Our room was on the 7th floor, which had good views of the beach, however these views will be blocked when the 26 floor building on the other side of the road is completed, (this will be a while away, have only started the ground works). Our room double bedroom unit had multiple balcony's. The kitchen was remarkably well stocked for self catering, plenty of knifes, forks etc, bot the 2 or 3 sets you sometimes get. The single glazed unit was fairly quiet, but we did hear people above from time to time, this was probably because some of the floor coverings were a hard surface - tiles. There a an small convenience store a block way, the store was probably a little on the pricey side.

A good brisk walk of 20 mins to Broadbeach central. A bit far if not used to that.

A well priced property in a relatively quiet area. Just a five minute walk to the 'G' which allows cheap access to all of the main attractions on the Gold Coast. Two stops and you arrive at Pacific Fair and in the other direction only three stops to the centre of Surfers. The apartments are well appointed but need a bit of a face lift to bring them back to 5 star accommodation. Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.

Would have liked to have better feedback

Bad experience on check in due to reception being closed mid afternoon on Saturday. Had to disclose credit card details for our deposit over the ohone whilst standing at the entrance. Once in the room we saw a threatening notice listing the clean up rules that must be followed to ensure the security deposit would be refunded. Clearly the previous occupants didn't follow these rules because there was stale spilled milk in the fridge. After we reported it, the manager, who'd been on the premises as we arrived, came to clean up. Whilst he did remove the mess it didn't solve the smell so we ended up buying fridge wipe & cleaning up sponges to clean the entire fridge to try to make the fridge usable. Unfortunately the smell hung around for the entire stay which kind of spoiled things for us because it rained for the weekend.
Other disappointing feature was the lack of aircon in the bedroom which made for a sticky & uncomfortable stay.

Un-manned reception

Arrived at 2pm. Keys in safety box, reception closed for the day. Went to formalise check-in next morning at 10am, reception closed with sign stating back in 30 mins (from what time???). I did not wait around and we went out for the day. Went to check out at 8.50am after 2 night stay, reception closed. Rang after hours button and was advised reception should be open at 9am. We had already deposited room key in early check-out box, hence could not get our car out of underground garage. There was no instruction given at any time that you were meant to remove car first, then go to reception to deposit key in the early check-out box.

Sadly I did email requesting that the reason for the spontaneous trip to the Gold Coast was to take 2 kids 10 & 8 to Seaworld and for them to do 2 other things, swim and be on a balcony looking out to the ocean. To the point that if any of these 3 things couldn't happen we would have simply changed locations or dates till all 3 were achieved. The disappointment on their faces when we arrived to see the 'pool was closed' for maintenance and we were put on a room on the 3rd floor. Or as the 8 year old put it 'I've climbed higher on a tree!' was exceptionally disappointing, especially considering the effort I made in asking about such prior to arriving. When I let them know I was disappointed they did not communicate this to me they simply said 'we cant accomodate all requests and anyhow the website does say 'subject to availability'. So the customer service also was disappointing.

Entirely DIY place, maybe three star.

I saw a member of staff only once, the day I left after four nights there. This wasn't a problem as I really needed just a bed for the night and space to have a bought in meal.
The internet service had to be bought, unusual in these days of free internet pretty well everywhere.
The TV was OK but on two of the for occasions I watched it had to go through a re-tuning process at the beginning.
It wasn't that cheap, but for convenience to the Broadbeach Bowls Club it was great - just 400 metres away.

beachside getaway

The San Mateo was located near the beach which is great for walking. There is a bottle shop and convenience store around the corner which we found handy. The bowling club is very close and cheap for easy meals at night. Unfortunately the negatives were:The bed and pillow were very hard and made sleeping difficult. The lounge was very uncomfortable to sit on and so relaxing at night was made difficult. The white plastic kettle was black inside and around spout and so I would not use it. It should have been replaced ages ago. I boiled water in a saucepan on the stove instead. There was some chipped crockery also.
