Double bed was very hard & when we complained they could not do anything to help. Very poor customer service from reception.

The apartment complex was very nice and in a great location. The apartment itself was average to be fair. It needs maintenance and thorough cleaning, one of the couches was not usable and the wifi didn’t work in any of the bedrooms and barely worked in the lounge by modern standards.

4/10

The property is perfect located and has all the amenities required. Near to everything. Unfortunately, the apartment was really outdated with very unconfutable beds and poor bed configuration. It was lacking maintenance and cleanness. The apartment was not fully airconditioned. The whole S6 apartment needs to be updated and a good throughout cleaning.

Property was absolutely disgusting. Stains on white bed sheets, air conditioner unable to be used as it hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time. Fans and walls in bedrooms were covered in thick dust. All cooking utensils were dirty. Food left in freezer. Nice unit, however needs a very good clean.

2/10

The property is very dirty and does not have the lift without notice so you have to carry all heavy luggages and as the property is located on top, very hot so not easy to sleep. Not recommend it at all. The manager is not easy to communicate and not interested in guests circumstance.

4/10

Booked 2 apartments, only was 1 made available to us. When questioned the blamed Expedia. Their communication was very blunt on all matters. The 1 apartment that we did manage to get was dirty, the microwave did not work and the wifi was patchy at best. When we spoke to the manager or other staff about the issues they told us there was nothing that could be done except to email them with the issues. Would not stay there again.

- we were not informed that the apartment had limited aircon. Loungeroom aircon and main bedroom aircons could not be used at the same time. Two of the three bedrooms do not have aircon, with 3 children this was a nightmare with the heat and humidity - there were dead and live cockroaches, a cockroach egg sack in one of the single beds (photo proof) - the tiled surfaced in the kitchen area was greasy and slippery - dishes plates cups knives etc were not cleaned properly (we had to wash before use, some had excessive dust and hair on them, some were also wet) - the ensuite toilet had faecal remains in it - the floor in the toilet of main bathroom was sticky, so disgusting - the main bathroom shower was not clean and has mould (photo proof) - the fridge was not cold on arrival - no blackout blinds in the living area to early reduce the morning light/heat - surfaces were not cleaned properly or regularly. Food and water residue on dining table legs. Dust build up on bar chair legs, bedside tables and carpet - carpets not vacuumed properly. Infant crawler found multiple items to put in his mouth - fly screens doors are not secure. Unable to be locked and the screen itself was loose/holes etc. not safe for children - Apartment 23 is NOT a 4 star apartment! - the booking was made for 4 adults and 3 children; only the main bedroom had a double bed; the other bedrooms were made up as 4 singles. What 4 star rated resort would expect adults to sleep in single beds (unless requested)

We stayed for 5 nights & the apartment was well appointed with everything we needed. It was spacious, airy & a relaxing atmosphere. I enjoyed morning swims at the nearest of the 3 pools. The temp was comfortably cool to do some short laps. The bed was a little firm but ok. Having an overhead fan really helped during the humid nights. We enjoy SBS TV series so needed the wifi connection which worked most of the time. The apartment was 2 bedroom averaging about $200p night so basically value for money. The key system was frustrating at times being required for the lift & entering/exiting the parking garage. made the mistake of trying to enter the central building & not the northern one as it was night & the entrances look similar. Some signage on the garage & the main apartment doors might help avoid this. we were not the 1st to end up trying to "break into" the wrong area. If you go to the top deck of your apartment you get some sea views. All in all it was a relaxing time& peaceful location to take a break. Sonia & Rob were friendly & helpful managers.

This property’s aircon was not working in the bedroom and the ceiling fan wasn’t working properly either. Conditions were stifling. The unit had not been cleaned very well with a thick layer of dust on the tv unit in the bedroom and the floor! The TV screen in the bedroom was damaged. There was a loaf of mouldy bread in the pantry. The frying pans looked disgusting as was the cupboard where they were stored. The office was closed on the public holiday so we had to endure the stifling conditions in the bedroom or sleep on the couches in the lounge. We reported everything to the front office on the Sat morning and received a call from the on-site manager. It was easy to tell he wasn’t happy. We were told the aircon was to be fixed that coming week. So they had rented the unit knowing the aircon wasn’t working. The manager attended the apartment while we were out. He cleaned the three pans and put a pedestal fan into the unit. This was so disappointing. The washing machine was absolutely filthy. We don’t go on holiday to start cleaning up after other people. There was no further communication with the manager either. No offer of compensation. The standards of Surfside on The Beach have slipped dramatically.
