I have stayed at Spectrum for years now. My family and I are frequent visitors to the Gold Coast because of the great beaches, restaurants and friendly locals. Every time we have stayed there we have stayed at Spectrum. Each time we stay there it gets better and better. The management are so so friendly and helpful, the facilities which... More

We have just spent another great family holiday in apartment 502 at Spectrum Holiday Apartments, right opposite the lovely Budds Beach in Surfers Paradise. Budds Beach is beautifully calm, with white sand - perfect for our family. Bumbles Cafe - one of the best cafés we found in Surfers – is just along the road, opposite the beach and the... More

We are a family of 4 and first stayed at Spectrum in April 2009. We stayed for a week and had a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment and we couldn't have been more pleased with the cleanliness and facilities. The kids love the tennis and pool. Spectrum is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs and bars. Easy access to... More

Sorry to hear that this guest was disappointed with their apartment. Yes, the apartment does need some newer furnishings and is a little tired, but in this economy climate, owners have not had the extra monies to spend on their apartments. Even though the apartment is tired, I can assure guests that our apartments are clean and comfortable. The apartment... More

Stayed at Spectrum Apartments at Budds Beach recently. Really lovely grounds, and the apartments are spotless. Great location and close to Bumbles Restaurant - great food especially brekkies. Lovely views of the river and across to Suerfers. Price was really good - 7th night free deal on $140 a night for a full 2 bedder.....great value. More

We had a lovely stay. The building was well maintained for it's age. The grounds and facilities were kept very clean and well cared for. Our unit was most comfortable. We stayed in a 2 bedroom superior apartment, which had everything we needed in a self-contained apartment. The view of the river from the large balcony was fabulous, something different... More

My family stayed at the apartments in Sept 2008, and whilst it was in a very convenient location and very well priced thanks to lastminute.com it was definatley in need of refurbishment. The bathrooms and Kitchen both seemed tidy but dirty, with significant amounts of mould growing in the bathroom, and the carpets through out needing to be cleaned. The... More
