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

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 accommodation was close to where we needed to be. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The air conditioner was located in the lounge, not the bedroom. It took awhile to cool the bedroom down.

I booked a superior room with a balcony. I got a ground floor room with a view of a run down house. The back yard of the resort that my room looked out on to had weeds at least 4-5 ft high ( higher than the balcony) The unit was old, iron did not work, curtains did not cover the bedroom window or the lounge sliding door. The security door was broken and did not work. would never book here again and recommend no one else does.
