I have stayed here a few times and find it a great place. All the apartments are beachfront (across the road from the beach) and it is close to the centre of Surfers Paradise (2 blocks) and restaurants and supermarkets. Apartments differ in decor and hence it is better to choose your apartment to get the best one. Some are... more

Recently went to the Gold Coast for 10 day holiday staying in 4 different apartments. This was the worst! and the most expensive! Booked over the internet and pictures and advertising looked good & promote "resort apartments". We arrived to be greeted with a tired unappealing foyer. Arrived on floor where our apartment was located. Musty smelling hallway. And apartment...well... more

Having stayed at Imperial Surf over the last 5 -6 years on holidays, it has steadily declined. The views are breath takingly amazing - thank goodness - but this is to be our last visit. Our "deluxe" aparetment was very tired, scorch marks in the carpet, the TV could only get reception for 2 chanels, the lights above the servery... more

We booked the Deluxe 2 Bedroom Ocean View. Apartment was grotty with previous tenants rubbish, dirty stained bedspreads and a broken lamp shade with duck tape covering exposed wires. All furniture should be on street in hard rubbish collection, bugs in master bed, vent in bathroom blocked with black dust that dropped, toilet kept running. To add to this, the... more

Needs some help on advertising.....touts itself as a 'contemporary' apartment. The furnishings were drab and old, the kitchen was right out of 'That 70's Show'. No AIR CONDITIONING (it is very hot and humid in this area) and NO MAID SERVICE. They will change your towels if you stay longer than 8 days! Yes it is right across the street... more

I had a 4-night-stay at Imperial Surf Resort Apartments in Feb-2008. A 2-bedroom apartment. The apartment is facing the beach. The location is very central, about 200 meters to the right of the apartment (from the front entrance), there is a Woolworths supermarket to get your groceries from if you like to cook at home. There is another supermarket if... more

Our stay in Surfers Paradise was fantastic but we were very disappointed in the Imperial Surf. It is very old and not well maintained. One night our stove hotplate wouldn't turn off, we couldn't contact anyone by phone (we were later told the phone wasn't working) and had to use the ground floor intercom twice to get any action. I... more

My wife, child and I stayed in 3C for seven days at a cost of just under two and a half thousand dollars. I dont mind a place being old but there is no excuse for filthy. The carpets were filthy, the lounge suite was filthy, the griller tray had a pool of fat in it, the main bedroom had... more

We spent 4 nights at the Imperial Surf and had a wonderful stay. However we booked our accommodation through the owner of our 18th floor apartment direct. We didnt book through the Imperial Surf and therefore only delt with the off-site letting agent. Our 2 bedroom apartment was very clean & accommodated our family of 5 with a roll-away bed... more
