Guest Reviews
- Linda (10/5): We will come again - Lovely little studio apt with everything we needed for a couple of nights stay - great location and excellent resort facilities Nothing
- Dustin (10/5): - The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and the shower was great 👍 👌 the lounge was super comfy it is quite at night and is close to everything for a awesome night out definitely will stay again 👌😊 The coffee machine in the lobby didn't have any cups other then that everything else was great
- Ian (1/5): Room either double booked or had a random person in it - Nothing didn't stay Room wasn't ready and was either double booked or had some random person staying in it. Cleaners tried to give me there personal unit which was full of there belongings (clothes etc)
Took 2 hours to get in contact and have someone provide me with an update. Have never had this happen on booking before and it was absolutely disgusting to try and offer a room full of someone's personal belongings.
- Nadine (9/5): - Easy to check in, undercover parking was easy. The apartment was spacious and it had a bath tub. Wish we had longer to enjoy the facilities. The apartment could easily house a queen or king bed for extra comfort.
- Tim (9/5): Well Worth it - Mostly Everything was exceptional. I must say that the lady at the desk is fairly miserable and needs work on her customer service.
- Samantha (8/5): -
- Siubhan (9/5): Excellent. Will stay there again. - Couldn’t work out the lift to get to the basement car park
- Pia (3/5): No vuelvo nunca mas - Ubicación Se señala que es una habitación pero en realidad es un estudio, deberían mejorar la descripción y no estaba bien limpio
- Kitty (8/5): -
- Jacqui (9/5): -
- Tanya (9/5): -
- Christine (8/5): Schönes Apartment - Lage war perfekt Nichts zu bemängeln
- Terry (9/5): -
- Markylee (9/5): -
- Savas (1/5): -
- Peter (6/5): Could be improved - Had everything we needed close to entertainment cafe’s restaurant and rail. The bed in this particular unit was way too soft. Now I’m up for a week of discomfort that this bought on.
- Karolína (8/5): - Everything was nice, clean, near everything you need
- NAO (8/5): - 立地条件もとても良く、室内の清掃も行き届いており満足です。
サウナやジム、プールも着いており非日常を体験することが出来ました。
- Lisa-Marie (10/5): -
- Nicki Sowman (8/5): - Fantastic location. Plenty of room in apartment. Lovely pool facilities.
- Jenna (10/5): -
- Carla (9/5): Great stay & would stay here again. - Very central property and very secure. Front desk staff were slightly unpleasant. Pool was great & the garden suite was spacious. Few wee stains & hairs on bed but nothing major
- Linda J (7/5): An above Average and Relaxing Stay - The easy access to the keys was good. The bed was very comfortable. The pool was big and luxurious, and the spa was good. I liked the views from the pool area. I missed the personal touch of checking in at the reception and speaking with a person. I didn't like the shower in the bath and the bath was too small and it was hard to switch the shower over to the bath and the shampoo dispenser was empty. Someone threw up just outside the our door and it was never cleaned. I wasn't able to see the fireworks from my room and as the the pool door was locked i could only view the fireworks through the glass of the door.
- Atkinson (8/5): -
- Sian (7/5): Great location for accessing everything. - Proximity was great Property especially bathroom and kitchen area looks a bit tired. Really struggle with the parking bollard but a message to Josh gave us another option.
- Prudence (10/5): - C'était super ! Rdc de l'hôtel côté piscine et entrée de l'hôtel. Pas très loin du centre C'était bien.
- Claudia (8/5): -
- Lachlan (8/5): -
- Vhux (10/5): - Great location, comfortable unit. Very nice amenities (pool, gym etc). Very clean and tidy complex. Nice and quiet.
- Joslin (9/5): Lovely little unit - The location and such a lovely tidy little apartment. Perfect to use as a base for the sport carnival we were attending. Would like the massive tennis court lights blocked out from the unit. I understand the need for security but the unit was quite bright as the blinds did not stop the outside lights from waking us up.
- Alana Hughes-Dew (6/5): - The location of the hotel was amazing close to everything. The pool area was the stand out Apartment was ok. Up keep needs to be alittle better and needs better cleaning. Didn't like that we were not told is was not a serviced apartment.
- Laura (6/5): - Good location and nice host The room was very outdated, didn’t feel like it was cleaned properly and I think for the amount we paid we should have been given enough toilet paper, and basic shampoo and conditioner to last us through our stay instead of having to go out and buy our own if we ran out. I later found it was more expensive than what the hotel charges anyway as it was privately owned.
- Paige (10/5): -
- Susan (10/5): -
- KIDO (8/5): 過ごしやすく良かったです。 - テレビのビデオに日本の番組もあって良かったです。 無料の駐車場があると言う紹介でしたが勝手に駐車場に停める事ができず、困っていた所、コンシェルジュの方が何度かオーナー様に連絡をとってくれて、オーナーと連絡がとることができ何とか駐車場が使えた
- Randolph (8/5): - No knives at all in the kitchen to cut things.
- Dena (7/5): -
- Colleen (6/5): Nice resort, don’t book unit 25! - Great location, easy walk to shopping centre and food outlets. Safe secure parking with designated spot protected by bollard. This unit was privately owned so reception staff would not help with any issues we had which was disappointing… on arrival we found the bath had a dark greasy tidemark of scum which was disgusting! Booking.com connected us with the owner who did not get back to us as he promised….. our much anticipated Gold Coast holiday began with cleaning ….
The air conditioner played up…
and we could not access any streaming services as they were all ‘private’ settings.
Cabinetry in Unit 25 was pretty old and damaged… again not up to the standards we expected in a nice resort….(see photos)
I would never book another privately owned unit again through Booking.Com….
- Paula (10/5): Fabulous 1 bed apartment with great facilities 10 min from beach - Spacious! Great pool ,wifi ,bath, sauna, free parking and 10 mins from beach Nothing
- Iteriteka (10/5): -
- Katherine (4/5): Disappointing that there was no privacy funless the black out curtains were drawn. - The pool spa and sauna were good overlooking the water The room itself did not have a “garden view”. It was like a motel with a car park right outside the windowed doors. So there was no privacy unless the black out curtains were drawn - which then felt claustrophobic. There should be net curtains for privacy, yet to still let light in the room.
- Lesley (10/5): Comfortable, clean and cosy apartment, close to everything you need! :) - It was clean, comfortable and cosy. Very easy to get to everything, shops and transport all close by. There was nothing not to like
- Ross (9/5): Superb -
- Leo (9/5): Superb - The unit is extremely comfortable, quiet, clean and within easy walking distance to Surfers Paradise central. Secure undercover parking is a bonus. Access was easy with clear instructions. The resort also has a good range of facilities. The only thing I could not find was a cloth to wash the dishes and wipe the kitchen bench.
- Sarah (9/5): - Apartment had all we needed and a very short walk to the shops and tram
- Grant (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lyvia (9/5): Superb -
- Shandelle (8/5): Very good - Location was great
Walking distance to Gold Coast City centre
- Fidelia (10/5): It’a great place to stay. Great money value. A place that gave u peace of healing. - The environment was good , peaceful . We like the room style. Pool under renovation . Can’t use Netflix even though we already follow the instruction that have been given at the book. Internet also a bit slow .
- Bridie (10/5): Cosy, spacious & clean - Cosy, spacious & clean in a great location. Beautiful room, easy to find and great communication with the owner. Paper thin walls. We could hear a couple next door doing their thing.
- Lynette (10/5): I'll b back again in couple weeks - Everything and its only walking distance to shops pubs and transport
- Mandeep (8/5): Outdated resort overall, prime location. - The bedroom and lounge area were cute and updated. Location was convenient with a 10 minute walk to surfers paradise. Underground secure car park provided. The rest of the accom I.e bathroom and kitchen were outdated and the furniture rotting. Room had a funky smell when the sliding doors were closed the whole day so every time we returned we would open the doors wide open for a fresher smell. The common areas were not cleaned on a regular basis as cockroach was sitting in the hallway for over 24 hours. The swimming pool/spa was closed so was unable to use the facility.
- Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
- Elizabeth (5/5): Uncomfortable beds with tired looking facilities situated in nice location is the only bonus - Swimming pool was nice
Garden Setting
Not exposed to the Surfers paradise night time noise
Tranquil surrounds property YES THIS IS THE CORRECT REVIEW FOR THE STAY AT THIS PLACE - FEEDBACK FROM OWNER - QUESTIONING WHETHER I REVIEWED FOR THE CORRECT ESTABLISHMENT - REALLY
Bed and pillows were uncomfortable to the point I had to purchase a pillow to be comfortable.
The pillows supplied were GROTTY - STAINED YELLOW MARKS WHEN I REMOVED THE PILLOW CASE TO WASH so yuk disgusting not clean
The place looked tired . FOR EXAMPLE KITCHEN CABINETS WERE PEELING, STOVE CRACKED IN CORNER JUST TO MENTION the last thing you want to experience when on holidays
Curtains in bedroom not closing properly, missing hooks on edge WHILE THEY WERE BLOCK OUT CURTAIN THE POINT I AM MAKING IS THAT COULDNT BE DRAWN 100% BECAUSE HOOKS ON ONE EDGE WERE MISSING
Tables and chairs looked cheap and were not sturdy lacking comfort due to no seat padding
Back of couch was sagging - no support
The adjoining walls ARE THIN - I WAS WOKEN UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FROM NOISES GOING ON IN THE ADJACENT /AJOINING ROOM - AND THAT WAS NOT APPRECIATED........
Kitchen cabinets were old and looked they were over used .. peeling on edges - not great visually. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO
Toilets did not flush properly - waste of water having to flush several times
Internet lagged - NO netflix - youtube YES
No tissue box supplied
No extra blankets
WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!
- Jun (8/5): Very good -
- Moushumi (7/5): Good -
- Louise (6/5): Pleasant - It was great to have laundry facilities in the bathroom area Would be good to have some extra plates/cutlery/toilet paper and towels for longer stay. Would be useful to have extra key tag if people are going different places.
- Jorja (7/5): Overal, an adequate stay, it was enough for us. Could be improved with a few minor changes. Not too bad for the price. - Great location, comfy bed, clean, wifi and tv was great! Not sure if I’m being a little nit picky but We felt like we didn’t quite have everything we needed. Such as not enough toilet paper, the hand soap was basically empty so we had to buy a new one to replace it. No bbq utensils so had to buy those also to use the facilities. This was a little frustrating as by buying these things we were adding them to the apartment for guests after us to continue to use, ultimately paying extra for our stay to improve the apartment for the owner and their other guests after us. Toilet didn’t flush too well. Small things like not having a rack to dry dishes or anywhere to dry clothes that we washed. (There is a dryer but we find they shrink our clothes so we prefer not to use them)
We also had the fire alarm go off at night/in the middle of the night on multiple occasions which were false alarms which was quite frustrating as well.
- Kirsten (8/5): Relaxing - Nice and clean room Needed help checking in but the girl at the reception was not in a good mood.
Need a shower near the pool
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
- BradB777 (8/5): Tired but represents value for budget conscious traveller - The location of this hotel is brilliant just a short walk (maybe three blocks) to the beach and a couple more to the Surfers Paradise strip.
The hotel itself is tired but the room was clean and well equipped with kitchen, laundry and bedroom. The couch was old and smelt however. I covered it with a spare towel. Ceiling fan in bedroom was broken though two air con units made up for it I suppose ( though I prefer to sleep with a fan than air con).
Balcony had nice canal views and the pool area was great with spa and water feature though I think you’d struggle to get a sunlounge in peak periods.
Overall, very tired and in need of some renovations but it represents good value for the price. You’re not paying much so don’t expect too much and you’ll be happy.
- Miller (5/5): Passable -
- Matthew (8/5): Very good - Location, comfortable bed, spacious apartment, powerful shower, secure parking underground. Minor negative point, broken light bulb in bathroom ( health & safety risk)
- Bronson (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ainsley (7/5): Good - Location, parking, pool Gym didn’t really have much in it so wasn’t really an amenity to note. Would have been nice if the apartment had tennis rackets so that we would use the tennis courts. Didn’t have everything you needed in order to do your own cooking, we were missing a dish towel for the kitchen, dish washer pods. There was only enough laundry detergent for one load. Would have been nice to have extra in case of a second load. Quite expensive for the amenities provided. Stains on the carpet and couch.
- Kirsty (8/5): Very good -
- Ricky (10/5): Exceptional - Checkin process was easy and quick, location great room great staff great Overall building could be cleaner
- Svetlana (8/5): Good - Good location All good
- Nadine (6/5): Pleasant - Great location, close to the beach, cafè, restaurants and shops, the pool was lovely Unfortunately we had issues straight away on arrival. The apartment which was booked for 3 adults was not provided with linen, pillows or towels for the third adult when contacting the host no reply and nothing had been done about it which is really sad and annoying. I wouldn't recommend the airbnb which is seperate from the rest of the Paradise Island Resort which is wonderful. Staff is super helpful and friendly and gave me extra linen and towels to make my stay great.
- Simon (7/5): Good -
- Women_Travel_Solo (6/5): Not very impressed, but did the job - Price and location is brilliant. The concept of the room is great, with dining, lounge, self-contained kitchen. But it is dated. Don't expect much.
The splash back needed wiping down from someone's coffee splashes. Need to improve the coffee and milk options. The kitchen drawers were all scratched.
Such a shame because it is in an ideal spot. Pool area is absolutely beautiful
- Melissa (10/5): Excellent location and room. Highly recommend. - It was well presented and in a great location so you could just walk everywhere. There were no sheets on the sofa bed and it was very uncomfortable anyway. So was forced to share a bed with my dad with the pillow in the middle. However the main bed was very comfortable and big enough to share.
- Scott (8/5): I thought it was great. Really pleased with my stay. - Location and the resort it self was great. Dyer didn’t work and toilet didn’t flush properly.
- Zoe (9/5): Superb -
- Jayne (9/5): Superb - Clean, lovely pool area. Walking distance to everything
- Pannu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Allen (8/5): was nice and very secure would return - easy access to local attractions resturaunts and beach all any easy wlk getting a bit dated now but still comfortable
- Rachael (9/5): Loved the stay - The location was awesome. The pool area was lovely. We had a lovely stay I was disappointed as I thought it was a 1 bedroom apartment, however this is a studio apartment.
- Paris (9/5): Superb -
- Sandra (9/5): Our stay was great, would stay again - Property was clean
Bed was very comfortable, we slept so well
Very close to large shopping centre The toilet was on the blink
Needed maintenance
- Glen (9/5): Gold Coast Stay - Great location, very nice facility overall. The lounge was quite uncomfortable and needs replacing, apart from that it was good.
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - The pool was beautiful, apartment very clean. Would highly recommend There wasn't anything I didn't like
- Fern (9/5): Nice room, great location! - Location is 10/10! Lovely room, great location!
- J (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tess (10/5): We had a lovely stay and it was very comfortable. - It was close to everything and the staff were very kind and helpful The spa didn’t work. I just wish they had of sad that beforehand. And the dryer in room 25 didn’t work.
- Bernics (8/5): Great Value - We had a quick one night stay here and really only needed a place to sleep.
It's an older building with rooms that are a bit outdated BUT, for the price it is completely fine. Our room was quite spacious as well.
The pool area looked pretty nice and enticing.
Walking distance into Cavil Ave, so many shops and dining options nearby.
I'd recommend if you're on a bit of a budget and not too bothered about having a very modern room.
- Rapshar (8/5): Thank you for a relaxed stay, would love to stay at your accomodation again. - Loved the accommodation, it was very comfortable, wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night to enjoy the facilities! Easy check in and check out and facilities were modern. Pool looked amazing!
- Stephen (5/5): Passable - Not much Old apartment looking very tired same as the complex there are better options on the coast. Adequate best describes thee apartment
- Vj (9/5): Superb - Walk to the Beach, to the Shops.
Walk to my Conference,
The basement has secured the carpark, Leaking water tap for the laundry sink.
- Traveler11902775165 (2/5): Filthy. Never again. - We had a late check in at midnight.
When we walked into our room, we were greeted with the smell of sewerage from the blocked toilet so we had to be disturbed within the first 10 mins of being at the island resort because management had to come and unblock it.
Straight away you could see that this room had not been cleaned at all for god knows how long. I can't believe what places like this get away with.
There are no words that can describe the filth we paid to stay in. Sure it's easy to say we would just leave and go elsewhere, but it's midnight and I've just finished a 12 hr shift and then drove a couple hrs to get to this hell hole so I could make the most of the 2 days I had off work. I'm not sure if this review will get put up or approval, but this so called "Paradise Resort" is a hole in hell. Absolutely disgusting. The first thing I do know is check every single room I stay in before I unpack. I take photos if it's filthy and name and shame, so if this post does not get approved, you can bet it will be posted on Facebook anyway. People like this are to well protected and get away with ripping people off.
- Richard (7/5): Good - Dripping tap ,cockroach poo in cutlery drawer
- Chantal (6/5): Not really as described! - The facilities were good, pool was lovely and a great location to everything. The couch and floor rug were very badly stained - really need to be thoroughly steam cleaned or replaced. One privacy blind was missing and one of the block out blinds kept breaking on us and my husband had to fix it several times. The original photos showed a balcony view over the river however this room was located on the ground floor overlooking the reception carpark so we were very disappointed as we gave up another booking overlooking the ocean for this resort. Its also not serviced. Sadly wouldnt book here again.
- John (7/5): Good -
- Christopher (9/5): Superb -
- Khama (9/5): Best honeymoon in paradise island resort - Me and my wife were there for our honeymoon, we loved the room and resort itself, room was tidy and clean, bed comfortable and pool and gym was used everyday and very handy to enjoy. Location was very convenient easy to walk to all of the malls and cafes and restaurants. Car park was extremely helpful for our rental car. The only thing that was a surprise was that the clothes dryer in the room wasn't working but that was a minor thing and didn't effect or ruin our time there 😊
- Yunwei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Le (9/5): Superb -
- X6825IMsarahf (2/5): Beware! Do not stay here! - Is a disgusting hotel
I never leave reviews for hotels but I felt as if I had to.
There is no good in this hotel our room
Was beyond dated furniture paying over $100 a night you expect a clean room
This room
Was far from it . Exposed nails on the floor. Dirty carpet and bed. Mould in kettle and fridge
This place needs to be closed down and re done.
Also I think it’s totally ridiculous that they think 2 towels for two people staying for 5 days is enough. I had to pay $3 extra for more towels .
Do not stay here!
This hotel almost ruined our holiday.
Also we did complain about the room and got given another room
Which wasn’t much better again mould in fridge and kettle
Bathroom fan not working. Toliet didn’t flush properly
And we both came home with bed bug bites
- Vansh (9/5): Superb - The location is amazing and the room is good.
I’d recommend it for Gold Coast. Close to the beach and has very nice amenities.
- Ryann (9/5): Superb -
