Unit 10A family of four, two adults, two teenagers, 5 nights. A beautiful stay! The view was gorgeous from both balconies! The apartment spacious and the facilities (2x pools/tennis court/ sauna / spa were perfect after a long day exploring. Check in was warm and welcoming and the secure car parking great. Some items in the apartment were looking old like the curtains, but didn’t impact the stay. Furnishings were lovely and beachy and the beds comfortable. Living area and main bedroom has aircon, all spaces have ceiling fans. Washer and drier was useful for the longer stay. Would absolutely stay again. Accessibility: the unit is not wheelchair accessible, but isn’t advertised as such. The shower both have larger lips to step over as do the balcony doors. The two pools and spa have handrails into them which was a great support.
After reading some of the the reviews I was somewhat concerned. I had read a review mentioning a particular unit and how dreadful it was but I can’t find it again. Very strange! Anyway we arrived only to find we were in that very same unit!😬. We unlocked the door with trepidation only to be pleasantly surprised. The unit is spacious and had a lovely view overlooking the bay. It had everything we needed and it was wonderful to be able to do all our washing ( 4 weeks worth) before flying home to the UK. Just a short walk to the tram. We were here when they were setting up for the Gold Coast 500 but even that didn’t seem to make things busier. it’s a little dated and some of the furnishings are really worn out but that didn’t impact on our stay and also I wouldn’t furnish out a rented property in the very best decor because it will get damaged. All in all very good value for money and we loved the apartment living. We’ve always been hotel people but this experience has made us think again.
Very Good

These apartments are a good size and the one we stayed in had a well equiped kitchen. The pool/BBQ area is new and well kept, and the communal areas are really smart and well tended. Access to Tedder Ave is good, the view is impeded now with a large block opposite, and there was some construction noise. Road is busy, and at the weekend everyone with a noisy vehicle parades up and down until about 3am. The issue we had was with the management, and on the basis of this I wouldn't stay again, and have rated according to how the whole experience made me feel. I contacted them a month out to discuss bed arrangements, as there was flexibility in how these were made up. The manager advised that we would not be able to do this with an ******* booking, though the ******* site clearly gives the option or 2 double and 2 single OR 1 double and 4 single. The manager was negative about ******* bookings and asked me to cancel and book direct. He sent a text asking for AU$650 extra to put us in what he advised was a superior apartment on a higher floor, and advised we were currently booked for level 2, though on the phone he said it was level 3. I advised we hadn’t the budget for this and wouldn’t be cancelling the ******* booking as this gave us cancellation protection, a strong incentive for our booking. The day before travel he contacted me to ask about bed arrangements as if he had never spoken to me before. He was happy at this time to accomodate the requested bed layout, and said he would be putting us in the better apartment on a higher floor that had been previously mentioned (though he didn’t relate to the previous conversation). He didn’t ask for additional money at this time for this supposed better apartment. He was aware that I was arriving alone. When I arrived he immediately shut reception and said he was going to show me what we had booked, and what we could have. He took me to a 2nd floor apartment which was truly awful, and then up to a 13th floor apartment which was significantly better. He then asked for extra money to put us on the 13th floor. I felt so under pressure, and had so been dreading arriving on my own, I was concerned at this point that he would simply refuse our booking or put us on the level 2 unit. He then said “surely it’s worth an additional $100?” I agreed to pay this just to put a stop to this harassment; he isn’t exactly the friendliest person, which felt more intimidating. After the stay, which was absolutely fine though I felt on edge everytime I saw the owner, I found I had not received any ******* points. ******* stated that my booking had been cancelled, even though I could demonstrate that I stayed at the property and had paid them according to the ******* booking arrangements. The manager had cancelled this booking, even though in our first conversation I had specifically told him that I wouldn’t be cancelling the ******* booking and did not want him to do so. To make matters worse, I have been
Excellent service, food. The pool was great, too. Excellent breakfast buffet. The seafood buffet was overpriced compared to the food options they had, but otherwise a very comfortable and happy stay in the hotel.
One of group who recently travelled to Gold coast went fantastic and would like to thank you for pushing in order getting 100% visa done before departure.... Would like to share group experience about Boatshed Bar & Grill at Sea World Resort....before Australia Tourism get into providing marketing space to such product few important points to be well placed Location - Great Ambience - Good Approach to the venue - Good Food - Good in taste. Supervisor to the event - Ms. Kate @ Useless & hopeless GM - Sanjay Bhatia a man good for nothing...handling such a product but giving an excuse shortage of kitchen manpower and not flexible to change in menu provided 2-3 days time...don't have guts to take call at night 0930 PM & till date he didn't call back...so, in short he is a hopeless & useless fellow. How to Spoil a venue one should learn from Sanjay Bhatia... Music - We got DJ booked for 3 hours but volume got lowered 8 PM onwards, to which DJ guy was helpless as control was from back office...so, 100% waste of money Smoking - Its an open area but non smoking zone....so, no point in having a Gala night with drinks at this venue..security personnel don't allow smoking....Beverage premium brand stock not available despite giving 2-3 days time...there staff was running pillar to post to arrange premium brand but helpless. The Boatshed Bar & Grill is part of Sea World Resort so, guest at resort r given priority to there comfort so, venue is not recommended for such Gala Event....there intend to get the event over by 9 PM.... The Boatshed Bar & Grill, Gold Coast is totally waste of money..& sorry for Aneesha Chopra she is marketing a wrong product to Indian clients as her profile get effected... Please suggest venue at Gold Coast as we have multiple groups lined up where such type of Gala Event be pitched....

Loved this hotel
Got an upgraded room which had amazing views from the 53 floor
Kitchen is well equipped, pools are lovely and location is close to glink so you can leave the car in the parka Fe
We also used lime bikes to cruise over to main beach and beyond
The picture does not match the reality, the picture looks like the hotel is very high, is able to see the sea or the city, but in fact the highest only 7 floors.
The most important thing is that at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, was called up by the fire alarm, panicked and ran downstairs, and finally the hotel checked and found that there was no problem, the hotel did not have any compensation, not even an apology! Worst without one.
