2 way view and 2 way payment
We booked and played through wotif when we arrived the hotel charged my credit card again. I had to go to the reception and fix this the next day , took some covencing that the mistake was there's and not mine. We played extra for ocean view with a bath. Only problem we had a ground floor room on the public pool. Unless we closed blinds everyone at the pool had a full view of us. We didn't use the bath due to privacy we were basically in the pool area. We were woken at 5am by cleaner metres from our bed. We were given a 2 bed apartment but asked not to use second bedroom or bathroom, we tried to close these rooms off but were unable to pull the sliding doors closed. The other issue is secure are still holding out security deposit one week after our visit. Location was great just lack of privacy and problems with payments

General review
Most friendly & relaxed staff. Room was gorgeous but really noisy from the wind. Centrally located.

Disappointing view
Overall we had an enjoyable stay during our two nights at this hotel. We were extremely disappointed with our allocated room, however. We were positioned directly above the entrance gate - people could see directly into our room when entering/exiting the hotel and the gate constantly squeaked as it opened and closed. We also had a wonderful view of dirt - yes dirt, what I can only guess is the start of some sort of construction which was definitely not what we would like to be looking at when we look out the balcony doors. Hopefully they get that sorted out soon.

Unclean room and terrible service.
My first room I was shown to on arrival was a 2 bedroom suit that was half closed off, in an unclean and in a lot of cases broken manner. I was shown to a second room with no apologies which was in a very similar, unclean state. I had originally booked a 1 bedroom studio apartment but was told on arrival that the manager (Rita) had decided to give my room to someone else.
I will definitely not being staying at the Grand Mecure Magnetic Island again and will most likely not stay at another Grand Mecure either.
Wotif was extremely helpful though and made sure that I recicieved a full refund.

NO HELP WITH GETTING STUCK IN THE LIFT.
Pros:
Bed and sheets were great.
Cons:
Cleanliness, and staff not getting defensive if someone lets them know of a problem would be a start.
We had to wait 15mins to be allowed up to our rooms, even though it was 1/2hr after check in. 6 of us then got into the lift, only to find it would not go anywhere. we tried all buttons, then rang for help, only to be told to hold certain buttons down for 10 sec and then they hung up on us. After we tried all the buttons again, we rang a second time, to be told the same thing. So we tried the buttons again. Then she asked us where we were, and had no idea where Magnetic Island was. By this stage one of the men managed to get his fingers into the door and open it. The lift was about 10cm below floor level. We all escaped, and I went to inform the reception what had happened so they could fix the lift. A man who appeared to be staff followed us back, being extremely defensive about the problem. Very disappointing.
The cleanliness was lacking as well, chairs outside were dirty and stained, and the flannel was not a clean white. 1 small soap that was insufficient and a lounge chair that was extremely uncomfortable.
I will not stay there again.

Very disappointing
Pros:
Great view, great position.
Cons:
Management
Location:
Boating, fishing
A beautiful view and great position. Staff were very inefficient and not at all helpful. We didn't have enough towels for everyone and had to share towels the first night. The only glasses were wine and spirit glasses, no glasses for drinking water! The aircon didn't work in the lounge room and main bedroom. When we told reception a chap came up and turned it on and left. The motor was running but nothing was coming out of the vents. When we mentioned to him again the next day he just said he wouldn't be able to get a airconditioning mechanic on the weekend anyway. When we went to reception to ask for more towels, glasses etc the manger proceeded to tell us about all her problems with staff. We were there for a break after going through a cyclone and the clean up after the cyclone so her problems didn't interest me at all.
We all loved the island but wouldn't recommend the accommodation to anyone.

VERY HANDY LOCATION
Cons:
HOTEL ADVERTISES A GYM, HOWEVER IT LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED. A ROWER, BIKE & TREADMILL IN A SMALL HOTBOX OF A ROOM DOES NOT COUNT AS A GYM.
GREAT OUTLOOK FROM OUR ROOM, CONVENIENT LOCATION, CLEAN & COMFORTABLE ROOM.
CHOICE OF POOLS WAS A GREAT OPTION.
