Three night single bedroom apartment package was upgraded to a two-bedroom ocean (partial view) without a request - a nice touch for return guests. Apartment was clean and well appointed though maintenance on light fittings was needed - this simple repair was deferred until after we left. Proximity to main road resulted in some traffic noise - double glazing would... more

We have just returned from 8 nights at swell resort and we gave it a 12/10!! - After reading some of the reviews I was a little sceptical about how the place was going to be but I am so pleased that all we experienced was a wonderful modern apartment with all the facilities - modern kitchen, 2 tvs with... more

Thanks goodness I read previous reviews of this place, which helped a lot in being prepared for its drawbacks. The apartments are lovely and very clean (no bath in ours) and as we overlooked the pool, we didn't get noise from the tavern downstairs. However 'Ocean View" is comically misleading - it means a remote view of the sea with... more

My husband & I have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Swell Resort. Our apartment faced directly onto the Gold Coast Hwy . We heard the traffic all day & night and although it eased slightly at night it was still very hard to sleep. There is a tavern situated directly below the resort & on the... more

We enjoyed staying at Swell Resort. It met and exceeded our expectations. We had heard that road facing apartments can be a little noisy. There was some noise from the large balcony, but more noise from the birds at sunset! There was very little road noise with the doors shut and aircon on. more

We have just returned from 12 nights at Swell Resort and, quite frankly, can't wait to go back. Having read previous reviews from Trip Advisor members we specifically asked for a pool view room and were pleased to find our request was able to be accommodated. The room (1108) was well fitted out, spacious, and contained everything we needed for... more

I visited The Swell for a Xmas/Birthday celebration with family and friends. We were there for 7 nights . Upon arriving The Swell charged me again for my stay even though I had made them aware again that I had paid in full and then refunded my credit card over four seperate transactions leaving me out of pocket nearly $200.00... more

I stayed in my friend's apartment at Swell and what an experience. The noisey traffic from the highway made it impossible to rest. The tavern below cannot control it's patrons and the language is something else. I found great difficulty crossing the highway with my grandchildren. This forced us to only venture to the beach when the traffic was at... more
