This Apartment complex is in my opinion the best value on the GoldCoast. I rented it for my parents who were attending a golf championship. And would definitely recommend it to those who would loke a bit bigger soace than a hotel room offers. The ability to cook and have a lounge area to chill in.. Plenty of parking and great views

The Equinox is a very old high rise so if you’re looking for flashy bathrooms and kitchens, this place is not for you. BUT, if you’re looking for a comfortable bed to sleep in, a functional bathroom with a hot shower with full pressure, a basic kitchen with a full sized fridge, a big lounge room with smart tv and sofa bed, then this is the perfect place for you to stay in. Check in was easy and very friendly and informative. The Equinox has million dollar views of both the ocean and canals. We saw pods of dolphins and whales playing from the balcony. It is directly across from Main Beach so has easy access to the beach, it’s an 8 minute, easy stroll from the heart of Surfers Paradise, so perfect if you’re looking to go out on the town and not have to worry about driving home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Equinox and would definitely recommend staying there.

Property was largely occupied by elderly people who lived there. Not that this was an issue, but it did come as a bit of a surprise. I would not class it as a resort. Our apartment was only serviced (towels changed, beds made) once in our 10 day stay and apartment was a bit out dated. On a positive note the apartment was in a quiet area and located right in front of the beach with great view from the balcony. Front reception staff were friendly and helpful.
