Surfair Beach Hotel Reviews
we went to surfair for our anniversary and the experience was fantastic.
we were unexpectedly greeted with a complimentary round of drinks, exceptional service and food with a nicely air-conditioned room.
can't rate highly enough and will definitely be back with family and friends

Went with a large group. Cocktails were great and the others enjoyed their meals. Good serving size. I got the fish of the day and it was overcooked and a little under seasoned. I would try this place again though. Lovely staff.

Unexpected delight.
We were staying in the area from Melbourne and wanted a pub tap and some decent food. This place certainly gave that in spades. I recommend the Asian beef salad - was one of the best salads I have had! The Korean chicken wings in blue cheese sauce were a good time. The side of greens perfectly executed. Great indoor bistro style space and outdoor is overlooking the resort pool - sunny and shady options available. Steve will take good care of you

The dining experience at Surfair was exceptional. The Classic Parmy and Beef Cheek Gnocci were absolutely delicious, and the Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum Chocolate Brownies were a perfect way to end the meal. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which enhanced our overall experience. I highly recommend this place for both its great food and excellent service

Terrible experience tonight with the food.Ordered a steak to be cooked well done and it came back raw medium. I took it back to get it well done, and for the second time it came back raw.Ended up getting money back and left. I often go there but tonight was the last time. One staff member was only on to tend bar,taking orders,and trying to deliver the meals with a cook that couldn't get it right. Was an absolute joke.

Surfair Beach Hotel is a brilliant Hotel that I've become a fan of during my short stay at the Ramada Marcoola Beach.
They are literally next to each other and I've been going there for coffee, drinks, meals and more during my business trip.
It's been really good! Top staff, great steaks, top coffee and everyone (including my clients) have had a great time.
Highly recommended and shout out all all the staff and Jason the Manager too - great spot!!

Spent a fantastic evening at the Surfair Bistro. Special thanks to Jo for making our anniversary even more special. You are a gem. The food was great and the service was also. Would recommend to anyone

NYE ordered 3 steaks, $45 ,$47 & $50.
The 3 steak dishes were delicious but we're served cold. Steak was cold and even the chips were cold. Lucky we were hungry.
Do better Surfair, this local will be rethinking a return any time soon.

Nice vibe, great staff.
Meals were excellent. Are there a number of times whilst away, for both lunch and dinner.
Suggest you book Friday and Saturday nights.

I ordered two birthday cake slices, which cost $12.50 each, totaling $25 for two pieces. I was amazed by the size of the cake slice; it was slim and tiny. I'm sure the cook just took one normal cake slice and split it into two pieces. If only i knew that bakery across the road starts working at 5:30AM I would have gone there for decent birthday cake for my partner. I expected much better quality of food and service from the restaurant. A couple of days after I complained about the tiny size of the cake, the waiter promised to pass it on to the cook but didn't even apologize. I could have bought a whole cake for $25. We had dinner before departing back to Melbourne at that restaurant; we ordered calamari and barramundi fish. The meals were extremely overpriced and extremely average.

Huge shout out to Skye and her team in the bistro for making our wedding anniversary memorable. From the special table touches to the complimentary cocktail, her service was personal, professional and heartfelt.

Had lunch here after going to Soul Ocean Day Spa - crab and prawn papperdelle for me and 300g rib fillet with chips and salad for my husband - so scrummy! Service was great and drinks a good price, lovely to dine looking out to the pool. Would go back again if we were staying here!

Had diner with the family at the Surfair Beach Hotel. We choose this resturant due to the reviews and seletion of menu items, as a family with kids, very important to have basic foods. After arriving at 7pm, ordering within 15 minutes, our food did not come until after 8pm. Kids came out seperate, we didn't get our entree until the last main was served, timing was all off. To the point, the entre was a cold dish, no cooking and it was last served. Food was a mix,half of the table enjoyed their meals half did not. I would like to point one specific out, kids spagetti had a weird flavour in there and kid did not eat much, kids meals are easy, truly simple dishes win the day.

Had a great dinner at Surf Air bistro. We ordered a parma without cheese, zucchini and corn fritters, bean and brocolini side, and a coffee panna cotta with added icecream. Very generous serves for the savouries. Chips fried to crispy perfection and the fritters came with a very interesting curry aioli! Delicious! Was looking forward to the panna cotta. It wasn't as firm as I'd like but wasn't disappointed as the flavour was great. The place was busy, green plants gave it a great feel, and a well placed TV screen with the cricket on was honestly a good idea. Great night, thanks!

Great food and great service. Dined in for my daughters birthday and weren’t disappointed. Beautiful surroundings and staff were wonderful. Definitely visit again next time we’re on the coast. Thank you

Grace and Harmony in the Sports Bar were absolutely amazing and made me feel so welcome on my holiday to the Sunshine Coast! Highly recommend to anyone in the area, especially if you are visiting 🥰 Price attached to this review includes several drinks and a (filling!) snack meal.

Given it’s basically a pub. this restaurant shines above what you’d expect. The menu is not large but they concentrate on quality. The chef offers specials which we loved and It’s not expensive. The service was also excellent. Not bad for a pub!!!

Food was average and a bit pricey but I get what I pay for and the portions are good. Staff are such nice people I was having a bad day and the server made me feel better. Came in and saw her on next visit and she remembered me and made sure I tried medallions (still not amazing but much better than first meal).
Atompshere is excellent, like I'm in my dining room at home but just bigger and more social.
Worst thing is table size! I need a bigger table for two people to eat-in it can feel so cramped.

Excellent coffee, smooth and creamy. Nice breakfast.
Excellent dinner options. Highly convenient if you're staying on-site.
Family friendly, polite and helpful staff.
Compared to other places on the sunny coast, this is highly rated for a reasonable price and you do not need to book a week in advance like some places.
We ordered food at around 6pm. Our meals arrived on our table within 15mins.
The Chicken Pamry with prawns on top was delicious. Good quality chicken compared to other places, it was moist not dry.
Thanks to the staff and chef for the good food and service.

Atmosphere was lovely but food was just okay. The calamari was overcooked and chewy and the fish was too hard and crunchy. However the delicious cocktails were amazing 😍

Although we didn't stay here, we had lunch and dinner here on different days. Whiting was cooked perfectly as was barrimundy, schnitzel was huge and juicy, not dry, pork belly was like a chuck of heaven, read the menu you'll be wanting a piece of everything. Staff here are a step above most other venues, I would travel to eat here again.

absolutely terrible if they had a 0 rating I would give them it, organisation was non existent. We waited 45-1 hour to have our coffees out, they had ran out of certain foods without telling us, when our meals arrived it wasn’t what we had ordered, the duty manager made his other staff do all the communication between us and fixing our meals, our meals were sitting on the counter ready to go and the staff were standing talking to eachother. We had certain things missing from our meals. Absolutely disgusting service from the manager.
