This is an incredible location in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. You're literally on the doorstep of the Great Sandy NP, and you have views across the coast to Fraser Island. Make sure you get a room in the main building (with the reception office) so that you back directly onto the bush and not the pool/car park. The apartment was spacious, quiet and full of light, and the wifi was very good.

The apartment itself was fantastic, but our overall experience was let down by a couple of small things. Firstly, we found the staff to be a little disorganised. No one was around to check us in on the day, and finding someone who could do it seemed to cause problems for them. Later on in our stay, one of the staff used a key to enter our apartment while we were having breakfast and seemed shocked to find us there (ie. she didn't realise the apartment was occupied). Finally, there was a loud water pump (?) outside our bedroom, which wouldn't stop until late at night and started up again early in the morning.

Location, cleanliness, how big the apartment was, everything supplied in the apartment, the price, the view, secure parking.

The apartment above our room makes it hard to sleep and relax. One morning from about 6am - 10am it’s like they were running a marathon or deliberately walking on their heels. Even during the night. Not enjoyable for a relaxing get away. I would recommend mentioning to your visitors to be courteous of others in the apartments below.

This is my go to spot when we visit Rainbow Beach and now I have found my favourite unit within the complex. Rainbow Ocean Palms Resort is always well kept, spacious and very comfortable. The view from some of the units is absolutely stunning. Its location is perfect ... far enough away from the maddening crowd but you can still hear the rhythmic sound of the waves breaking on the sea shore. I so wish I could visit a whole heap more.

We were too early for checkin (had just completed the Cooloola Great Walk at 10:30AM) so walked down to town for lunch. It started storming very heavily and we were stranded at Shell. The receptionist that day (30/12/23) gave us a call to check where we were and then drove down to pick us up herself! It was very kind of her Loved everything about the accommodation: view, location (away from town and near sandblow), nice pool, the rooms and kitchen in apartment was great too

Amazing from every aspect, I mixed up our booking dates - wasn’t an issue at all, arrived a day early and straight into the room without a fuss, thank you so much for such a tremendous stay, we saw whales from our balcony all weekend Spa bath was amazing, rooms were tranquil All and all a magnificent stay, would recommend to anyone and everyone

Nothing to not like

View was amazing. Lots of local wildlife - Do NOT Feed the wildlife. Well positioned and comfortable. Staff knowledgeable about area and suggested good options. Just enough local shops for variety and reflective of location. Friendly environment. Highly recommend walking and doing a visit to K’gari Island. Due to weather, we didn’t get to Tin Can Bay for dolphins, however, saw them from barge up close. Follow directions provided and it’s an easy drive and we were fortunate to see emu’s at one stage. We didn’t have younger children in our group, however, did not notice noise from other families. This is one of the better all ages and/or family accommodations we’ve stayed in.

No negatives. Had one breakdown and they were on it ASAP.

Quiet location right beside the National park so great for hiking and walking to the sand blow. Nice pool and botanical outlook. Very large apartments with large balcony’s. Free undercover parking. Very comfortable beds.

Bathroom was very outdated and yellowed. Some down lights and blinds were broken/damaged. Given the price and that the apartments have full kitchens, oil and condiments should be supplied regardless. There is a restaurant attached that appears shut down, given the location slightly away from town it would be great for apartment guests to have the option of dining here. It would also add to the atmosphere.

Best location to visit Carlo's sanblow, walking distance. Huge apartment fully furnished and equipped with all possible appliances. We appreciated the ceiling ventilators that made possible to live without airco.

In other properties of the same price range, we normally find a small welcome package. It was not there.

Walk to Carlos Sand drift. Very pleasant view. Surrounded by bush. Lots of birds.

Details of appartment. Clean but stains down side of coffee table. Limited TV( no netflix) which didn't matter but might have if it had been raining. Shortage of towel rails. Easy walk down to village but a slog back up for older people.

Clear instructions as we arrived late Sunday. On entering the apartment, I found it clean and spacious. Pool was clean and lovely to swim in. Quiet location, which is a 2 minute drive into the main drag and a 1 minute walk to the Carlo sand blow.
