Room was perfect and as described so I do recommend. Great location and price. Communication was a problem at the start with the property manager as they did not receive my messages via Expedia app to request early check in. Also the room was not ready at 2pm so they offered a late check out. Other than that, we were really happy and would stay again.

Close to everything. Good apartment for a family stay. The hotel was nice but overall the facilities are a bit tired and the pool/spa area needs a makeover. Apartment was well equipped and generally clean. Beds were super comfy and an awesome view of the ocean. Didn’t appreciate the cockroaches on the 46th floor.

Property was amazing!! Gold Coast luxury resorts management team was poorly organised, check in and check out was very inconvenient, room wasn’t ready on arrival had to wait longer & wasn’t notified when it was ready as they promised, we had to chase them up. only had one key available which we had to personally return to their office which was half an hour away from where we were staying. we will be booking direct with the property next time. very disappointing given we are here once a month.

Great property and really clean room. The only downside was as it is privately managed we couldn’t go to reception staff at the hotel for help with things - also was not enough toilet paper in the room for our stay so we had to go and buy more.

I stayed here before and was completely satisfied, but this time I was very disappointed. The carpet in the master bedroom was damp, and the bathroom exhaust fan was not working. I stayed for three nights, yet only one day’s supply of shampoo and body wash was provided. Because the exhaust fan didn’t work, the entire room smelled damp. The kitchen range hood was broken, the dryer handle was nearly falling off, and both balconies had lots of spider webs. The kitchen bin still had trash left from the previous guest and was not emptied. Overall, this stay was really disappointing.

Would never stay with GCLR again. Had many issues right from the get go. Duplicate payments for the accomodation from my credit card which I had to prove. Cleanliness of the room was very poor. Toilet in disgusting state and the tiles were not mopped. This was never fully resolved after going into there office and complaining and baking several phone calls. Very dissapointed in the overall experience with this third party company.

We paid top dollar to stay in this apartment however the cleanliness really let it down. We had to clean the floor tiles upon arrival as they’d been mopped with a greasy substance that wouldn’t dry. The white mats used to clean the floor ended up brown. We found hairs when turning bed down, WIFI didn’t work and dryer stopped a number of times. Location is fantastic but not worth the $$$.

This property was dusty and the floor was dirty and had not been thoroughly cleaned. The apartment was advertised as a three bedroom (and paid as a three bedroom) but the third bedroom had no window andooo there was no space to walk around the side of the bed. There were wires sticking out of a socket presenting a safety risk. This was a very disappointing experience.

I expected so much from this beautiful building but unfortunately it’s just waste of money. Aircon was not working in the lifts, no screen was working on the lifts and no aircon throughout the building. There is no morning buffet available at the hotel. This is one of the most expensive stay in Gold Coast but I would rate only 1 star

It would have been appreciated if the room had the air conditioning on, when we arrived for the first time, floors were slippery and apartment was stuffy with the humidity. It was really uncomfortable and dangerous walking in. Leaking tap, and not lockable door in second bathroom. For a three bedroom apartment and only to have 1 drying rack for clothes was unacceptable, we had to buy another 2 and leave them there. Will think twice before renting privately again.
