Easy check in and out. However booked a one bedroom apartment with pull out bed in the lounge. When we requested sheets for the pull out we were told it would be an extra $44 AUD per night! We booked and paid for an apartment with two beds expecting to be able to use the two beds! There was no mention of additional charges if you wished to use the pull out bed and $44 AUD per night for just an extra set of sheets is extortion. ##### Lynne Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teagan Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Place was great.

It’s very rundown. Shower is shocking goes from cold to boiling hot every couple of mins. Not that clean lots of dust on skirting boards and lots on ornament on table. Just ok, I have frequented Aruba properties on the Gold Coast and this one is by far the worst. ##### MELANIE Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen Dec 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Kellie on reception was very friendly and helpful, as well as patient with me when I kept entering the wrong pin number for debit card. My husband & I had a comfortable 8 night stay. Our apartment was quiet & private at the back of the building with a large verandah. Everything worked well and aircon was brilliant. Shower water pressure was great with good temperature. Pool & Spa area are well maintained. Our apartment was serviced half way through our stay which was much appreciated. This location can't be beaten! Everything required is within a short walk. NOTE TO OWNER OF APARTMENT 2\. Something needs to be done to cover up the unsightly brown stains on the side of the washing machine beside the toilet, or replace with new machine. We freaked out when we first saw it, then on closer inspection my husband said it looks like rust coming from washing machine. The apartment is nice and has a lot going for it, so it is such a shame about the appearance of the washing machine. ##### Kathleen Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, communication The central location ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Yvonne Jan 15, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Caution before renting The pictures do not represent the apartment's current condition. No air conditioning in the bedroom. Mouse turds in the closet. Entering the building, common area are worn, dated and dirty. The apartment furniture is rubbish, beyond op shop quality, soiled and damaged. Appliances are old but work. The microwave is rusty inside, not usable for health reasons. Window coverings do not blackout. It is impossible to regulate hot and cold water mix in the shower. The biggest disappointment was the floors were filthy upon arrival. Midway in our stay service cleaning was included. In reality it was changed of linen and garage out. Nothing else. We clean apartment ourselves. Management are aware of these concerns as we told the reception. On the positive, the bed is comfortable, clean linens and towels. Pool, spa and outdoor bbq are good. In conclusion absolutely not worth the price. ![Mice poop](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/285c6ced-b080-407a-b6be-a5e22406b912-1768436254437.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yvonne Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Wayne Oct 11, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness It was easy to get there and close to where we needed to be.
