Pros:

Location was great for eating out, closeness to beach and shopping. However the actual accommodation was a bit old, tired with broken or not working fittings (shower screen, drapes and badly worn furnishings inside & out). Staff were good.

Pros:

The location was the only good thing for our stay. The facility is old and has only been updated in the furnishings. I could urinate a stronger flow than their shower and it took ages to regulate the heat of the water to a suitable temp. Very hard to converse with the staff who were of foreign nationalities to Australia.

Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Aruba Beach Resort during our visit to Broadbeach. The location truly can’t be beaten — just a 1-minute walk and you're right in the heart of all the shops, cafes, and the beautiful beach. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable.

While the resort is a little older, it’s well-maintained and has everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Our room was incredibly spacious, with a separate kitchenette that came in very handy, and a large walk-in wardrobe/storage area that really added to the sense of space. We also appreciated the lounge and TV area, which made it feel more like a home away from home.

Just a heads-up: there’s no lift/elevator, so if you have mobility concerns, it’s a good idea to request a ground-floor unit when booking.

Overall, Aruba Beach Resort is a great value, perfectly located, and a lovely base for a Broadbeach escape. We would definitely stay here again!

Pros:

Overall the area was great. But no shampoo or conditioner supplied. No soap holder in the shower was weird had to keep putting the soap on the floor. Only 2 little long Life milks supplied for a 2 night stay so couldn't even have coffee.

Pros:

I enjoyed my stay, I felt safe, had the very top apartment (4 floors up), two heavy suitcases to get up/down the stairs was the challenge. I was very happy to have a washing machine & dryer in the studio. Close to the Tram, everything was convenient. Happy to book with Aruba again and request second floor studio next time, thank you

We were a bit unsure after reading some previous reviews but we very pleased when we arrived.The rooms were all spotless and nicely furnished.The staff were so helpful and very pleasant.We also had under cover parking which is a real bonus.The only down side was the stairs as there is no lift.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay at Broad Beach.
