Very much enjoyed as usual.
Pros:

We have stayed there several times before, always requesting a north facing room looking over the park towards the surf club, and with the beach and surf immediately to the right. Wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the pounding surf!

Cons:

Not much!

A wonderful escape to the sun. A beautiful beach walk to Surfers Paradise main esplanade
Pros:

this apartment was at the end of Main Beach, with only a park and the sea to look out to from the balcony. This meant we had sun all day and a beautiful view .

Cons:

road works due to a lot of construction around, so it made access in and out slightly harder by car.

It was good thank you.
Pros:

Beautiful View and a lovely living area.

Cons:

The cupboards and doors need a proper clean please. There are some areas (corners in the rooms and bathrooms) and walls that are really dirty. The curtains need a wash as wel..

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
