Grand Mercure Apartments Bargara Bundaberg

Great views, location, and layout, but the apartment needs work. It looks like it has water damage, which is a health concern. The carpets are stained and sticky, and look like they could be mouldy. They really need professional cleaning, or probably replacing. All the tiles felt sticky and slimy underfoot, too.

Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the penthouse apartment was clean and arranged well. The views were fantastic in every direction. We were seven for a hens weekend, and there was comfortable sleeping space for all of us. The location was perfect. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place right on the beach for a break.

The sea view and peaceful setting made this a lovely place to unwind with family. I could sit on the balcony all day looking out at the water. It’s right in front of the beach, and about a ten-minute walk to the plaza with plenty of eateries. Coles is a few minutes by car, and Bundaberg centre is around a 15-minute drive. The apartment isn’t new, but it’s well maintained and the beds are comfortable. It has a full kitchen and laundry, though the dishwasher didn’t work in our unit. There were mosquitoes, so keep the windows and doors closed at night. The pool was very dirty, which was disappointing. Aside from that, it’s a good place to stay and I’d recommend it to people visiting the area.

The beach and restaurants are in a great location, but the apartment feels tired. The bathrooms need either an upgrade or a really good clean. It wasn’t the standard I expect from a mecure group. For what it costs, the apartment should be serviced, or at least have fresh towels provided.
