Reviews for Oaks Calypso Plaza
Nato Hendrixson
Absolutely loved this place! The rooms are exquisite, the check in was a breeze and the staff are really friendly and happy. The kitchen is set up beautifully and has all of the nice things. Car park is underground which was fantastic and the pool is phenomenal. Short walk across the beach and there’s a great Physio across the road and cafes everywhere!

We simply love this property. Check-in is seamless and easy parking prior to check-in. Parking is easy. The rooms are very clean and well appointed. The staff members are amazing and ever so helpful. The pool is clean and beautiful with plenty of outdoor furniture - even when it’s busy. The location is amazing!! Get here and you don’t need a car. Again - we love it!

On arrival I was greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable young lady. My room was ready on time . The room was outstanding and spotless. The bed was super comfortable. When I was leaving my room I was always greeted with a smile and hello from the cleaning staff. I will most certainly book my next Coolangatta holiday at the Oaks Calypso, and would highly recommend to my friends. The location was perfect two minutes walk to the beach and shops and restaurants also 2 minutes

Where do I even start? It's been an absolute disaster. A holiday we were so looking forward to, paid peak prices to stay 4 nights due to the time of year however nonetheless a standard should be upheld all year round. Clearly not. Apart from the location and the actual pool there is nothing else going for this hotel...actually it is more like a motel. We checked in to room 414. There was a distinct odour coming from what we assume was the filthy aircon. As we walked down the hallway to get to our room originally it was evident how dated the property was however while we knew the room would be older style we had hoped it would be clean and at an acceptable standard. Everything in the room was disgusting. Extreme amounts of dust everywhere, dirty and stained carpet, lack of maintenance throughout the room with no upgrades in a very long time. Mould in the shower the room just felt revolting. Beds uncomfortable and towels were stained and very old. I raised my concerns with reception we were told there was nothing they could do and to sleep the night in there with a potential for a room change the next day. The room was unhygienic. The next morning I took my children for a swim. While the pool is nice and the view the pool area itself was also not maintained and the day beds were again filthy with leaves scattered throughout the pool. Gardens not maintained. After going back and forth with reception they said we could move rooms across the hotel to a different room this time room 260. We were told this room was one of the best and well looked after. We had to pack up our belongings and move rooms approx 12pm instead of enjoying our holiday we had to dedicate time to this when we had already spent so much time regarding the issue already not to mention the stress as we had paid over $2000 for 4 nights. When we arrived to the new room we observed the furniture to be somewhat more modern however the cleanliness was exactly the same. We had lugged all of our belongings and our two children across the hotel for the same standard. I had asked for this to not be the case and was assured it wouldn't be. Room 260 was filthy with dust, dirty and mouldy shower which hasn't been cleaned properly, several cockroaches throughout the kitchen, mould spores on the vents on the aircon (this was absolutely shocking how bad it was), uncomfortable bedding, bedding and towels feel dirty - stained, broken clothes horse, crockery dirty same as room 414 nothing about this hotel is clean or maintained. We had one helpful reception staff however other then that there has been no further support I have submitted a complaint with Oaks and have asked for the hotel manager to contact me - haven't heard from either party. We have had to request additional sheets for the sofa bed for our children to sleep which took over an hour to receive and our 2 young children waiting to go to bed. We offered to collect the sheets however were told they would be bought up to the room. Bar and restaurant not running. We stayed here 6 years ago and the decline since then is astronomical. We will not be recommending to anyone. I will ensure I share our negative experience to avoid people booking a holiday at this motel as it's a complete rip off and a waste of money. The only pro here is the location. Will never ever stay here again. Absolutely shocked a how terrible this has been. Huge let down and I will be escalating further.

Absolutely loved our visit here. Reception staff absolutely superb, checked us in super effectively and we weren't sure where to go and have dinner, Amy gave us several options, so friendly and helpful with all of the amenities and the local spots. Room was spacious well laid out and clean. Highly recommend, will be back for sure
