Spent the first day trying desperately to find alternative accommodation. Could not sleep all night. Felt like the bed had fleas/mites. Went to the sofa bed only to find it padlocked. How dare they call themselves spectacular and rate themselves 4 stars! More

We are very disappointed by this review - this guests knows full well that this is not the case at all, it is in respond to having to pay an extra charge for using the sofa bed - when you book for 2 persons using the existing bedding (Queen Bed) that is what you get and when you bring in... More

Stayed there for a couple of days near the end of Feb 2012. We asked for a room by the pool and ground floor which was perfect and just right for our two year old daughter. Even though it rained most of the time there, our daughter really enjoyed using the pools. In fact the swimming pool was perfect for... More

We stayed for 6 nights at the Aruba Sands over New Years Eve. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to restaurants, Jupiter's Casino and Pacific Square. Nothing was too much trouble for Barbara and Bruce the managers. From confirming seat allocations, organising late check out, booking a taxi to the airport and recommending somewhere to eat. The rooms... More

Stayed here with mother in law, partner and 1 year old child. Staff were lovely, room clean if a little bit shabby. Balcony was great. Pool, bbq area and spa were very clean and maintained. Loved the location. Mother in law had arrived first and had extra bedding given and cot for child. Would stay again. More

Stayed here in a one bedroom self-contained unit for 2 weekend nights recently for a wedding. Place had most things you could want - was quite clean (though looking a little worn), comfortable, not too small and poky, cable TV was an added bonus, had good kitchen facilities for easy self-catering, dishwasher, washer and drier to catch up on your...

What a great holiday we had - the service was excellent the Managers were very helpful and gave us some good advice for reasonable eating and drinking. The apartment was very spacious , spotlessly clean and everything you needed. We just loved the location you could walk everywhere which made our holiday more enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

We stayed for 3 nights, selecting this place for its location. It is a 3 minute walk to the patrolled beach and the same distance from shops and restaurants. Being right next door to the Broadbeach Police Station gave it a sense of safety. It had everything we needed, was clean and well presented and everything worked. We knew it... More
