found to be a bonus. Coolangatta is vibrant with a great atmosphere. However, with that comes a bit of noise which is great fun when enjoying an evening out there, but I would imagine not so much fun if trying to relax on your balcony staying at one of the hotels there. The hotel is well located for easy access to all the major routs leading out of town, also close to the Airport, but not that you can hear aircraft noise. There is free parking at the hotel. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.
