The property is not on the beach, as stated on the booking site. Unfortunately the apartment needs quite a bit of renovating/repair. Chipped paint on skirtting boards, doors with patches that haven't been painted to match the door colouring, broken blinds. Outside furniture broken and worn. Bedroom sliding doors broken and not sliding. Minimal kitchen ware ie, 1 wine glass, 4 mixed cheap older mugs, 2 dinner plates only and 3 bowls.. Bathroom towel rail had a broken attachment to the wall so hanging at an angle and unfortunately there was a bad smell on entering and very dirty shelves and hanging racks in the wardrobe. I washed a folded blanket in the bedroom before using it as it had stains on it.... The bed mattress definitely needs replacing. Laundry tap had a slow, continual drip... I mentioned the dirt and smell to check in staff and they were very obliging and had the cleaner come and do a proper dust and wipe over. The staff were great. The room was a special, last minute booking but it wasn't what was advertised unfortunately.

Has great views, it’s a tad loud in the apartment due to the city life below. A few of the appliances such as the kitchen faucet was loose/wobbly, the shower head and bath tap would leak unless set perfectly to the middle. The shower also hasn’t the biggest shower screen so the water would spray everywhere due to high pressure. However the bathtub was the perfect depth and made for a relaxing bath. We loved the beds but would have preferred if the pillows weren’t as flat.., having heating/cooling access in the room was ideal due to it being winter and would be ideal for summer as well. The apartment is in an awesome location - short walks to cafes, service stations and the tram line. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful to watch coming over the river/sea on the balcony on the comfortable outside seating. Kitchen utensils were great and in abundance, laundry was amazing and we loved having our own private parking. The staff of Ipanema were very swift, kind & helpful upon check in and it was a simple key drop off upon check out. We would stay here again ☀️

Location is very good with easy access to trams and walking distance to the beach. The room was pretty clean aside from the floor. The floor was very dusty to the point I vaccumed the room myself with the vaccum provided. I found the pool and spa to be very clean as someone who works in aquatics - no scums lines or dirt build up at the bottom. The check in we found was a bit difficult as the staffed hours of the reception arent very long and the after hours check in wasnt the most straight forward. The road next to the accomodation at times could be pretty loud, but as expected for a busy road. For price point happy with the quality of the accomodation.

The location was fabulous, close to the beach, close to the tram line, easy access to the centre of Surfers Paradise and restaurants.
The downside was the parking issue, for example cars in incorrect spaces. Information from reception was very poor regarding iregarding the complex eg amenities and linen as the reception was unattended for our entire 7 day stay. However we would recommend the Ipanema and also stay again.

Housekeeping and maintenance need drastic improvement!

The bathroom was in poor condition—mouldy, outdated, covered in soap scum, and showing rust in several areas. Cleanliness was also a major issue; we found hair on the kitchen bench, the cooker, and in the bathroom upon arrival. Furthermore, the blanket had permanent stains, was completely worn out, and shed fluff everywhere, making it entirely unusable. Overall, the property feels neglected and is in serious need of a deep clean and proper renovation.

Management needs to thoroughly inspect the property after each housekeeping session, particularly the bathroom and kitchen. Doing so will help them truly understand the lack of care and attention currently being given by the cleaning staff. Thank you.

Upon first entering the room. Lights in the entranceway would flicker multiple times before turning on to reveal a dim light. Showerhead wouldn’t sit straight would keep turning to one direction. e.g face the wall on its own or the shower door. Dishes were dirty as I assume they are cleaned by the previous tenants without the hotel checking if they were clean or not. TV came with movies but it would be extremely laggy, majority of the times the screen going black or an error code of “video stopped” live TV worked fine. Images of the room we payed for were different and more luxurious than what we actually got so be aware. But the room itself is fine it has the basic essentials you need, towels, dishwashing liquids, laundry liquid, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner (small bottles). View from the 13th floor was beautiful overlooking the city and the nearby river. Access to shared pool, spa, and sauna which was good. And a gym. Overall 6.5-7/10

Terrible customer service here.
We stayed for an entire weekend, flew to gold coast, a special 50th trip.

Reception cant be contacted at all. Had to ask expedia to help me sort issues out. Which expedia tried. Still no help from Ipanema.
Ipanema Holiday Resort refused to even speak to me about the lack of service, lack of tea coffee basics, lack of towels to use facilities and when its a rainy weekend, you are leftto buy your own, or wash n dry theirs.
This is not a resort..more like backpacker service.. dont stay here.
Worst customer service ever and ive been travelling for 30yrs.

The receptionist was incredibly friendly and very lovely.

The room was superficially clean but unseen areas were very dusty and dirty. There was a room next door to mine with an outer door that kept being unlocked. The room next door to mine therefore was able to access my room with their key. I’m pretty sure this happened as my passport was moved and bent. Very unsafe. I was unaware that there were pets allowed and also that some rooms had permanent residents in them.

It was ideally located next to the beach and tram line, but I did not feel safe there. I had to put a chair under the door handle while I was asleep.

There were stains on the carpet when we first arrived aswell as sauce on the balcony wall. The amenities like the frying pan where broken aswell as a lack of a flipper for the pan.2 large ladels where provided but they were not useful when it came to things like eggs and pan cakes.
There was also no vent in the bathroom and if you are staying for multiple days it risks mould growing so we had to open the balcony and bathroom door in hopes of avoiding that.
The bed was made nicely and the room smelt ok.Staff where helpful when it came to providing toilet paper and bin bags

The apartment size and location was ideal however there was never any staff around at the front desk, nor would they answer any calls or call back. The beds and pillows were horrible in the family 1 bedroom apartment, that I slept on the couch after the first night. We woke up with sore necks and backs everyday. Carpet was dirty so I vacuumed when we arrived due to so much hair on the carpets it was disgusting.

No AC, no alternative.

Free parking and convenient location. The positivity stops there. I spent 4 nights here and upon arrival noticed the air conditioner didnt work. I asked reception and they said somebody would come look at it. Nobody came until late on the next day and did nothing. I received an email to say a new air conditioner would be installed on the final night of my stay. I was never offered to move rooms and was essentially made to \"deal\" with no air conditioning on a week of 30 degree days and 90+ % humidity. Will not be returning.

There was a lot of dust in our room upon checkin.

Check-in was hard to get instructions for; thankfully my plane was delayed and our instructions were eventually sent to us after a friendly reminder.

The photos we booked for were not the sight we got given upon payment

The location was very convenient for walking distance to public transport and walking distance for attraction sites close by

I stayed for 4 nights with my two school-aged boys. The room was absolutely phenomenal, even more beautiful than expected! Just a short stroll to the beach which is perfect & just 2 minutes walk to trams & buses. The pools were very clean & the spa was sooooo nice & relaxing! Also the best sauna I've come across! The only suggestion would be a little playground or kids club for the tiny humans, & a cafe` or bar for the grown ups! Thanks you Ipanema Holiday Resort, we missed you the moment we said goodbye! See you again xoxo

this was a really good place to stay, the only thing i would give feedback on was the rooms smelt like cleaning products but it made it smell like an old persons smell, like an old musty motel. That was the difference from getting 5 stars, other than that it was great

Close to tram and beach. Small but functional. Would prefer shower separate to bath but not a big issue. Good value for money for 2 of us

I stayed in a one bedroom studio for two weeks. The stove was dirty. The heater on the blink (it got fixed on my third last night - thanks very much) and I got barely any assistance from the office staff. I called well before my holiday seeking a quiet room and was assured this would happen. But on arrival, I was given a room facing the main road. It was noisy al day and all night.
I liked the area but if I ever return, I will chose a nicer place.

The place is a 7. The room was not clean enough, the balcony was full of water even when was not raining the day before, no towel at arrival time, the kitchen and the utilities were not clean enough meaning the housekeeping was not done before our arriving.
The best part is the balcony and the big shower.

Clean, tidy and modern apartment. Good facilities. Great location being close to eateries, canals and obviously the coast 5-10 mins walk, max. I walked to N.Burleigh along the beach from there.

The advertised photos were old and did not show the damage to the unit- sealant around the bath/shower, no power setting on range, burnt black frying pan, broken tap in laundry, microwave sitting on bench, Dryer tripping out due to dirty filter, Fridge ice box full of ice, floor tiles taped together in bathroom, laminate mixing from kitchen cupboard. The bed was very comfortable thankfully :-)

The unit we stayed in was amazing. The bed was so comfortable. Even tho it is on the Gold Coast Highway, it was quiet. Kitchen facilities were awesome. Plenty of room for the 2 of us and still had room when the kids and grandkids came to visit for the day. Nice and close to the tram station so you don’t need to get the car out all the time. Will definitely stay here again.

Nice place close to the beach. The pool is huge, they have a nice Sauna and I recom is a fair price. Could improve in maintenance and cleaning.

Nice apartment but not enough towels for a 2 night stay, only 1 room key which is not ideal if trying to use facilities. One lift out of order whole stay and then the other broke down on day of departure, receptionist didn’t care and we had to carry luggage down 6 floors. Thanks to the tradies who helped my wife down the last two floors

The location was perfect. 1 block from the beach and the tram stop is close by. Shopping and restaurants are within 4 min either direction by tram or walkable. The room was clean and kitchen had everything I needed to cook and eat in the room. I enjoyed the spa, pool and sauna after long walks. The gym has basics. The grounds were well maintained and has a grill and nice sitting area. I had a little trouble checking in as the directions went to my junk mail but the property manager, who is lovely, was able to help. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at!

The apartment is in need of some TLC as it is quite run down. The bathroom in particular was in pretty poor condition and definitely needs updating. It was quite noisy from the upstairs apartment. Having said that, it had everything we needed and was in a good location.

I didn’t like the idea of having to wash the cutlery, plates eg as I had a really bad chipped and cracked mug it showed me that the cutlery eg was not taken away to be washed in a dish washer or sanitized.
