Great location! 10 minute walk to restaurants and 15 minute walk to a nice little beach with a cafe and park. 15-20 minute drive to theme parks and surfers paradise. Kids loved the on-site pool and spa. Rooms were clean and tidy.

The apartment was spotless, kitchen was huge and had everything we needed. Free secure parking under the building was appreciated, and Donna (the receptionist) was absolutely lovely. We used the pool and spa, but regret we didn't have enough time to use the bikes or kayaks that were also available. I would defintely stay here again and have already recommended it to my parents! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Self contained, and very relaxing, spa and pool clean, yet closed after 9pm. Not many villas so not a crowded place, great location close by to seaworld. Ommunication could improve as check in and out is limited times.

The property had and excellent pool room that both the kids and us parents hung out in quite a bit. Was very unique addition to what we were expecting so very well received by all. The one and only downfall in our unit was no air-conditioning in the bedrooms, a couple of nights were extremely hot, so we found it difficult to get a decent night sleep those nights.

Lovely resort.
Golden Shores is a beautiful accomodation. The facilities are clean and well kept. We stayed in room 16. The bathroom was clean and we had no issues with hot water or water pressure. Having a washer and dryer in the room was very handy. All utensils u need for cooking basic meals are provided. We were very happy with this accomodation and plan to return for another holiday in December 2020

Perfect for family with kids. They can play around with kids from other residents in the game room. The only thing is no lift, but it is still good. No air conditioner in the bedroom is definitely not a problem. Because it is along the sea and we still feeling cold at night without touching the air conditioner. Happy to come back.

Family friendly
This is one great gem with easy access to Gold Coast a quiet place with a kids playground across the road a good size swimming pool and spa bath access to pushbikes and paddle boards to use during the day. Underground security car park provides easy access to your unit via stairs. Each apartment is 2 bedrooms with a nice balcony to enjoy. Comforts of home with good size kitchen with all amenities, lounge dining room is a good size for a family. Bathroom has shower in the bath so not good for the older persons needing a walk in shower, laundry is part of bathroom so rather warm when clothes dryer is on. Staff are very friendly and most helpful with assisting in purchase of theme park tickets etc and for a friendly chat. Apartment block was very clean no signs of any rubbish or trees out of place a well maintained property

great location
It had all the facilities required for a family, only downfall was the smart card on the Foxtel machine keeps logging off when watching movies very disruptive, I did report to reception and they could not fix it. Exhaust fan in the toilet doesn't work, other than that everything was amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Great staff members very helpful. The beach has an amazing view, Australia fair shopping mall is 3 mins away, and the spa is very relaxing.

Great experience. Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and tidy apartments with everything you need provided. We really enjoyed the fact that it was a smaller apartment complex, so was not overcrowded and felt more intimate. Delighted with the free use of equipment and a well stocked games room. Highly recommend.

Convenient location
Very convenient to Theme Parks with great access to waterways. Close to shops. Relatively quiet location. Complimentary use of kayaks and bikes is excellent although a bike pump/properly maintained bike tyres would have been helpful. The extremely consevative supply of toilet paper (2 rolls for a two bedroom apartment for 8 days), coffee (4-5 sachets), dish washing (2 sachets) and laundry powder (2 sachets) was not conveyed either through the booking process or at the time of check in and came across as petty and mean spirited particularly considering the tarrif. Initial requests for more toilet paper were met with hostility but no explanation of the management policy.
