“"Very average accommodation, don't recommend"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Ideal location but for the price I feel you can do better, pool was not heated, and you only got 1 roll of toilet paper, (which is paper thin anyway).

There are charges and fines for all sorts of things, $1.80 for additional toilet paper, $75.00 if you don't clean the bar-b-que and a de-odouring fine if you smoke in the rooms, just felt all the fines were a bit extreme and did not make the accommodation feel homely.

Word of warning, the night-manager does not know how to speak to people, she is sarcastic, demeaning and should not be dealing with other members of the human race. She makes Basil Fawlty look like Jeeves the Butler.
There is no lifts so if you are not capable of lugging all your suitcases up 51 steps, then don't ask for a top level room.
The rooms were clean but smelt like urine when we first arrived.

The game room is tired and old with out dated video games, no windows and it was like a last minute decision to put it in the garage down in the back corner. The security guard must have been the night-managers son as he also lacked any customer service skills, telling me to leave the game room as it was 9pm and he had to lock up, despite the fact that I was half-way through a pool game.

On a positive, the location is wonderful and Geoffrey the day-mananger went out of his way to make my stay comfortable, offering advice on things to see and do and getting around the Gold Coast.

Having been to the Gold Coast for my last 6 holidays over the pass 5 years, I will not be returning to the K Resort, and will again book my next accommodation further down the coast in Broadbeach.

Room Tip: Don't take a room on 3rd level, no lifts up to it.

“Enjoyable stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011

people found this review helpful

I recently stayed at K Resort (Feb 2011) and really enjoyed it. We had one big, spacious apartment, it was clean and fully equipped, the staff were very helpful and friendly, telling us where the best restaurants and cafes were located and the pool was nice and cool after a long day in the sun. K Resort is a short walk from the beach and Cavill ave, and about a minute away from the nearest bus stop.

The only setback I would have to say would be that you can hear everything the people in the apartment above you are doing. Paper thin walls. Other than that, excellent price, location, staff and security. Will definitely be staying here Again.

“Pool cold , rooms small ,spa not working”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2010

people found this review helpful

The only thing this place has in it's favour is it's location . The rooms were small and the whole place could do with a good clean . The pool was cold and the spa was waem but the bubbles did not work . First the spa in our bathroom was not working and then the microwave did not work either nor did the phone . Manager was arrogant and unhelpful and woke my grandaughter up before 8 o'clock in the morning bashing down the door to have a look at the spa . I would not reccomend this place to any of my friends as I think there is better value for money around and would have moved out had I not pre-paid .

“Old and outdated, Pool cold, far better accomodation around for your money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010

people found this review helpful

Our stay at the K resort was not an enjoyable one, on arrival with the kids we found the pool cold, enquiring at reception we were given 2 different excuses to why it was cold, they did apparently get it serviced but on our departure it was still cold, the spa was warm but the bubbles didn't work and with every child staying in the resort using it as a pool you were lucky to get your big toe in.
The rooms are outdated could do with a good clean (carpets, tiles, mould off the bathroom roof) beds need to be updated.
The security is very good and the grounds are well maintained, it is in a great position to the centre of Cavil ave and resturants.
Sound insulation is needed as you can hear people walking around above you and the toilet flushing...Far better places to stay...

“Value for money!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

If you know what you are getting yourselves into, then this is the place to be. I did the usual tripadvisor homework before placing a reservation. Definitely know that this is a value for money apartment and, hence, was prepared to stay there.

We are please with the apartment set up, we got the 2 bedroom apartment. Loved the kitchen, as it was a fully equipped one with pots and pans, cups, plates/bowls of varying sizes, utensils, etc - couldn't ask for more. We had a pleasant time cooking 2 huge meals and enjoying them at the dining table and in front of the tv.

Beds were ok, I can't tell a good bed from a bad one. As long as it keeps me sleeping at night, I'm contented. There wasn't any problems with the toilets although the toilets wasn't spectacular, but who sleeps in the toilets any way?

We rented a car, and absolutely loved the secure parking and the stairwell that had direct access to the car from under our block. The guy at the counter was extremely helpful and friendly during check-in and check-out.

Remember to do your own trash and wash your own dishes. Trash was just below our stairwell so it was about than 50 steps from our door.

Only downside was the cable channels, it was on AUSTAR but the apartment's subscription only had a few channels accessible.

If you're on a budget trip, this is highly recommended!
