Breathtaking
Pros:

If I wasn’t a hotel manager I would probably gatekeep this gem for myself but I know the importance of reviews!

We stayed in a deluxe two bedroom beachfront south apartment (801). It was amazing and the view was breathtaking (spent every moment in the room whale watching - one of my weekend highlights!). The room was very clean with everything we needed. We had great sleeps minus my tiny human alarm clocks but they prompted sunrise beach walks which I would have missed otherwise.

I was going to book a cheaper room at the property and have absolutely no regrets booking a renovated room with beachfront views.

I generally try to stay around Broadbeach but we were taking the kids to SeaWorld so opted to stay a bit closer. Location was perfect for us and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Took us 15 min slow walk with a 4 year old also walking to the tram station. This gave us access to action of surfers and Broadbeach without staying in the thick of it.

Beach access from the property was perfect. My daughter loved the super warm spa! A guaranteed secure carpark that was included was also a big plus from me. Staff were lovely too.

We got a buy one meal get a second free voucher for the Whiney Cow cafe upon checkin which was great value (not sure if this is offered all the time). We utilised this for breaky one morning and it was delicious! Also used their hole in the wall for takeaway coffees every other morning which were great. 7/11 being close by was also super handy.

Cons:

That I had to leave! Cant wait to return

Unparalleled views and beach access at a reasonable price point.
Pros:

The view from the wall-sized window of the beach is incomparable, steps to the sand, pool and spa were perfect temperatures and the price point beats similar accommodation anywhere else.

Cons:

Couldn't fault it.

Great apartment, great location
Pros:

Our family of 5 stayed here in an apartment that has been refurbished sometime in the last few years. It was large and spacious, well equipped, very comfortable and had great views.
Being right on the beach was lovely, but it's also a very short walk to Tedder Ave for restaurants and cafes and not much further along the street to the tram station.
Would highly recommend this apartment - I'm sure we'll be back.

Amazing and friendly staff, beautiful place to stay. Won’t be disappointed.
Pros:

Location was close to everything, beautiful beach, friendly staff. Our room had breath taking views.

Cons:

Not that we didn’t like it but we feel things were out dated with a little update would make it even better.
