I was very happy staying here. The location is just wonderful with many restaurants to choose from. There are two big shopping centres not far away. Gail and Alan were cheerful managers who did all they could to make my stay as pleasant as possible. I could use the buses right outside the resort and didn't have to use my... More

We spent four nights Aruba Beach Resort and the first criticism was being on the third (top) floor and having to lug suitcases up four flights, one from the basement as well, as there is no lift. As we were on an extended holiday around Australia these suitcases were rather heavy! The apartment itself was fine, although on our booking... More

Thank you, Rene, for your review. Aruba Beach Resort is advertised as a three-storey walk-up and as part of the personal service we provide I am always willing to assist with carrying luggage to apartments. More

In town for a conference, we spent 3 comfortable, convenient nights at the Aruba Beach Resort. Well located near shopping, restaurants and the Gold Coast Convention Centre these self contained apartments had everything we needed. They don't have beach front location, but are a quick two minute walk to the sand. Welcoming hosts Gail and Alan went above and beyond... More

I enjoyed staying at this resort more so than any hotel I've ever stayed at. The managers are incredible, and bend over backwards to help with any request. I've never been to the Gold Coast before this but I will definitely be back thanks to this wonderful property. Amazing location, very close to Broadbeach shops, and tourist attractions. A hidden...

Great place to stay simply for the great location in the heart of Broadbeach shopping centre which was the main reason I chose it. Great rates for a lovely clean well maintained complex, the managers obviously take great pride in keeping up the standards and it shows. Friendly environment, nice pool and spa and off street parking made this everything... More

Here are the facts- 1. Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. 2. We never promise check-outs later than 12:00 prior to departure day as it depends entirely on bookings. 3. We offered the reviewer a later check-out at 12:00 (no charge) but there would be a small fee if they stayed beyond this. 4. We managed the cleaning staff so his... More
