I enjoyed my Easter stay here.

PLUS POINTS
The apartment was in the northern quiet end of Surfers Paradise but just 4 blocks away from the centre, a pleasant 8 minute walk. Apartment was in good condition, high up on the 18th floor with great views of the beach and plenty of light and morning sun. It was well set-up with a second flat-screen TV and sound system in the bedroom. Loved throwing open the bedroom door to the balcony and listening to the roar of the surf when going to sleep. Pool is heated and in a large tropical garden. Plenty of room to move and full-length glass in living room and bedroom to take in the north-east view. Just a short walk to patrolled surf beach with high-class dining available with Marriott Hotel, Sun City and Q T Hotel all close by. Found a great value hot breakfast deal for just $5.00 at "The Shore", close by on The Esplanade.

MINUS POINTS
Not many - While generally clean, more attention required to clean stove-top and oven, glasses and fridge interior. Air-conditioner unit leaked condensation onto living room floor. Although reported to reception these minor issues were not rectified at all during my five night stay. Guess it was because it was busy and fully booked over Easter break

For the money we paid we could of got alot nicer somewhere else, Lift broke the day we got there and the other lift only went to level 17 so we had to walk up 9 flights of stairs with 2 small children to get to our apartment. Someone parked in our carpark so we had to park in the street, we confronted the person who parked in it and he told us that his uncle ownes our unit so we would have to be allocated another spot, only to be allocated a spot that was too low for our car to fit in. ( mind you, if you park in someone elses spot you will be towed at a cost of $330) The automatic gate out of the underground carpark was broken so someone had to walk upstairs and let you out the in gate. As a whole this place has terrible management, rude staff and very very tired apartments, save your money and book somewhere nicer.

We stayed at the Golden Gate for 7 nights. It was just ok. Like the other reviewer, we could definitely have booked somewhere better, and did during the second week of our stay. The apartment was spacious, and clean - if you didn't look to closely! Having said that, the location was great, just a short walk to the shops and I beach. Would I stay there again? No, I'd definitely look elsewhere.

We felt that we could have got better value for our money elsewhere.
The are definitely problems with these apartments.,
like $25 fee if the users of the apartments do not clean up properly.
and the $250 tow away fee if you accidentally park in someone else's car park.
Reception is only open between 9-12am on Saturday and you have to call them to arrange pick up of keys outside those hours.

On the plus side the apartments are really well located and the rooms are spacious and the views of the beach are awesome.
You can't beat the views of the sun rising out of the ocean.
