“Great value for money!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights in a one bedroom penthouse (room 70) and were thoroughly impressed!

Unfortunately it rained so we couldn't make full use of our rooftop but it had an awesome Jacuzzi and a lovely view of the pool and Pumistone Passage (we were told the two bedroom penthouses or one bedroom water view apartments had a better view of the ocean). The pool also looked very appealing and lights up beautifully at night.

The apartment was nice and clean. Not ultra fancy or modern but definitely more than pleasant enough- looked just like the picture on the website. Air con worked well.

The location is great: plenty of good places to eat close by. We recommend the Thai place and fish and chip shop downstairs.

Overall, we got a great deal for what we paid: the rates are very modest. The staff at reception were very helpful.

Room Tip: If you book by phone you can request the best views etc. Staff were very helpful in suggesting which...

“Oi...Do yourself a favour!”

Recently stayed in Unit 11 in the Resort Apartments, Ground Floor. Garden View I was told! There was a view of the beautifully maintained tropical gardens, we also had views of The Passage, Bribie, Morton Bay Island and the boating lanes....FANTASTIC. The room was two bedroom, two bathroom and seperate toilet. Very spacious. There is a wide verandah with easy access to the pool, BBQ area, games room and gym. Being the father of two teenage boys, I was told that the games room and gym were "OK", I believe that means good. The rear security gate is metres away with quick access to the boardwalk, beaches and restaurants. As previously stated by other reviews, a short stroll to restaurants, coffee shops, cinema, beaches, and retail stores. We drove up and down the "Sunshine Coast" during our stay, there is so much to do and so much to see. Thanks to Leanne & Tracey in Reception, so helpful.
We enjoyed ourselves, its unfortunate that so many people visit these places and wish to sit in their rooms, then vent disappointment. Can't they stay at home? Grand Pacific you won me!

“Stunning views in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Had 4 night midweek stay in room 20, which would have to have one of the best views I have ever had from a room. The unit itself was roomy, clean and tidy and offered everything we needed. The staff in reception were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool area is fantastic and very well maintained. The location is ideal, being a short stroll to beach, cafe's and restaurants and shops, no need to use the car at all if you don't want to. Will definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: For the best views and accesibility to the pool, book a room in the resort area of the hotel.

“Very dissappointed”

We spent last week at Breakfree Grand Pacific - we were very excited that we had waterfront views overlooking the pool in the resort area. Great location but the unit was so dissappointing the bed was so hard I was pleased we had only booked for five nights I considered going home a night earlier it was so bad. The rooms are very tired and was not what we woullconsider clean. Sorry even though we loved the location we won't be back.

Dear Gen G, thank you for your review of BreakFree Grand Pacific. We are so sorry to hear that your stay was not as expected and you felt disappointed. We certainly would have tried to assist you in any way if we were aware that you were not comfortable. All of the units are individually owned and furnished, and a number of the apartments are in the process of being updated to assist in consistency of standard. It is a shame that you will not be considering holidaying with us again. We would welcome the chance to have you stay and show that we are able to provide you with a more positive experience. Please feel free to call the resort directly and speak with me should you wish to book again. We hope to hear from you.

“Extremely Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We had previously stayed at the Grand Pacific and had thoroughly enjoyed it. What a difference a year makes. The room with the Garden View actually looked onto the wall of the apartments in front of us( I guess someone has to get them).Everything in the apartment was tired and the standard of cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The most disappointing aspect was that the 3 bedroom apartment in the tower did not have aircon in two of the bedrooms.When we enquired about this we were told that not all apartments had full aircon and that we should have requested it.Silly me ! It was also pointed out that there were fans that we could use . It turned out that only 1 pedestal fan worked and for that reason we closed up one of the rooms and only used 2 of the bedrooms.We will not go back next year and probably not ever again.Shame really.

Dear wendywoo62, thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at BreakFree Grand Pacific. We are saddened to hear that your repeat stay did not reach the standards of your previous visit. Regarding the air conditioning, all units have air conditioning into the lounge/dining and main bedrooms, however the tower apartments have fans provided for the second/third bedrooms. We apologise that this caused you inconvenience. It certainly is a shame that you feel you will not return for a future stay. We would be more than happy to assist you in any way should you require and look forward to ensuring your next stay is more memorable.
