Location is excellent. In the middle of surfers paradise, right by the tram, beach, supermarket and main attractions. Staff was friendly and the property communicated quickly. Got an early check in and late check out so more bang for the buck. It isn't 5 star by any means but the location makes up for it. Only downside was the noise. Hard to get sleep with the loud air conn (seriously loud compressor and fans), the noise from the clubs and buskers could also be heard all the way from the 25th floor.

Spectacular sunsets

It has spectacular sunrises and sunsets with a view of cavil av it's right in the centre I guess that's why it's the Paradise center apartments .I was pleased with an upgrade and think it's a reasonable rate considering it's location and use of the study as a second bedroom

The room had a strong mould smell, which was quite overwhelming. The shower was unclean, with visible body residue and mould in the grout and corners, and it also appeared to be leaking through the wall into the carpet, which likely contributed to the persistent mouldy odour. There were also rust spots in the bath, about the size of a 10-cent piece, where my children were expected to bathe. Unfortunately, the issue extended to the cupboards and kitchen utensils, which also carried a noticeable mould odour. Overall, the environment felt unhygienic and made me uncomfortable having my children in the room. Very disappointing experience.

Fantastic stay with great views.

Great stay. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious, although maybe a little dated, but not an issue at all. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed to cook and the bathroom clean with good pressure and hot water. The view from the apartment was also fantastic! My only issue would be minimal coffee and tea in the room as it was not replenished throughout the stay, and also the need to pay for extra pool towels. Would recommend and would stay again.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding our recent booking at Paradise Centre Apartments. The booking explicitly included three double-bedroom oceanview apartments. However, upon arrival, your reception staff refused to provide the oceanview rooms as booked, stating that such listings are not offered by your property and that the advertisement on Wotif was inaccurate or potentially fraudulent. Given the circumstances, we request a full refund of the total amount paid for this booking. We expect this matter to be treated with urgency and resolved promptly. If a satisfactory resolution is not provided, we will have no option but to escalate this matter further through consumer protection authorities and pursue a formal dispute. In addition, during our stay the toilet exhaust cover fell on head and in another apartment the blind fell off I have sent an email to Wotif already

Life in paradise

For a single person or a couple, the room I stayed in was the perfect size. Lovely views of the beach, Cavill Avenue (great for watching how 'alive' the area is) and part of the hinterland. Blockout curtains allowed me the luxury of a sleep in without the early morning sun waking me up. The outdoor heated pool and spa were fantastic, even with winter fast approaching. Every second day I'd go for a dip. Such easy access to the shops and public transport as well. Price wise, it was surprisingly cheaper than a lot of other places. The only gripe I had (and it's a petty one at that) is that the tiles and grout in the wet areas need a good scrub. All other areas were carpeted, and it still had that new carpet smell, so no problems there.

Great location. Only had two issues, one being there was building works going on throughout day on last few days with Jack hammering etc (appeared to be floor above us, very noisy). We were not informed about the planned works/noise prior to booking or whilst our stay. Mowing pool areas at 7am was not appreciated either i would think after 10am would be more appropriate. Other than that the apartment was amazing. A little tip would be to supply a bit more essential supplies as well. Staying for seven nights there were not enough toilet paper, garbage bags etc with us having to shop for a lot of items. We gave a 5 star review but cleaning attention is needed under the bed (needs to be moved out and floor vaccumed and wall cleaned). Cheers Col

Reception is conveniently opened until 10pm and the girls on the desk are lovely. Parking is a breeze. The carpark is easy to navigate even in a large SUV. The location is 2nd to none. It is right on top of the Paradise Centre Mall and looks straight down into Cavill Ave and Orchid Ave and over Surfers Paradise Beach, right amongst all the action. The huge outdoor pool is properly heated and the adjacent hot tub was a real pleasure in July. The north facing sun filled balcony was beautiful. We stayed in the Ballah tower, apartment 18/02. Executive 2 bedroom. The building was built in an era of generous room sizes. It was very clean and modern. The kitchen was well equipped. All the appliances were like new. Even the knives were super sharp. There were clean blankets in the wardrobe. We weren’t lacking anything. After staying here, I simply cannot stay anywhere else now on the Gold Coast. For the planners like me, see my attached pics for floor plans from real estate sales. 4 apartments per floor. There are no bad apartments in these towers.

The photos shown were not a true indication of the apartment we were given. The kitchen cupboards were swollen, the crockery still had food on it, the stove top and fridge had marks from previous people. The floor in the kitchen and bathroom were wet all the time from the unit belows air-conditioning. Even the carpet was wet around the kitchen. Accor advise for us to have our air-conditioning set at 24 degrees and keep all the doors tightly closed. This is not a solution. We prefer no aircon and the doors open for the sea beeze and fresh air. We went to reception to get towels to cover wet floors, then we rotated the towels on the airer so we could walk in the kitchen. The apartment looks over the night clubs and restaurants, so the noise is constant all day and night and into the morning. Only a top sheet on the bed. When we asked for a throw rug, we had to go down out of our building to collect the blanket. The glass doors still had prints and smudges all over them, and food on the balcony. We will not return or recommend.
