Mercure Sunshine Coast Kawana Waters
Room was spacious and ready when we arrived. Breakfast was good but not much selection of cooked items. Staff were great. Only complaint is that the toilet in our room hadn’t been cleaned from the previous person.

Kids loved the water park and activities. Rooms mainly aircon, carpet etc. were pretty tired and in need of maintenance / deep clean / upgrade. Bathrooms were nice and new.
