Iv stayed in a lot of so called 5star hotels around the world and to be honest they could learn a lot from the Hotel Marvell. Needed an early check in due to a last minute online business meeting . I called the hotel . The staff were so accommodating. Throughout the stay all the staff were so friendly and Helpful.welcome drink dropped to room after arrival . Room was cleaned daily(twice) food was fresh and delicious. Asked for a late check out again no problem. There was no rushing me out the door to get the next customer in. All in all if I could give a 6 star rating I would.

We stayed in a cabin, which had a kitchen, lounge, dining area and one double bedroom, with an ensuite. Everything was very spacious and light filled. The bathroom was a great size, with a very large shower and plenty of hot water. The bedroom was also a great size, had a tv, fan and big wardrobe, with shelving and hangers, an ironing board and an iron. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a fridge/freezer, microwave and cooktop. Good bench space, with a toaster and jug. Lots of drawers, cupboards and there is a good selection of crockery, cutlery and pots. Dining table, another Tv, aircon, fan and a lounge suite. Parking beside the cabin as well. The owners are lovely and recommended drives to us (the weather wasn't great), with suggestions off the normal tourist track. There are walks from the park to the surf beach and the quieter beach. There was a coffee van, a swimming pool which can be accessed, playgrounds and a big park. Lots of facilities for campers and caravaners. The park is full of trees, so very shady too. We found it very quiet and peaceful. Very short walk to the town centre with a great choice of cafes, bakeries, restaurants and clubs and pubs. We would definitely return here.

The magnificent setting with the accommodations literally in the forest made it feel like you were on safari and isolated from the world making it easy to relax. From the staff to the facilities, everything is designed to be serene and calming. The food is wonderful and we could not fault anything anywhere.

We did not have much time in Coffs Harbour. Only one night. We have driven through Coffs Harbour numerous times and have only stayed there once before this stay, which was in 1991 at Opal Cove when our children were young. We were pleasantly surprised with the location of our stay at Ocean Park Apartments this time.

Didn't stay long enough, just stopped for one night. Had dinner at RSL in the cafe which was good, but later found out they had specials which staff didn't mention the locals told us after. Staff at front door were friendly. Unfortunately weather wasn't the best so didn't do much looking around. Next time will stay longer.

The room that we had for 2 nights was very outdated, the bathroom cupboards looked as though they were about to fall apart and the tap was constantly dripping , there was no plug for shaving, the ceiling paint over the bed was falling off, there was insufficient cutlery for 2 people, the toilet seat was broken and fixtures in the room were falling off. $270 for a night to stay in that is unacceptable.

Stay away - drunk or drugged out body in the foyer we had to step over to get to the lift when we first arrived after a flight and drive. "Welcome to the Paradiso". Then our keys would open the verandah - but not open the room itself. Over an hour we stood outside our room on the phone late at night with management - useless. The room through the window looked like squatters were hiding in there - non existent security. Lucky we had a car and could find other accomodation late at night. Thank God for reputable businesses elsewhere.... and here we are over 3 weeks later and they still won't refund our money. And no mention of helping with the extra $600 we had to fork out to get accomodation so late up the road! Beware Beware Beware. And if you do go there - ask to try your key on other units - it's handy because it gives you free access to other peoples verandahs - brilliant.
