I chose Catalina Apartments because of their location - about 100 m from Maroochydore beach and Surf Living Saving Club. Checking in was quick and efficient and the apartment was clean, well-furnished and well-equipped ... but it also features several splashes of bright colour with artificial flowers and "coastal" art works. Key tag access to garage and to rooms helps secure a safe environment. Cotton Tree Plaza is five minutes' walk away - great Delhi, bakery, liquor shop, Fish 'n' Chips shops, Newsgency etc. The resort's public gardens are pretty and there is a pleasant outdoor pool with good BBQ facilities. There is a sauna, a free tennis court and a small games room. I had read some pretty worrying reports before arriving, but I cannot really fault my room - Unit 28 in Tower I - other than the dim lighting and plastic flowers. I would return.

The location was great. Easy walking distance to Maroochydore shopping centre, the beach, the surf club, bowling club and rsl. The pool was heated and the spa was hot. Good facilities for kids. The studio apartment was clean and comfortable. We didn't have the views advertised on wotif and there was a 2 burner cook top but no pots or pans. The washing machine and dryer were very useful with laundry detergent provided. We found using the tv with foxtel installed very cumbersome to use. Overall a good stay.
