Ac kept going automatically from 21 to 29. Bin had not been emptied. Could not get Wifi or any TV. TV was on the floor so would have been hard to see if it worked. Bed was on wheels and kept moving around. Rang the office at 6pm on the Friday in relation to TV & Wifi but she said we would have to wait until 10am the next day to get any assistance. I asked for another room but she said there were no rooms available. We eventually got offered another room at 12pm on Saturday.

Our airconditioning unit barely worked which resulted in us having to sleep with the balcony doors open, the room was not very clean, the shower temperature was highly sensitive and would go from cold to hot at random. We did not enjoy our stay. Good location though.

The location of the apartment is great for access to all of Broadbeach.
Be aware that reception is open limited hours. You need to check on the door because the hours were not the same as stated in the email I received.

The location was the only good thing for our stay. The facility is old and has only been updated in the furnishings. I could urinate a stronger flow than their shower and it took ages to regulate the heat of the water to a suitable temp. Very hard to converse with the staff who were of foreign nationalities to Australia.

We had a fantastic stay at Aruba Beach Resort during our visit to Broadbeach. The location truly can’t be beaten — just a 1-minute walk and you're right in the heart of all the shops, cafes, and the beautiful beach. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable.

While the resort is a little older, it’s well-maintained and has everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Our room was incredibly spacious, with a separate kitchenette that came in very handy, and a large walk-in wardrobe/storage area that really added to the sense of space. We also appreciated the lounge and TV area, which made it feel more like a home away from home.

Just a heads-up: there’s no lift/elevator, so if you have mobility concerns, it’s a good idea to request a ground-floor unit when booking.

Overall, Aruba Beach Resort is a great value, perfectly located, and a lovely base for a Broadbeach escape. We would definitely stay here again!

Just an apartment to stay in for 4 days. Recommended by two friends that also stayed there at the same time. Resort really needs to be modernised. Don't think we'd (all 3) would stay there again with so many bigger & newer locations. Fittings, Lighting & Power Points need updating badly. Lampshade cover disintegrating, Towel rail nearly off wall.

The best things about this place are that it is cheap and close to the beach and resturants. Other than that it isnt great. The room is tiny and doesn't look very clean. I had to squash a cockaroach on our first night there. The walls are thin so you can hear the people in rooms next door to you very easily. They only give a small amount of free wifi. The pool is kept quite clean and is nice though. There is pretty much no free parking around and they do not provide you with a parking space.

Great location, close to beach, shopping, casino and exhibition centre. Although it is a dated building, room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend this place for a short stay on the Gold Coast. Would have been happier with my stay if there were lifts to access my room.

The location is perfect - close to eating establishments, supermarket & public transport. Unfortunately I didn't know there was no lift. I have a disability that sometimes makes walking difficult. I didn't realise there's *3 Aruba hotels* so walked several blocks until I reached the right one. I was hobbling in pain by the time I arrived and was mortified there was no lift. I assume people with disabilities aren't welcome at Aruba hotels(!). I was in so much pain I comitted

The apartment was very dirt, you only needed to use the bath mat and it spoke for itself.

Blankets were disgusting and trying to ask for a clean blanket from manager Serena was impossible. She was awful and very argumentative. My husband purchased laundry liquid to clean a blanket.

We had an unpleasant stay and would not recommend this place to anyone.

Trying to retrieve our refund was and is still an ongoing saga. Serena and Wotif have contradicting stories.

Nit something you need when you have loved one on the hospital.

We had a one bedroom apartment booked through Expedia. The apartment was clean and roomy for what it was, with all the in-room conveniences you would need ie washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc. Crockery and cutlery clean. Our apartment was at the back, so the balcony looked onto the back brick walls of other apartment blocks, unfortunate, but someone has to have them. Location great for restaurants and supermarket and a block to the beach. Pool and spa lovely.

While the location is good, but can be noisy as near restaurants, the condition is OK and room is clean. My main concern was the double charging of room and having to chase them about this. They never called me back . They did email me eventually to confirm a refund will take 1-3 business days but now it has been over 3 days and i still do not have my refund. This is very annoying and should not happen and response is poor. If not resolved i will get my credit card provider to dispute.

The reception was terrible, something leaked from the waste pipe and it went all over my clean car. When I seen reception they didn't care and wouldn't pay to have it cleaned. The shower was either too hot or cold and the pressure was terrible. I won't be going back.

Location was the best part of my decision to stay at Aruba Beach. The car parking was dodgy and was “first in best dressed”. Not enough car parks for all units. The worst part was the stairs because 5 flights is too far to try to drag suitcase up and down to unit. Towels were only changed once in my 10 day stay. I understand that COVID 19 year has made it harder to find suitable accommodation but I will not be travelling or staying on Gold Coast until prices come back to a realistic level.

The only positive is the location.
Arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday but reception is only oped 5.5 days pw. Key is obtained from a safe using PIN said to be provided. No PIN advised on booking confirmation and it was only later revealed that number was advised by EMAIL (not SMS) to which I did not have immediate access to.
No lifts are provided resulting in having to drag heavy luggage up several flights of steep stairs.
Cleanliness could certainly be improved.
Unable to have any defects rectified promptly due to only 1 staff member being on duty (receptionist)
Would NOT stay here again.

Restless Place

The fire alarm was faulty, kept beeping for 2 days. They had to call the firefighters in to fix it. The batteries in the remote controller were off, needed to change. The place is super noisy on a Saturday night. The weekend reception stuff doesn't even speak proper English. I was treated like a liar. A place to avoid.

Only got one towel for a two person stay. I asked reception the morning after we arrived, but despite being promised an extra towel \"sometime that day\", it never arrived. This was a 6 night stay. Sliding doors to balcony very stiff to open and close. No fly screens on any windows or sliding doors. Mattress needed replacing years ago; it was incredibly uncomfortable. This place's only saving grace is being only 250 metres from the Convention Centre, which certainly made things easier during a long conference.

The resort is convenient and pool is perfect to hang with the family and refresh. Manager is friendly and welcoming. Our room was a bit run down. One chair was ripped but covered with a sheet. Could do with an update. But the property is well priced and perfect for a family or couple who don’t spend much time in their rooms.

The best thing about this hotel is the position. However we found the hotel disappointing. We were there for four days and had no housekeeping whatsoever, we were asked (signage) to clean and empty our rubbish bins and take our rubbish to an outside area which was difficult to get to and if you did not you would be charged, our shower had left over soap pieces in it and soap scum in the corner, our bed was very bouncy and you could feel something wooden along the middle.
