Reviews for Gemini Resort

Review 1:The table place mats in the unit were well past there useby date - worn and lacked the brightness of everything else. The black cutting board was also very old, worn and certainly would not pass the hygene test in any kitchen The sink waste fitting had the chrome replaced with rust and again not needed replacing. Behind the bathroom door was badly marked. We wiped off the finger marks and dirt but some of the paintwork needed touching up. Someone has had the grill on with the door closed judging by the scorch marks visible when you open the grill door

Review 2:The view, the pool and ease of access to the beach and good takeaway food locally. The sea breeze was great and magnified when the unit entry door was opened. (Could do with a security door to allow the breeze to flow thru more often.)

Review 3:Great location for S.U.P, windsurfers and boaties that is quiet with excellent views; front to pumicestone passage and ocean with rear to glasshouse mountains. Spacious apartment with pleasant cross flow sea breezes. Comfortable furniture and bedding. Very friendly, helpful staff who also aided a padlocked parking spot at rear of property for a jet ski. We will be back.

Review 4:The general cleanliness was good, just needed a more thorough clean- eg curtains. When we first arrived at unit there was a distinct 'doggy smell'. Very disappointed with that.

Review 5:A restful environment, spacious unit, great pool, the staff were very helpful. Always love coming back to Gemini!

Review 6:Our bed was very hard to sleep on

Review 7:Central position, close to beach, large pool, well appointed kitchen, expansive living area and deck, clean and refurbished

Review 8:Ensuite could do with a bit more tlc...bleach would help...other then that kids were over the moon felt like the creature comforts of home ,especially for my little one who adorns familiarity ..

Review 9:The instructions and sms notifications about after hour key pick up ,and reminders ,parking numbers were a great idea ,central to a variety of things ,kids love the pool,staff were helpful after hours also,had a great stay !

Review 10:Another guest got upset at kids splashing in pool, this guest was a bit of a stick in the mud. This wasn't the fault of Gemini or their staff thou.

Review 11:Room was gorgeous. Rooms have everything you need for your stay. Pool excellent. Great for families. Right on beach front.

Review 12:Having to beg a cleaner for toilet paper. Didnt even have a full role in the room. Should always have a spare role in the the bathroom cuboards! Limited toilet paper is not a classy place.

Review 13:Location and facilities were great.

Review 14:Hated the key. You must update to a card system. It is so difficult to get in the garage. You have to get out of the car not fun when its raining

Review 15:Location

Review 16:Only bad thing was our room wasn't ready for us. I had rung during the week to ask if we could check in earlier & they said no, not until 2pm as guests were checking out. on arriving at our room just before 2pm the house maid said the room wouldn't be ready till 2-30pm. The manager came up & helped her finish the room.

Review 17:My husband & I & my daughter, her husband & 2 young children stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment. We stayed here a lot when our daughters were little so chose to go back for our daughters 30th Birthday. Gemini is still a great place to stay in a great location with excellent facilities. Love it.

Review 18:No bad experiences were to be had.

Review 19:We had a tenth floor unit, it was beautiful! The resort is right on the beach, the water is so close, it feels like you are on a Cruise Ship! We will be back.

Review 20:I fell on the tiled floor.coming in from balcony it had a water proofer attached to the sliding door. did not see it and why I ask? we were on level 5 what water?

Review 21:Very old tired and shabby apartment Stains throughout the apartment Apartment needed a thorough clean Second bedroom damp and musty Expensive given its condition

Review 22:Great location on the beach

Review 23:There was nothing we didn't like about the Gemini Resort.

Review 24:We liked the location - central to everything. The Staff were fantastic - very helpful and friendly which made us feel so very welcomed. We also agreed that room that we had was the best spot we could ever asked for - up high enough to have fantastic views! Thank you so very much for making our few days in Caloundra a rememberable stay! We will definitely be staying here again!

Review 25:The location is suited to people with young families or no interest in going to the surf beaches. It's too far away. There were very few restaurants etc in walking distances

Review 26:The room was new so really nice. Lots of space and very clean. View was lovely. The room was missing some basic things needed but overall very good.

Review 27:The price for the accommodation booking through booking.com was dearer than booking direct with the resort

Review 28:Good Location, Great protection from the breeze. Good Facilities

Review 29:The onsite restaurant only opens a 5pm. I think it needs to open for lunch time trade too as its poolside.

Review 30:Proximity to beach and kids play park. Heated pool was nice as it was a bit cooler weather than anticipated. Kitchen had lots of appliances.

Review 31:We found the bed a little too firm for our liking other than that everything was great.

Review 32:We loved the view from our room and the decor was lovely. Nice and spacious.

Review 33:Smell of sewerage in carpark. Gemini advertises as having a restaurant. This was closed which was very disappointing as we were hoping to stay somewhere with a restaurant. Staff could have advised this prior to confirming our booking.

Review 34:The view is glorious.

Review 35:The Gemini is going through a big refit so work started at 7:30am till after 6pm even though there was signs promising no noise before 9am and only till 5pm. Main water supplied off on 2 occasions during visit. Workmen parked in allocated park spaces plus secure parking area left open so anybody could get in which resulted in cars having property being stole from them.

Review 36:Tried to telephone the resort for 2 days without success. They need an answering machine. Only when contacting Booking.com did we get response. Tradespeople were jackhammering at 8 am in the morning.

Review 37:The View

Review 38:Apartment block is getting a little dated.

Review 39:Stayed in a 2BR apartment with gorgeous ocean views. Apartment was huge including a great balcony to have a quiet beer while watching activity on the water. Great underground parking as well.

Review 40:Supplies like tea bags, toilet paper, etc. were very limited when we asked for extra tea bags we were offered 2, they begrudgingly gave us 6 & said we wont charge you this time. The apartment had 2 rolls of toilet paper for 5 guests for 4 days & when we asked for an extra roll we were charged $1. We were there for a wedding & when we asked other wedding guests staying elsewhere at Caloundra & Brisbane if they had experience this type of stinginess were they were staying they said no. We have not experienced it elsewhere either and it really did take the shine off what was an otherwise lovely stay.

Review 41:Awesome view, roomy apartment, very clean & comfortable, enjoyed our stay.

Review 42:We thought it was a fully serviced apartment not so miserly welcome pack no repeat reception open skimpy hour too many notices re penanties for breakages only service in 15 days even charge for a pool towel 5 dollars very miserly throughout

Review 43:Position and heated pool

Review 44:No curtains in the lounge at all and poor blockout of Qld sun in the bedroom.

Review 45:Large and well appointed rooms. Lovely views. Close to shops and restaurants. Very quiet.

Review 46:Fan did not work in room, Light did not work in 2nd bedroom, we were expecting a queen bedroom which we had BUT two singles is what we preferred for the 2nd bedroom. Did not like the 2nd bedroom set up

Review 47:The size of the apartment, and the location

Review 48:We had a great view from our 8th floor apartment. The staff went out of their way to help when we realized the fridge was not working even bringing up a replacement from another unit.

Review 49:The wifi was slow and at times no connection. The parking spot was hard to get car into.

Review 50:We liked the children's pool, the layout of apartment was good. Plenty of room to relax and open plan. We like the sheltered beach close by, walking paths and playgrounds and close to all shops and take aways. Staff were friendly. Nice Nepalese restaurant downstairs- discount if staying at hotel. We would go back again.

Review 51:I didn't like the mould and hair left in the shower from previous tennants . Especially when there were notes on the walls telling us to make sure everything was to be left pretty much clean or we would pay an extra $50 for extra cleaning . My pet hate ( mould in showers)

Review 52:Loved the Decore of the unit , beautiful large one bedroom unit great view and location .

Review 53:There was no 24 hour reception, but emergency contact numbers. Coming back on my own one night I did feel nervous. To ring any an emergency number would have been easier if an emergency phone had been available. For using the phone in the room 1$ plus per minute was way too high while charging for the internet.

Review 54:Hotel being on the beach was perfect, being English and fair I can only stay in the sun for short periods at a time. Using the hotels kyacks was great fun as was the pool.

Review 55:Lack of air conditioning

Review 56:For the money you pay you expect the resort to have aircon in the bedrooms. It was 28 degrees at midnight and most of the night and with two kids under 3 and a pregnant wife we had to move mattresses to the lounge area so we could et cool under the air con. For the amount of money you pay you expect to not have to do this. We left our holiday exhausted as we didn't get the kids to sleep until very late having to all sleep in the one room.

Review 57:The fact we only stayed for 9 nights - will be back though.

Review 58:Half day Kayak hire for $15 - who wouldn't like that? Fantastic views with ships passing close by every day and plenty of time for fishing. Peace and quiet so close to the town centre

Review 59:Resort is getting a little dated (I have been staying here since it opened (30years ago I think?).

Review 60:The location of this resort is great. Something for everybody, beach out front, pool, walking path along the water. Apartments are very spacious, particularly the living areas.

Review 61:Kitchen could do with a renovation with modern appliances.

Review 62:Great spot, nice clean room with great views. All round a great place to stay and will recommend to other people.

Review 63:Move the check out or check in times by an hour (check out 1100 / check in 1300). Small change but a huge plus and attraction for people booking - would be a small change to your routines but would be extremely attractive to potential customers - good investment and sets the tone for the entire stay.

Review 64:The location was ideal, room size very generous, well appointed, very clean and in room facilities all that you require. Close to shops, restaurants and beaches.

Review 65:The family room was supposed to have 3 rooms but the third room was a section With a curtain and the accommodation was very run down. Staff were unable or unwilling to do anything, there was also no internet.

Review 66:Pre used toilet rolls and running out, four people five days two used rolls , having to ask for more and getting the third degree and denial by staff that rolls weren't used and were new. We got our toilet rolls replenished after a bit of fuss, very annoying. Wifi was terrible unavailable and troubles whole time. Kettle leaked so badly, dangerous. We requested new one, this was done after a phone call. Fan in kids room didn't work. Was fixed after two days. Carpet stained and apartment smelled. Shower screen had huge gap in it and leaked everywhere in bathroom, needed gumboots to go to toilet. Apartment needs paint, new carpet and bathrooms renovated . Smell from restaurant below terrible.

Review 67:Loved location, loved pool, apartment layout terrific, parking excellent. Comfy beds and pillows, great furniture, laundry facilities great, kitchen great. TV and foxtel a bonus, TV in main bedroom added bonus, balconys terrific

Review 68:Big problem with insects. NO SCREENS, (Only in 2nd bedroom)bugs & beetles everywhere. Had to close all windows & doors. Very hot & humid, only 1 split system aircon in living area. Difficulty getting bags and wheelchair through unit door as no door catch fitted to hold open.

Review 69:Apartment was spacious, well equipped, clean with nice décor. spectacular views. couldn't get better

Review 70:Our unit was tired and grotty and had things broken which owner apparently refused to fix. Kayaks you have to get yourself out of the locked cages in carpark and then drag up flight of stairs to beach...very difficult. Awful smell constantly in lift and foyer area I think from nepalese restaurant ?

Review 71:Location was great...lovely outlook over pumistone passage. Shopping village just afew mins walk away. Courtesy buses take you to local clubs.

Review 72:Sadly this trip the women at the front counter was so rude,she was a bit older than the other girl, no excuse if she was having a bad day it showed but no need to be rude.

Review 73:We have stayed here a few times and love it.

Review 74:the lighting, especially in the bathroom, very poor.Please, at least put another bulb in light or replace that one with a stronger one.. The lounge is past its use by date and not very comfortable either. Kitchen top cupboards too high. Perhaps put a step-stool in for us shorties.

Review 75:the view parking and trolleys to carry baggage handiness to shops

Review 76:Very difficult to get in and out of carpark with it being right on a roundabout. Car park smelt terrible and lifts smelt mouldy Not impressed with only have 1/4 roll of toilet paper for 3 nights stay

Review 77:Fantastic view Good location Beautifully appointed unit Great balcony overlooking Pumicestone Passage

Review 78:A bit mean with starter packs. Had a nasty fall because of wet floor outside the lift from people next door leaving wet trail after being in the pool. No spare toilet roll or towels.

Review 79:Good furnishings and views

Review 80:Slow lift, key system for opening and closing security gate for parking. Surely it would be easy to modernize with a swip key ?

Review 81:Location, view, facilities, restaurant, swimming pool, use of kayaks, friendliness of staff.

Review 82:The smell of the curry's being cooked first thing in the morning from the restaurant.

Review 83:So spacious, a home away from home. Modern decor, and huge kitchen. The Swimming pool with a slide was a huge hit with our 3 year old. We loved the bike riding track. AWSOME views. We will be back.

Review 84:It's not an easy walk to the nearest coffee. And it's drginatrog a drive to the nearest restaurant/cafés. Also, you'll need to get your own TP if staying more than a night or two!

Review 85:The facilities and location are good: heated shallow pool, and a bigger deeper pool. Heated indoor and outdoor spas and a sauna. And with the beach only 30 meters away with no need to cross a road it's greet for younger family members.
