Tv did not work, followed instructions and it wouldn’t work. Toilet kept running after flushing, had to press down on toilet button to stop it flushing. Great bed. Never had to take out my own rubbish at end of stay. Great location. One lift worked. Noisy construction (not hotels fault).

Spacious apartment with beautiful sea views

Beautiful views, excellent location, light and airy, very spacious apartment with comfy bed. Where it fell below expectation was the dated decor, cleanliness - clumps of dust and a pill on the floor beside the bed, the hairdryer is ancient (best bring your own) and not enough towels provided.

PRICEY AND UNCOMFORTABLE!! so heres me thinking I'm going to spoil my mrs with a romantic kid free night away. Everything was going to plan arrived checked in the hotel is amazing absolutely breath taking.I walk her in our room my wife is in love with it all. We quickly get changed and go down to the spa. The spa is to die for so good.We get back up to our room to find a cockroach on our bed. Bedore i could take a photo it ran under the bed. I tried to chase it and when i looked under the bed omg theres dust that thick its nearly touching the bottom of the bed.So naturally my wife is now disgusted that theres cockroaches going to be crawling all over her and me while we are sleeping.The dining chairs are flaking that bad when you pull them out to sit on all the material is stuck to your hands to the point you need to wash them but your unable to use the chairs unless you enjoy having all that stuck to your hands. The shower definitely waant the best either water goes everywhere.My wifes already uncomfortable over the cockroaches and unable to rest properly and theres this massive rock hard bar right in the middle of the bed. My wife and i love to snuggle into one another this couldnt happen unless we were sunk in a massive hole on one side of the bed with my wife still on the bar.After a long uncomfortable sleepless night we check out and informed the staff who replied with "thankyou see you again" I replied "no you wont" Dont waste your money here theres better and cheaper

My family and I had an amazing time. Our room was perfect with a lovely view of the beach. Soft beds and clean bathrooms. Great kitchen and utensils. We loved the gym and outdoor spa and pool. We stayed across the road from Pacific Fair which was very convenient. We would certainly come back. Thank you for the memories.

This property was not reflective of the advertised photos. In fact, as a far as I can tell, there was only one photo from the apartment used. The apartment was in a poor state with a decent amount of maintenance required. Stains on carpets, chipped walls, dirty toaster/appliances. Can only assume the high rating is for the location, which was ideal. The management of the building didn’t want to hear from us and am still waiting for …”the manager will give you a call when they are in”. We were on the 11th floor and they are building a new apartment building directly in front of Ultra. When we booked we were assured we would have an apartment on floors 20-30. This was a blatant lie. Any view less than 20 floors won’t have a direct view to the beach when the current construction is completed.

Stayed for 3 nights. Was not advised upon check-in that renovations to the unit directly above us was happening. Woken at 7am the next morning to jackhammers directly above us - vibrating through our unit. Went on for hours. Called reception to ask how long it would continue for and ask why we weren't advised. (We were attending a wedding later that day and wanted a good rest the night before because we knew we would be having a late night). Reception advised they would credit us that night. Confirmed this with them at checkout. Days later called to enquire about refund only to be told they did not say that and that they wouldn't be putting it through - liars.

Fantastic location but construction in front.

Reception hours close at 3pm, so we had After Hours Checkin. Worked well. Bedroom carpet dirty. Sliding door on master wardrobe was stuck on 2 screws so wasnt able to slide over. Needs a few tweeks. Bedside table fell apart due to salt erosion which happens in an oceanfront apt. Ocean and city views amazing. Apartments 1 & 2 will have construction crane in front over the next few months. Undercover parking under building so convenient. Welcome Package was such a nice touch. Building is very modern. Pool and gym facilities are great. Easy walking distance to beach, Pacific Fair, tram station, broadbeach itself with unlimited dining options, Oasis Shopping Centre. I would definitely be back. Just ask for apartment on right side of building. Reception staff friendly and professional. Very safe to walk back from dinner in Broadbeach at night. Expect wear & tear, but overall fabulous size. Beds very comfortable too.

A great location and the amenities were awesome. Loved the pool and spa. Easily walkable to Oasis and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre. Only downside would be it’s really noisy at the moment with construction of a new apartment building next door. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Ultra Broadbeach.
