Restful and Relaxing
It is a beautiful complex right on the beach. The unit we had this time had a two and three seater full lounge which was very comfortable. The units are always clean and perfect for an overnight stay or short break. Next time I would like to get an oceanfront apartment to see the magnificent sunrise direct.

The confirmation letter the I was sent, had a very negative tone to it. It had lots of stuff about if you do the wrong thing we will charge you etc. almost assuming that’s what everyone is planning to do. Not sure if they have had a lot of people come and do the wrong thing, but it wasn’t very welcoming. Once we arrived however the place was great! Very clean, tidy and well maintained. Friendly checkin staff.

Disappointed.
I stayed at the Meridian Resort on 25FEB19. The Accommodation was booked through your Agency. The quoted price was $138.63 with no mention of currency denomination. One woud expect that this price to be quoted as AUD. However whilst checking my Credit Card Statement I noticed that the quoted price was effectively USD which now made the cost become $196.48 AUD . Again I state that no where in the listing or the confirmation was there any mention of the price for the accommodation being listed as USD. I find that this action to be nothing but deceitful and am totally disappointed with your actions.

Hi Max, Yes we are both disappointed and upset that you have experienced this. It should never happen when booking Australian accommodation on an australian website to be charged in USD. We are currently working with Expedia to resolve this issue. Again our apologies Meridian Beachside Apartments DO NOT have any control over the way OTA behave. Apologies.

Great property, beautiful location. However, a big negative was the uptight management and fear of additional charges. Management seemed to have additional charges for every little thing according to documentation provided, ie if we didn’t put our rubbish out, needing an additional roll of toilet paper, any nature of breakage regardless of how minor (glass/plate). Furthermore, despite clearly booking for five people we were told if our fifth wanted a bed, it would cost an additional $57! We lived in fear of inadvertently breaking a house ‘rule’, thereby having our credit card charged post-check out and having to fight for reimbursement through the bank. This detracted from our experience so unfortunately I couldn’t recommend the property.

We are glad you enjoyed our self contained apartments and our location right on the beach. Our self contained apartments have a welcome pack of essentials to start your vacation.You booked a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom gardenview apartment with a Queen and 2 x King Singles which sleeps 4 people, not 5. All the terms and conditions prior to your booking stated if extra bedding was required, extra charges would apply. Ask at MacDonalds for fries or a drink and I am sure they will also charge you extra, as will all businesses. We do offer a 3 bedroom ocean view apartment that sleeps 6 which would have been more suitable for your family. We do ask everyone to remove their garbage regularly as this can cause a health and pest hazard within the apartments for not only your family but the surrounding apartments. As with any accommodation, all breakages must be paid for, I believe that is standard procedure anywhere you travel. Thank you again for the opportunity to reply.

Two bedroom unit near the beach
I took my adult son away for the weekend for his birthday, which is why we had a two bedroom unit. This is the most comfortable unit I have experienced with an ensuite to the main bedroom, very comfortable beds, very comfortable lounge and plenty of room. The unit had laundry facilities, dishwasher, and everything necessary for a carefree stay. There is also a very generous outdoor area on the balcony & garage facility for the car. This would be perfect for one or two weeks holiday and I wished we were staying for a longer period. There is a pool and spa available for use and a short walk to the beach. I would certainly hope to come back and take advantage of the comforts of this Resort again.
