    The apartment is in a fantastic location, with incredible views over the heart of Surfers and the ocean. It is large, comfortable, airy and modern and a very enjoyable space for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teens). We also received an early check-in which was perfect for us and very good of the rental agent (Gold Coast Luxury Resorts) to arrange.

    A family friendly resort that has a luxury feel! We had the best 2 day staycay - we didn’t need to leave the resort! The kids were in the pool all day and we hired a lagoon cabana which was so worth it! Nothing was too hard for the staff working here - we encountered some of the best customer service here, particularly the pool bar staff, Ava, Tori and Alexxia - they were so attentive, helpful and always had a smile on their face.

    The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and polite. The resort was fresh and dispite my fears of it being there so long that it may of been out dates it was updated, modern and very fresh. This is the perfect family resort with a kids zone, water park and pool area and a family movie room with movies at 5pm and 7pm each night. The live music each night at the buffet dinners was great and made the evenings a great opportunity to relax.
