Golden Sands on the Beach - Absolute Beachfront Apartments

Unbeatble scenery 15-20min walk to surfer paradise Washing machine does not clear the washing powder completely Only shampoo and conditioner but no shower gel which should be provided in a 4-star hotel I don’t expect that a 4-star hotel cannot accept AE card for bond The hotel room door is too old and too low in quality for a 4-star hotel. Cannot watch quite few channels in the TV set. Overall a satisfactory experience.

Fabulous clean and modern apartment with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and ocean. Fully equipped kitchen and air conditioning throughout the apartment. Close to great cafes, restaurants and shops.

View (lvl 8) was amazing, just as advertised. Location was fantastic, close to Seaworld and on the beach. We even saw whales, and the lorrikeets liked to come vitit. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, felt recently updated. I do wish there were doonas rather than just blankets. There were no tea towels or dishcloths so we couldn't clean up after ourselves - maybe an oversight by cleaners. Pool and spa were well maintained.

What a great place, we stayed for a long weekend! The apartment was so spacious and had everything we needed, the location is perfect for the beach its right at the back of the complex. The shops, cafes are just down the road, so central to everything. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning views from our apartment, I recommend level 5! Apartment was very clean and had all the appliances we needed for our family holiday. I love that there’s plenty of cafes walking distance and we could jump on the tram to get into surfers. The reception team were lovely and the pool was never crowded, added bonus! Will definitely be back!

Not how it looks online. Not very secure and severely overlooked. Paid $465 per night (you read that right) for what I thought would be accomodation reflecting the price. Pictures show website vs. reality. Apartment I got is severely overlooked, right in front of busy path, no privacy. Dated kitchen. The ONLY thing this place has going for it is location. I was expecting more for the price. I don’t want 100s people looking in my windows as they wander past. Because it has access from the ground level, I was not comfortable sleeping with any windows open to get benefit of ocean breeze. Furniture was fine - thankfully no funky carpet like I have seen on other reviews. I would not stay here again for the price.

First the good. Simply the best view / location on the Gold Coast. If you want to literally roll out of bed and onto the sand and into the surf then this is to he place to be. Its close to all types of eateries and Tedder Ave is just a short walk away and its just far enough out of Surfers to be away from the hustle and bustle. The staff seemed ok although we didn't have a lot to do with them and the pool / gym / bbq and gardens all looked clean and well kept. The bathroom and toilet are pretty modern and clen but water pressure in the shower was not great - I think there was a water saving device fitted so maybe that's why and fair enough. Not So Good Our unit (1201) was pretty old and tired and could do with some love and a good revamp. The thing that got me though was after arriving after all day in the car the until was hot and stuffy so I turned the A/c on only to find it caked in a black mould like substance. There was also this same substance on most of the window blinds and the curtain rails in bed 2, I can totally understand the battering this complex takes from 24/7 surf / salt air / wind and sun so I can overlook and bit of water marks and rust issues but mould is a no no. I can also understand the huge demand for the unit and that it may not be possible for housekeeping to do a deep clean for each new guest but this A/c looked like it had not had a clean for months and that's not good. Maybe the first of every month an extra hour or so is taken to do the deep clean to ensure the whole unit is in tip top condition but it really needs to be looked at or reviews like this will grow. In the end we just chose not to use the A/c and just used the breeze from open doors and windows to provide relief from the summer heat - I'm only glad that the weather was not too hot. The phots I've attached don't really show the mould issues in the A/c with the main issues being behind the grills although it does give an idea.. Would I sat here again - maybe but I would want to go up to the unit and have a look before formally checking in

Friendly, great view, quieter area , access to shops and cafes
