Our second visit as we love the apartment block and the location plus parking on site. On the beach and views were great. Sits between SUrfers and Broadbeach so no noise from busy Surfers but 10-15 mins walk either direction and you have everything you need.

Excellent beachfront Gold Coast apartment

Staying at the Dorchester on the Beach was an excellent choice for our three night family getaway. The location was amazing - looking straight out across the ocean we could see and hear the ocean from both balconies. Three roomy bedrooms and three toilets and bathrooms were most appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed and more and the laundry was clean with a new front loading washer and dryer.
Even though the reception was rarely open, the after hours check in was seamless and efficient.
We would definitely stay here again for the right price.

We couldn't have been happier with our place. It had a very well appointed kitchen and the furniture was very comfortable to take in the most amazing view. The building is right on the beach and just a short walk to the eateries in Surfers Paradise. Would definately recommend.

This was my first visit to Surfers Paradise. Was searching for a hotel for my solo travel. Ocean views of the apartments helped me to make my decision quick. Booked 3 bedroom 4 star ocean view apartment.
When I arrive my check in was very easy and pleasant. Karen gave me lot's of necessary information about the area and the apartment. My apartment was exactly what I was expecting. Stunning view, spotless clean, spacious rooms, laundry and a fully equiped kitchen with amazing view.
Ocean view is breath-taking and walk to beach in no time. Outdoor swimming pool is heated so you enjoy the warm pool when there is wind outside. Easy beach walk to grocery store and restaurants in max 10mn.
If you are looking for safe and family oriented stay, Dorchester on the Beach is %100 what you searching for.
Karen and Michael is super friendly.They made my solo holiday so great and made me feel like I am at home. At the end, I didn't want to come back and I extended my stay for 1 extra day :)

I did have a chance to see most of the different apartments. They are all stunning and especially 4.5 stars are very luxuries. I will advise this apartments everyone now and in the future and I am looking forward to come back for another retreat in this heavenly place.

I can't even thank enough to Karen & Michael being extremely warm and welcoming to me. Absolutely fantastic.

See you soon my dear new friends !

Paid extra for a renovated room and didn’t get one

The staff were extremely rude and aggressive to the Expedia customer service person who called them to try and resolve a query.
I paid $30 per night extra for a renovated room but did not receive this.

Nice hotel, overlooking the beach

Beautiful stay in a lovely apartment. Very clean. Michael and Karen at the reception desk extremely friendly and helpful. Go the extra mile to be welcoming. Couldn't ask for a nicer experience. Lovely pool and private beach access.
A great experience, will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic sea view from apartment. Ample choice on in-house movies. Sufficient supply of heated water which is very important during cool season. Perfect stay for family of 7.

Spacious nice apartment

We enjoyed staying at this spacious apartment, everything was provided for.

The parking space however was very tide, you can not open both car doors once inside the spot, my wife and kids had to get out of our standard car first. you also require a lot of monouvring to get out the space due to many poles within the car park. Thank goodness for parking cameras.

Amazing hotel right on the beach

We stayed in the penthouse which had three floors with a massive outdoor area with a large table. The top level had an amazing view of the beach.

Great location, space & staff.

Amazing location, good partial view of the beach & ocean from a corner apartment. There are apartments with these views in full for larger groups, however our view was still great. Nice neutral deco, living, dining room & kitchen were lovely. Bedrooms & bathrooms were dated & in need of rennovating, but no big deal. Lovely pool with gates that open directly onto the beach. Pool hours were only to 7pm which given the warm evenings were a bit limiting. Staff went above & beyond, which was much appreciated. Reasonable price & quiet privacy.

Very large apartment, well equipped kitchen.

Loved having a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment right on the beach. Huge kitchen, very well equipped. Full sized fridge. Could have stayed here for weeks. Not as new as some but very comfortable and having all that room certainly made our stay great. Pool also very nice and could not as for a better location.

Beautiful apartments, friendly staff.

Our spacious three bedroom apartment was ready two hours before official check in time and we were granted immediate access. The managers were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. Air conditioning in the main area and two of the three bedrooms. Three couples comfortably shared the living space. Easy access to buses and easy walk to caville ave. Beautiful beach views and direct access onto beach from the pool gate. Great outdoor eating area for large group.
Hotel managers were easily contactable and when we requested luggage storage for our day following check out we were granted access to the room until we needed to go to the airport in order to store our things - overall a great experience and will happily recommend!

`Good place to stay

rooms were great and clean, need a little maintenance here and there for the price your paying, but overall would stay again. managers were lovely, and helpful. had nearly everything you'd have in the cupboard at home. Shops a good 10 min walk away, so pain if you have loads of young kids like us. Surf club 150 m up road but be sure to book if you want to eat there. 4.5 out 5..

Nice Apartments, great staff, direct beach access!

Friendly, helpful and professional staff, they keep you well informed. We loved the location so close to our favored Clubs, Surfers Paradise center where all the action is, but you feel secluded and comfortable back in the apartment
to have 180 degree view of the beach all the way to Coolangatta. Cheers Karl

Pure luxury.

Loved staying at the Dorchestor. We stayed in a three bedroom refurbished apartment. Most beautiful motel we have ever stayed in. So lovely laying there listening to the Ocean. Top marks too to the Managers Michael and Karen Cross. They are the most genuine people you can ever meet. Nothing was ever too much for them.

Right on the beach

Right on the beach & within easy walking distance to local amenities. Local store for groceries if you want to eat in & a surf club just down the road if you want a good value for money feed.
