“Spectrum Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

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 Spectrum have such as the pools, spas, tennis courts etc. are second to none in their quality. The various apartments which we have stayed in have always been clean, fresh, and a pleasure to sleep in. The view is immaculate over looking the beautiful Nerang River, Budds Beach, Surfers Paradise and also the beach only a few minutes walk away.

Room Tip: All rooms are of high quality from level 1 - 19. Each room has a view but obviously the higher the r...

“Superb Unit 502 with Free Wifi and Fab view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

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 unit is only a 5 minute stroll to Surfers central shopping area. It’s beautifully quiet at night and the apartment has a glorious wide view of the beach and surrounding area. Apartment 502 has been refurbished to a quality standard and we found it perfectly clean with a good kitchen and laundry. Apartment 502 is in the deluxe category.

There is even free wifi in this unit (only in unit 502 because the owners have their own contract with Vodafone, which gives free availability to the occupants.) So, ask for this unit if you want the free wifi. We had an iPad and an HP notebook operating at the same time. It’s great for kids if the weather turns wet and also perfect for checking news and emails. The TV with Foxtel was great too.

There is a large, wide, covered deck, an excellent outdoor swimming pool (just renovated), bbq area, indoor heated pool and half tennis court. There is also covered security parking and a good lift service. Our 6 year old son loves the sandy beach and calm water.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and we can’t wait to go back!

Room Tip: Apartments at Spectrum vary in the level of renovation, so make sure you're aware of this when b...

We have stayed at the Spectrum Apartments on the Gold Coast for now 6 years running and every stay gets better! The apartments are well appointed, clean and very comfortable. The management are absolutely lovely and make our stay carefree and easy. The apartment view of the sea or Budds beach are great and it is located close to the hub of Surfer's Paradise. Highly recommended!
Diana Cimiotti

Room Tip: All the rooms have great views - ask for sea or Budds Beach!

“Thanks for another great holiday Spectrum!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

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 transport to the theme parks. The lovely girl at reception organized all our tickets to the attractions and theme parks and it was sooo nice to relax in the spa after a day's walking... Later in the year we went back to Queensland for a party at Coolangatta and opted to stay at Spectrum again even though we had to travel half an hour to the party and back. In 2010 we visited Queensland again for a wedding and also stayed at Spectrum - we have our favourite room now - 1301. We've just returned from our most recent stay at Spectrum and, as always, never disappointed! I tell all our friends and family to try Spectrum so I thought I'd write a quick review and tell everyone else.

Room Tip: 1301 has views in all directions beautiful at night too.
