History

Established in 2004.

The Coral Cay Resort has led the way in providing quality and service within the Mackay’s Region over the past 10 years since opening December 2004. The AAA rated 4 ½ star property was owner built and managed by Pat & Bertha Wells and Colleen & Graeme Cosgrove.

The property was then sold in August 2006. At the same time the motel next door, El Toro, was purchased and by December 2006 had been completely renovated and refurbished giving the Coral Cay Resort an extra 23 suite’s all with decors matched to the existing accommodation. With a total of 63 quality suites this made the Coral Cay Resort the second largest accommodation provider in Mackay.

In November 2009, a further 18, brand new units were built, bringing the total number of accommodation rooms available to 82. The Coral Cay Resort is still one of the largest accommodation providers in the Mackay area and definitely one of the best; although there are 82 suites/​apartments it still has its same family run business feel.
