A rundown apartment with toilet location very average. Room above too noisy hearing footsteps. with the occupants moving about. Its disturbing at night hearing footsteps thinking someone has broken into my unit when trying to sleep at night. And last but not least out the back outdoor area, having to put up with food smells from kitchen cooking from buildings nearby. I won't be staying at the Aruba again as for the price its average to put up with those conditions. Regards, Greg Burgess.

The staff were lovely and the location was close to everything, but I think thats all I can really say was positive about it. Firstly, despite being told that check in times were from 2-5, the office only opened till 12 on the day I arrived. Additionally, the internet in my unit didn’t actually work and I had to use the internet from another unit which was spotty at best. The cleanliness is something that has definitely ensured I don’t return. The day I arrived you could very much tell the floors had not been mopped or even vacuumed, there was hair in the washing machine, mould in the toilet and a dead cockroach on the kitchen floor. Cleaners also only come once a week and although I was told to take everything off the floor each time, the floors were definitely never cleaned. They would make my bed, leave a singular roll of toilet paper, soap bar and tea towel, replace my shower and hand towel and that appeared to be it. Not exactly what is expected of cleaners in my opinion. I don’t actually know if my sheets were changed as I was there a month and developed a rash. Finally, I noticed a broken fire alarm that appeared to be taped to the ceiling, the fan switch in the bedroom was completely broken, the water made my laundry smell like poo and a bunch of (assumingly teenagers) had a few parties on the third floor during my stay. As much as this place is ‘cheap’ for the location - for the concern of my own health and wellbeing I would not stay here.

Kellie on reception was very friendly and helpful, as well as patient with me when I kept entering the wrong pin number for debit card. My husband & I had a comfortable 8 night stay. Our apartment was quiet & private at the back of the building with a large verandah. Everything worked well and aircon was brilliant. Shower water pressure was great with good temperature. Pool & Spa area are well maintained. Our apartment was serviced half way through our stay which was much appreciated. This location can't be beaten! Everything required is within a short walk. NOTE TO OWNER OF APARTMENT 2. Something needs to be done to cover up the unsightly brown stains on the side of the washing machine beside the toilet, or replace with new machine. We freaked out when we first saw it, then on closer inspection my husband said it looks like rust coming from washing machine. The apartment is nice and has a lot going for it, so it is such a shame about the appearance of the washing machine.

Older style low rise apartments. Spotlessly clean, good WIFI, streaming channels, aircon, washer & dryer, full kitchen, hot shower and comfy bed. Excellent location. Very quiet, coffee shop across the road, beach, walking path, park and playground at end of the road. Oasis shopping centre & Woolies less than 5 minute walk and easy walk to Pacific Fair and Broadbeach restaurants. Highly recommend
