Un piacevolissimo weekend sulla Goldie
Pros:

Struttura fronte mare, vista meravigliosa a pochi passi dalla stanza.
Molto carino lo stile, un po’ mid-century modern.
Abbiamo amato particolarmente il servizio di biciclette gratuito che ci ha permesso di trascorrere una splendida mattina, godendoci la Gold Coast fino a Coolangatta.
Comodo il parcheggio gratuito.

Cons:

Stanza carina, ma overpriced.
Letto molto piccolo.
Bagno un po’ freddo.
Si sente tanto rumore per via della prossimità dell’aeroporto, da tenere in considerazione per soggiorni lunghi.

Fantastic, well-equipped penthouse stay with beautiful ocean views.
Pros:

Wonderful stay for our family of five in the Ocean Vista penthouse! Incredible sunrise views, excellent amenities (having two bathrooms, a kitchen, and laundry was a lifesaver), and a very cool bar at the front.

Cons:

The only minor drawbacks were the limited dining and shopping options in the immediate vicinity. Also, as expected for a winter visit, the unheated pool was too cold to enjoy.

Really loved it, I’ll book it again when I come back to Gold Coast.
Pros:

Easy to get to, very charming and nicely presented. Lots of little extra touches the enhanced my comfort, friendly staff. Bikes for use whenever I needed.

Cons:

The pillows. Like sacks of cement. (I’m picky). I’m sure many people would like them, but a low profile option would have been appreciated. I’m small and a stomach sleeper.
