Just an apartment to stay in for 4 days. Recommended by two friends that also stayed there at the same time. Resort really needs to be modernised. Don't think we'd (all 3) would stay there again with so many bigger & newer locations. Fittings, Lighting & Power Points need updating badly. Lampshade cover disintegrating, Towel rail nearly off wall.

The best things about this place are that it is cheap and close to the beach and resturants. Other than that it isnt great. The room is tiny and doesn't look very clean. I had to squash a cockaroach on our first night there. The walls are thin so you can hear the people in rooms next door to you very easily. They only give a small amount of free wifi. The pool is kept quite clean and is nice though. There is pretty much no free parking around and they do not provide you with a parking space.

Great location, close to beach, shopping, casino and exhibition centre. Although it is a dated building, room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend this place for a short stay on the Gold Coast. Would have been happier with my stay if there were lifts to access my room.

The location is perfect - close to eating establishments, supermarket & public transport. Unfortunately I didn't know there was no lift. I have a disability that sometimes makes walking difficult. I didn't realise there's *3 Aruba hotels* so walked several blocks until I reached the right one. I was hobbling in pain by the time I arrived and was mortified there was no lift. I assume people with disabilities aren't welcome at Aruba hotels(!). I was in so much pain I comitted

The apartment was very dirt, you only needed to use the bath mat and it spoke for itself. Blankets were disgusting and trying to ask for a clean blanket from manager Serena was impossible. She was awful and very argumentative. My husband purchased laundry liquid to clean a blanket. We had an unpleasant stay and would not recommend this place to anyone. Trying to retrieve our refund was and is still an ongoing saga. Serena and Wotif have contradicting stories. Nit something you need when you have loved one on the hospital.
