What guests think

At Grand Mercure Apartments Magnetic Island, travellers highlight the walkable location near the ferry and shops and spacious apartments with sea views, while reviews also flag uneven cleanliness, dated or worn elements, and maintenance problems across units and certain facilities.

Multiple pools and secure parking are appreciated, but some pools have been closed or in poor repair, and the small gym draws criticism. Room quality varies by unit; guests report dated fittings, faulty air-conditioning or fixtures, slow or unreliable Wi‑Fi, and views that do not match listings, while others found their apartments comfortable and quiet. Service is widely described as friendly and helpful, though occasional after‑hours issues were not promptly resolved. Best for travellers who prioritise location over uniform room quality.

Maintenance should be better on the property lots of things not working do not fitt or are broken and not a clear guide how to use the freezer ice cube machine The given space is perfect to act with 4 people and the parking spaces underground are very limited to acces with bigger cars

We loved our stay here and the fact that we could choose between 4 swimming pools on location and rock wallabys are always around to watch, we really enjoyed our time. The unit was a great base for our family.

2 of the 4 pools were out of action. Did receive an email letting us know of one, so decided to keep the booking. Then to arrive to two being out. The 2 pools water was poor quality, obviously over used. Room it self very poor, stains on carpet, rusted fittings. Aircon leaking. With such an amazing view, if they invested some money in making the room match would have been okay.

I was disappointed with this property. For the amount you pay per night and the reputation of the mecure, i will not be staying here again, nor would i recommend it. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, which was advertised as an ocean view. We were situated behind the pool and spa, so we had a view of that instead. Faults with the accommodation. My biggest issue was that that room didnt lock. The area where you enter the back patio, the gate didnt shut competely, so it wasnt lockable. And then the lock on the door to the actual apartment has shutters next to it which you can stick your hand through and open the lock on the inside of the door, from the outside. The floors were wet when we first walked in. The main shower was mouldy. There was what I am assuming to be food splatter all over both the bedroom walls. The spa was very low in water so you basically sat with half of your body exposed and the jets are on a timer for 5 minutes so you have to get out and turn the bubbles back on every 5 minutes.

The property was clean, modern and spacious. Behind gated entrance which made it safe. The receptionist Polly has a welcoming smile, and was super helpful in checking in with a map and places to see. On our check out day we had a storm and our journey back wasn’t until later, Polly was super helpful and accommodating making sure we had our room for longer to keep us out the storm. We really appreciated this. Thank you

Séjour d’une nuit au Grand Mercure Magnetic Island. L’équipe est très chaleureuse et accueillante. Le logement est spacieux, bien équipé et donne sur une des 4 piscines qu’offre l’établissement. Petit bémol concernant la propreté du logement, nous avons trouvé des serviettes dans le lave-linge. En dehors de ce petit point je recommande fortement !

Our room was great and the staff were friendly and provided excellent communication. The property was within a 2 minute walk from the ferry terminal. Our room had a good size balcony for pm drinks and we could watch the ferries come and go. The property has 4 pools, but for us the best was in block 1 the same as our room. This pool had more sunshine than the others which could be shaded much of the day or windy. The roof top in block 1 was mostly sunny.

The room was small and the Airco rooming was extremely bad. Terrible mostly smell in room and dampness on ceiling and floor (slippery and dangerous. Roller blind fell down and was jammed the entire stay, blocking view. Carpet dirty and stained. Didn’t like shower over bath. Not enough utensils in kitchen. Didn’t like high chairs (stools) over dining table. Pool had missing tiles and surrounding tiles needed cleaning. Garbage smell near entry. Ceiling in bathroom needed pairing. Wouldn’t recommend and certainly wouldn’t book there again.

Beautiful views.I liked the spa,except bubbles don't last so be prepared to get out alot to repress the button.Tv has foxtel plus all entertainment apps but you cannot use unless u have membership. Bedrooms windows have terrible cheap blinds.Electric stoves are annoying but that is a personal viewpoint. Dishwasher and oven missing numbers and directions because of ocean salt, so u have to guess temperatures etc. Beds are average with cheap sheets.Great to have washer and dryer.The saving grace to this hotel was your employee's, the two receptionists and 2 girls in particular I met named naomi and Dounia who guided me regarding a wifi box available at reception and spent time answering questions about restaurants and things to do on the island, near the end of our conversation i realised they had already finshed work so they were helping me in their own time. Thank you Mercure for hiring such a wonderful and kind human beings in Naomi and Dounia .

If you get the room we did, the photos look nothing like it. The furniture was old and stained, the room wasn’t as clean as you would expect an Accor property to be and there is no way to have a shower without being seen from the kitchen/living area. We booked a 1 bedroom not a studio.

The room itself was lovely and had a great view. However, we paid $20 for a cot for our baby for one night, and when we went to put her down, we discovered there was no mattress. Reception was closed by then, so unfortunately, my baby and I had a very uncomfortable night as there was nowhere safe for us to co-sleep. When we mentioned this at check-out the next morning, we were told it may have been overlooked by backpacker staff who didn’t realize there was another part to the cot. There was no offer of a refund for the cot, which was disappointing given the circumstances.

Positives: close to pool area, with no direct access (safe for little ones). Large unit for families with plenty of room and a great modern kitchen. Lovely outside decking area. Entrance with louvres and a drying rack for wet clothes-dries fast. Also has a washer and dryer. Close to all amenities, ferry service (walking distance), IGA and amazing seafood cafe with coffee, ice cream and pancakes down the road. Also close to car hire services. Great place to stay overall. Negatives: this unit has a partial sea view not a full view (was advertised showing an open unobstructed sea view). The view is obstructed by a hedge with the pool area beyond and the view of the area where the ferries dock. Main shower has extensive unsightly tiles that need attention.
