Short and sweet; Pretty decent spot for a bunch of teenagers just trying to have a weekend away.
Pros:

The location was great!

Cons:

Some of the kitchen cupboards were broken/wonky and the spa was out of order which left the freezing cold pool as an only option in winter.

Convenient but disappointing
Pros:

Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

Air conditioner was filthy with what looked like mould in it, a lot of it. We were worried about using it.
Lots of glasses and plates we pulled from cupboards were dirty.

Superb
Pros:

Ground level, river front apt with quiet and pleasant views plus a big patio. Roomy apartment with 2 bedrooms, family bath and master en-suite, clean and tidy and surprisingly, large bottles of Body Wash supplied in both bathrooms.
Very short walk (1× block) to the centre of Surfers Paradise, secure, off-street basement parking.
Loved the location and sunrise/sunsets over the river, listened to the Anzac memorial on the partially covered patio with a cup of hot tea then watched an incredible thunderstorm blow through post ceremony.
Modern washer and dryer in unit, handy after caught in a downpour returning from walk to town.

Cons:

Unit (#11) is very dated - maybe 80's and not the sleek modern apartment that was prominently advertised on the website.
Kitchen cupboard doors need hinges fixing and doors hung crooked when opened, no 'dish washer' cleaner available so had to wash dishes by hand, bathroom dated with chipped tiles and dripping tap in ensuite. Small step up to both bathrooms a tripping hazard. Shower door in ensuite very narrow but managed to squeeze through.
Although in need of some maintenance, we consider the fee paid for our stay in unit 11 value for money, the apt 9/10 for it's location, space, views and security. We would book again for future holidays and recommend Surfers Del Rey to others.
