I have come to Swell many times to visit family who are permanent residents there. This probably gives me a different perspective on the place because I'm not there to get my money's worth for a once-a-year break. eg, I can't comment on front-of-house or cleaning staff, because I don't need to see them. Here's my take, in no particular... More

the resort is nice and the rooms clean however we booked on a deal and we were given a very outdated room when we were after a more modern one, however apart from this the room had everything we needed and was clean and the staff helpful, it was not however very close to the town which we did not...

Arrived after business hours - was given good clear directions as to how to obtain room key. Parking was in secured area, although found it a little confusing as to which lift to take, as complex is actually on two sites. Apartment was clean bedrooms small, and beds not so comfortable but for two nights ok. Bathroom ensuite was good... More

Rooms were clean, but barely an ocean view, more of the highway. staff were fairly friendly, however tavern and bottleshop below had closed down which wasn't advertised on website. very uncomfortable couch and bed, with beds zipped together! good rate for our honeymoon but...

We booked our Christmas/New Years break a year before, so were very excited about our holiday! It rained almost every day - but even this couldn't ruin our break! For the price we paid for peak season we were very happy with our one bedroom self contained apartment, which ended up being more of a 2 bedroom (secon room was... More

Having read previous reviews, took the opportunity to ask for a room away from the Gold Coast Highway and not above the Tavern. Got what I asked for and could not have been happier. Really enjoyed the Hotel and will certainly return again. More

The resort on the whole is quite nice. Although not directly on the beach it is close and about a 2 minute walk to the swimming flags. Be aware that an "Ocean View" room is more like "Ocean Glimpse" and NOT worth the extra money. As other reviewers have said, the traffic noise on the ocean side of the building... More

My husband and I had spent many holidays on the Gold Coast prior to having a family, however, this was the first time visiting the Gold Coast for our children aged 7, 11 and 15 and we could not have asked for a better introduction. The family apartment we stayed in (a 2 plus 1) was simply amazing. Very clean... More
