Disappointing! Dirty blankets and splatter marks on curtains , The whole room smelt old and musky. Couldn't believe how hard the bed was too, literally was like sleeping on the floor. Never again

Stayed here for 2 nights and honestly the place is pretty good considering we only paid $100 per night. We got a 2 bedroom unit within a 10 minute walk to Cavell Av. What more could you want for a gold coast holiday? The complex is dated and seemed to be circa 1970 and the original owners must of been French because there was alot of old French signage especially around the pool area. Pool was great, Spa worked ok, but was showing its age as the bubbles weren't very powerful but it was heated. (Oh yeh there is no button to make it go faster, so don't bother looking and the big red button next

We have been hear and stayed in the top 2 bedroom apartments quiet a few times everytime we come here we get a great deal. It's close to everything the pool is nice the apartments are nice and spacious. It's always clean and to a good standard. I have had no problem hear on my stays and I will always come back our family loves this place. Despite some of the bad reviews I have never had any problems thankfully. The apartments are aircondioned and have all the cooking utility that you need there is a beautiful bbq area by the pool very clean and fairly prices. Only suggestions would be that they

After needing to cancel our trip due to a hospital trip for my 7 year old we asked for a review on there cancellation policy through Agoda. Agoda where happy to refund but needed to check with the owners. The owners of the apartments needed a medical certificate to provide a refund for us. We had provided this for them and still no refund. Instead a special offer was offered. Unfortunately my daughter has a severe heart condition and is unable to travel for the foreseeable future which is also stated in the certificate. I would have thought that after providing what they needed some consideration

They tried to steal my bond one year ago. I had to make an opposition on my master card to get refund. Never trust them if it's not right on a paper. They will tell you extra key are free but they will charge you, same for cleaning. If you complain about your room because there is bedbugs they will tell you to leave the room to treat it, won't allow you to go inside because the product is dangerous, but they won't give you an other room. They will just drop the contract and tell you to leave. In this place there is only Indian people who accept to live at 5 or 6 in a place made for 3. It's a

Its tired, run down, stinks and not particularly clean... best bit was we found days old rotting food still in a pan in the cupboard in the kitchen. The basement stairwell to the apartments has obviously flooded at somepoint as it stinks too. Oh and we have had music blaring all night from one of our lovely neighbours! Would never stay again or recommend it!!! Certainly doesnt look like the pictures when booking online.... buyer beware!!
