Grand Mercure Apartments Magnetic Island

The location and views from the apartment were wonderful. The apartment was spacious, beds were comfortable and showers had great pressure and nice hot water. The staff were very accommodating, lovely and friendly.

It wasn’t as clean as expected ie. the floors, and there was buildup of old dust and lint on some surfaces in eye sight. We had 3 adults staying in the 3 bedroom apartment so it would have been good to have 3 double beds (instead of singles…pushing the singles together left a rise in the middle) however the beds were comfortable. The apartment and furniture are becoming aged, however it has had a fresh interior paint job and I do believe further renovations may be on the cards.

The location and the view were amazing. It is easy to get to from the ferry and supermarket was close. There are four pool options which were all fantastic. Each night you can see rock wallabies from your balcony.

The unit and complex is needing alot of updating and maintenance. In our unit, there were numerous holes in the walls with poor patch up work, old broken holders still on the walls, mirrors on the floor instead of being mounted on the holders; there are multiple tiles missing in the bathroom and old broken furniture has not been removed. The air conditioner was variable- super cold in bedrooms and hardly working in the living room. It just needs some work to bring back to standard. If it was not for the view, I am unsure if you could justify the cost.

Beautiful waterfront apartment, convenient for bus stop and Nelly ferry but far enough to be absolutely quiet and private, waterfront ocean facing balcony and infinity pool were amazing. A bonus was cute wallabies coming right up to the balcony from the surrounding rocks and feeding off our hands.

The aircon had two settings, freezing and not at all. the regulating thermostat that kicks in the aircon compressor doesn’t work, but the friendly maintenance man took note of it. A bit stingy for toilet paper, giving us two rolls per room to last for 5 days and requiring us to buy the rest.

Very conveniently located next to the ferry terminal and bus stop. Lovely views of the ocean and back towards Townsville, visible from the master bed and balcony. Spacious apartment with all amenities you would expect. Master has a bathtub with ocean (and balcony)views.

Hill to get up to the property and two flights of steps (no lifts) for my older parents who struggled a bit, particularly with luggage or groceries.

The manager was a legendary, very helpful bloke.

The dog poo scattered on paths around the resort was really off-putting and unhygienic. The rowing machine in the (small) gym needs fresh batteries and a new chain to work properly.

central to everything, Sea-link ferry, bus service, IGA cafes.

The bath and tiles need to be updated . Front door mat was dirty and after the storm water laid on the entrance for 2 days, making it difficult not to get shoes wet on entry.

Our apartment was lovely, the pools were fantastic and the staff were friendly and helpful. The apartments are centrally located and it was very easy to access transport to other areas of the Island.

Nothing it was fantastic.

Prefect location and we got to have our little dog with us. Great apartment and close to IGA, restuarants, ferry. Great size apartment and had everything we needed And the best thing was being able to have our little dog with us.

Nothing was prefect

The location was fantastic, close to supermarket & just a short walk to lots of different takeaway, restaurants & coffee shops. The pool was great, parking was easy & close to lift. The unit was spacious, the 2 bedroom we booked had a main bathroom & the main bedroom also had a fantastic ensuite with separate shower & bathtub, the lounge was a great size & there was Foxtel on the TV. The View was amazing.

The tap in the kitchen was broken but other than that everything was great
