Golden Riviera Absolute Beachfront Resort

Great location. Difficult accessibility to get to ground floor room (2 x sets of stairs). Good room layout. Only lounge/ kitchen has air con, not bedrooms. Split-system unit filter was filthy and the unit mouldy. I had checked in after hours, so some to recurrent about this and the mouldy vertical blinds in both bedrooms the next morning. Air Con was cleaned on return to my room. The ensuite shower and drain in main bedroom was filthy. The floors in bathroom, ensuite and kitchen eye sticky. The fridge door shelving was broken. Dirty jug, dirty kitchen saucepans etc. Drawers in kitchen and bathrooms need a clean. Lots of dirty marks on walls. Reception were friendly and asked storage of luggage for those who needed that on checkout. The hot water was great, the bed was comfortable with good linen. No room service, you need to carry you rubbish down to basement on checkout. Only daytime hours for reception. Great location with good security, needing to use fob to access hallways, capital and gate to pool and garden area from street. That's what you're paying for, not for a clean room. Room 13 - avoid it!

The location was ideal for being near the beach and being able to run and walk along the foreshore footpath. The view from our apartment was magnificient. The swimming pool was good in terms of being able to swim. A few minor items need fixing in the apartment.

Not a very clean room. The fan and the oven racks were filthy. The two balconies have never been swept or mopped. There was a cupboard full of left over belongings from other guests. The location was perfect for my stay at John Flynn Hospital but the stairs were a huge negative.

Great beach and grocery shopping location.
