I recently returned from a wonderful weeks stay at the Sunset Island Resort in Surfers Paradise with two friends. I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay there. Firstly, the staff members working on the front desk were so friendly and kind, they greeted us every time we arrived and left the Resort. We were also lucky... More

Upon our recent stay here in a 2 bedroom apartment I was not impressed with the standard of service in this place. Upon arrival room looked clean but on closer inspection floors were greasy and grotty, bedroom carpet was best described as "pub carpet" sticky and disgusting, I doubt if it had ever been steam cleaned at all. Kitchen cupboards... More

We stayed at the Sunset Island resort for 2 nights in late march, upon arrival we were impressed at the cleanliness of the apartments. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, with a large doubler room and small twin room (twin room so small that with 2 beds in the room, the door wouldn't close). However the lounge/kitchen area was...

My partner and I stayed here for 8 days over the new year period. We found the location pretty good although, in the heat the walk back and forth from town and the beach does get a bit tiring. Our one bedroom apartment was a good size and it was great having the pool on site. What we didn't like... More

My mother and I had a one-bedroom apartment here for two nights. She had the bedroom, I had a sofabed which was just fine. It was very reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. Excellent value. It is a bit of a hike up to the high life of Surfers' and to the beach, (elderly and children would find it difficult) but... More

When we arrived the unfriendliness of the person on reception was a surprise. This was compounded when we discovered that we were on the third floor and there was no lift/elevator (my wife has had a knee replacement and struggles with stairs). The unfriendliness continued when we asked why the A/C didn't work - there was sarcasm but we are... More

Firstly, I don't usually comment on reviews but I must this time. I don't know how they got a four star rating. 1. The door into the second bedroom couldn't be closed as one of the bed was squeezed in and to long.we had to climb over a bed to get to the window to open drapes. 2. Two plates... More
