we stayed here in Jan. 2010 and I can't speak highly enough about this place. Our party were my partner and I travelling from London, and our friends with their 4 year old son travelling from Melbourne (other than the 4 year old we are all in our twenties).
The location in general was brilliant, right on the beach and a short walk to surfers paradise, which we did every day. On a wider scale it was great too, a ten minute bus ride to Seaworld, a twenty minute cab ride to Wet'N'Wild and we booked a coach to take us to Australia Zoo, which took about two hours.
The Grounds of the hotel were kept in very good condition, very plush and very clean, and on the 2 days of sunshine we on on our 6 day visit (typical) we made full use of the pool and BBQ. The apartments were big, as were the bedrooms (we had 2 bedrooms in ours, one with En Suite) and they Foxtel (Sky TV). There only problems with the room were a broken ceiling fan and broken blind, both of which were fixed immediatey once we told the people that ran the apartments.
And their helpfulness didn't stop there. Every cab we took was booked for us by reception and the confirmation slip brought to us at the poolside, I went to enquire about a fan for the room and was handed one over reception, and when my girlfriend was stung by a jellyfish they even went as far as bringing vinegar to our room to take the pain away.
I could praise this place all day, even 4 days of miserable weather didn't dampen our spirits. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Although the apartment was spacious it was in need of renovating.The blinds in the minor bedroom didn't close at all. When we reported this to management we were advised they couldn't get anyone in to fix it because of the time of year, but it was quite obvious it had been broken for some time. A vacuum cleaner was provided but impossible to use as the wheel kept falling off. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable to sit on.
Was in a good location within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We spent 6 days here and 5 ngihts on the sunny coast in an apartment that cost the same but so much better for the money in every way.
