What they say about us

"Recently stayed there for three weeks with my daughter and 2 grandies. Late check in details exacting especially after 20hrs flying. Excellent front office staff. Very clean rooms, gardens and pool areas. Cleaning and ground staff very friendly. Fantastic Manager Ria, provided correct advice on local markets, things to do and places to eat. We had a minor issue with our oven and it was rectified promptly and with constant communication. Another receptionist, who embarrassingly I forgot the name of, provided invaluable assistance with a transport issue and almost daily advice when approached by us...."

"Our stay at mirage was very pleasant. We found being off the main road was lovely & still very close to everything. We loved the views from 5 th floor & found the apartment to be of good size with everything we needed. The pool area was very clean & most inviting. Will definitely be back"

"Our extended family including 28 adults and 7 children had a group booking of 9 units. From booking to check in and throughout our stay we were welcomed and well looked after by the management team. The resort is in a great location and the facilities and rooms were lovely, well mantained, clean and well managed. Mirage Alexandra Headland is a great choice for a relaxing break in friendly environment."

“Spacious self-contained accommodation with scenic outlook over lagoon and to the sea. Great facilities in room with tennis and lovely pool and BBQ area. All rooms have balconies and some have special rooftop BBQ areas. Close to beautiful Alexandra Hedland beach which is great for walking as is the lagoon. Friendly, efficient staff”

"We stayed (with 2 friends) at the Mirage for a second time and found it to be the best. The staff are so efficient and professional and the service excellent. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every bit of the accommodation. We had a top floor room which normally had access to a rooftop barbeque area but due to some work being carried out up there, we could not access the area. But unasked, we were granted $30 a night off our tariff and a $20 voucher for a local cafe was included. All in all, a very pleasant stay."

It is our third family holiday to The Mirage Alex and always is consistently amazing for us. Such high standard in cleanliness pool is perfect always clean and crystal clear! Staff are always accommodating and friendly. Rooms are oversize and have all we need for our family holiday. Short walk to the beach, park and restaurants at Alexandra and a short walk to Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. We will come back to stay again!!!!
