“Here's my take: this is affordable, self-contained accommodation that has the advantage of being near Surfers Paradise Beach as well as many dining options. The management team is friendly, and the resort facilities are geared toward relaxation and family fun; plus, each apartment is individually decorated, so it feels less cookie-cutter. It's a practical base for a Gold Coast holiday.”
