Only stayed 2 nights. There were 3 adults. Enjoyed our stay, very comfy, quite, great location (for us).
Apartment was larger than expected, with a large patio, and a balcony off the main bedroom.
Excellent value.

Comfortable 2-bedroom apartment in good location.
My wife and I enjoyed a 1-week stay in a 2-bedroom Bayview Bay apartment. Location is quiet but handy to the Gold Coast. Facilities are reasonable although a little dated.
With 4 young children, this was an ideal location for everywhere we needed to go... theme parks, beaches and great local shops. No elevator for those in need but a very comfortable private apartment that supplied all our household needs. Fantastic pool and spa facility too.
the hotel is nothing like the website description. it is very run down, showing its age. the room we had requires a complete restoration to 2017 levels, not 1970's.
the apartment did not appear to have been painted since construction.
sliding door to terrace required 2 people to open/close, due to sagging doors;we would not use the kitchen stove and cooktop because of their dirty state.the toilet brush holders in both bathrooms were rusty;the shower handle was loose from the wall,making it unsafe;all the vertical blinds had broken / missing plastic cords;
not much crokery / cutlery;
etc. etc.
Pros:
- great location
- nice size rooms
- Lovely bbq area
Cons
- Spa temperature too cold (set at 29'C not 35'C as promised in brochure)
- 1 key per room? Seriously - how are 2 adults and kids supposed to cope with that?
- Pathetic outdoor furniture - Chairs cant be sat on - an accident waiting to happen
Easy check in and out, even though we arrived late. The unit had a great layout and heaps of space.
There were definitely not enough blankets/doonas and we had to resort to using the bathroom towels when we started freezing.

Good area, close to broadwater, close to shops
Served our needs, close to family and friends, close to the function we had to go to. Had shops close, know the area well. Hotel very old and in need of clean up, room very old out dated, needs a refurb. Car car a little tricky to get in and out of.
Located at nice bayview area. The apartment was relatively big at low price. Everything was well equipped so our family had a really good time there. My children enjoyed swimming at the pool everyday. Strongly recommended hitel!

Small low-rise in good location
15 minute drive to Surfers Paradise and also to theme parks (Movie World, Wet'n'Wild) Harbour Town outlet centre about 5 minute drive. Other shopping centre (supermarket etc) and restaurants 5 minute drive. Walking distance to several cafes. We had a two bedroom apartment which was huge with modern facilities. Nice clean outdoor barbecue area next to pool. Under enthusiastic new management who provide excellent customer service and are trying to lift the overall standard.

Our stay was not under great circumstances, but the accommodation was in perfect location to help family who lived near by.
Nice place. Only concern was it was bit away from the city center. So plan accordingly.

Apartment was close to everything I needed at the time - the sports complex, Harbour Town, shops, the bay.
Very friendly and helpful manager made staying a breeze.
We chose this apartment because web site claimed it was serviced but no - only if we stayed 10 days at which time we would get clean sheets.. Stove was greasy, filthy and contained food scraps.but was cleaned after we complained. There was a generous supply of cooking utensils but not as clean as we would have liked so avoided using them. As senior seniors we were barely able to manage the 3 flights of stairs (48 steps) to our compartment - no air conditioning in stairwell made it even more of a battle.

Disliked: Room comfort
Room was in grear location but needed air conditioning as the summer was very warm.
Overall the apartment was okay but there were things wrong. The balcony security doors did not work properly, the drawers had a bottom that wasnt attached, there was a used razor in bathroom and the stove top did not work properly.
Nice location (quiet) and cleanliness okay. We arrived on New Years Day and no staff until 04.01.2016 but check in was not that hard.
Only complaint is confusion re actual time of reception availability. Arrival at 2:30pm Saturday was in "closure" time and procedure to access the key was complex.
Cleanliness was very disappointing, apartment was in need of repair and new blinds to the main bedroom. The pool was green and not heated as advertised. I have stayed here before and the apartment was top quality, I will stay again in a hope the quality has returned.
Loved it and would stay again. Beautiful private location

Lovely apartment...well worth the price we paid!!
Lovely apartment...well worth the price we paid!...close to the beach and other facilities. The reception staff were excellent...but the Pool Cleaner could have been more co-operative....don't expect a smile or a long conversation with him...i'd give him a 1 out of 5
The facilities were excellent. We literally went to the supermarket and saved a load of money. Dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, spa bath, comfy bed, massive tv. We couldn't have asked for more.
Facilities: Home away from home; Value: Great deal; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Spotless;
The apartment was clean and quite and the facilities suited my daughter as well as my elderly mother. It was great fro shopping at Harbour Town.
Facilities: Nice ; Value: Great deal;
Would stay again!

It was advertised 1 bottle of wine per night. When questioned we were advised that it was per stay? Same thing I think. Still no wine!

Loved the daily free feeding of the pelicans at the Fish Shop 30 minutes walk down the road.
Facilities: Good; Value: Acceptable price; Service: Friendly; Cleanliness: Pleasant;
It should be a fenced off along the walk way by the boats, you have the pool area fenced off as required so why not by the canal
