Megan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were pleasant, and while the rooms felt a bit dated—expected since the resort was built in the late seventies (i think) —we were okay with that. However, there’s no excuse for the apartment’s cleanliness. The floors were dirty, and the cutlery was not clean. The breadboard was in such poor condition that we covered it just to chop some watermelon. On a positive note, the location was great, with an easy walk or ride to the main strip of Surfers Paradise.

This Apartment complex is in my opinion the best value on the GoldCoast. I rented it for my parents who were attending a golf championship. And would definitely recommend it to those who would loke a bit bigger soace than a hotel room offers. The ability to cook and have a lounge area to chill in.. Plenty of parking and great views
