We loved our stay at the Rocks resort, very relaxing space, amazing 180 view of the ocean, we've never had such an epic view! Super friendly staff, very helpful and welcoming. Apartment was very clean, had everything we needed and the facilities were great at the resort. Clean pool, sauna and spotless BBQs!! Big thank you to The Rocks Resort team!

Great location with local bus service effectively right at the door. A car is a necessity for exploration further afield. We enjoyed a 180 degree view from unit 7D directly opposite the beach overlooking the Pacific and watching whales and dolphins regularly. And the long as well wide sandy beach was often enjoyed during long walks. The unit was furnished and fitted out with all necessities and more. Although it was a bit cool to swim in the outdoor pool for us, the facilities with it including spa and plunge pool and lovely outdoor garden area were great. The gym and tennis court are an added bonus.

Go for the view
I have been going here for a very long time and always love it. You do need a car to get around though as the nearest shopping centre is too far to walk. There are local buses though. Gets s bit cold at night in winter so bring a heater. Most units don’t have air conditioning so can get quite hot in winter. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else though. Pool area is always immaculate with beautiful gardens. I’ve already booked my next trip back to Currumbin.

Fantastic Views and easy access to coffee shops and cafes. Management of the resort are very friendly and professional making us welcome from day one. No air conditioning which was inconvenient on those occasions when there was no breeze. That would be the only issue though as its a great place to relax on the Gold Coast.

Big Ocean Views backed by Aussie Bush & Rainforest
I love the Rocks Resort Currumbin! It's in an idyllic location, with the Australian bush and wildlife at your back balcony and the most incredible ocean views from the front! And a beautiful pool and gardens right across the road from the beach. Apartments are very spacious and well equipped and all have awesome views. The resorts common areas: reception, bbq's, tennis court, pool, games room, always immaculate. Staff reasonably friendly and helpful and there's secure underground parking.

The service was excellent and the position of the resort is its best feature. However the unit I stayed in was certainly not 4 star. Paint on some walls was peeling, there were many scuff marks on many of the walls; there were weeds growing through the tiles on the balcony; decor was very ordinary ... brown carpet and bedspread in the main bedroom; cushions in living area were clean but very old in appearance; most kitchen appliances were obviously rather dated ... rust evident on most and knobs etc were worn; one toilet had hygiene seal but when a visitor had to use it, she reported that it had obviously not been flushed after its last use. Very disappointing because on other occasions, the units I have stayed in have been of the quality I would expect for the price I was paying and for a resort that is described as a luxury resort. Also, the reception desk was not manned on the Saturday afternoon I arrived and so I had to wait until the next day to receive assistance with the TV reception ... not what I would expect for such a busy period.

We loved our suite 2i , it was beach themed with a lot of love. It felt so comfortable. The kids loved the cubby room. The balcony was a good size to relax on. Staff were so understanding and moved us from our first suite which was very high up in the building and very dated. My advice would be to view your room before booking they are all so different. The distance from the beach and coffee shops is priceless. A gorgeous break for a very tired little family . X o x

Winter Blues
It might be great in summer however winter leaves me cold. The Foxtel was apparently broken and management were off handed and unhelpful on many levels. The free to air channels were restricted due to poor reception. The apartment allocated was lacking any heating and was quite cold after the sun was down. From front reception to cleaning staff we found stern faces.

Great hotel with outstanding ocean views
My wife and I simply wanted to stay in a place that had a ocean view, a pool, was clean and wasn't to expensive. The Rocks hit the mark of each of these and we enjoyed our stay. In the week leading up to our arrival, I had emailed the resort and asked for a room on one of the higher levels that had 100% ocean views and the always smiling Jazmine in reception made sure that happened. The room was big, modern and clean and the views were simply outstanding. The resort also takes great pride in their pool and spa and both were exceptionally clean and inviting throughout the week. We also made use of the free BBQ's which are a great idea. Within a minutes walk from the resort, there were various coffee and breakfast options as well as the local surf life saving club which is located 'on the beach' and offers tasty food, cold beer and at 1970's prices. The beach itself across from the resort is patrolled in patches and ok for swimming but fantastic for surfing which I did each morning The resort itself is a 'little older' in some areas but honestly I wouldn't change a thing as these few factors only add to the charm of the place. For pure value for money, the Rocks Resort was outstanding and will be at the top of our list the next time my wife and I holiday on the Gold Coast.

Nice position opposite the beach
We stayed here for 3 days mainly because older relations of ours have stayed often, but we found it somewhat disappointing. The venue is past its prime and the 1970's fittings, the leaky washing machine, leaky toilet, light bulb that needed replacing and the basic high mileage double bed, were reminders that there is work to be done at The Rocks. There are better options.

Hi There, The Rocks Resort was built in the late 80's so it is over 30 years old and each apartment is owned and decorated individually to its own and are all completely different. We had offered to fix the toilet and washing machine as soon as you reported the problems and you refused to have them fixed until you had left, the bed in that apartment was just replaced 6 months ago. Its a shame you didn't enjoy all the beautiful things the Rocks Resort has to offer as it is the only beach front high rise accommodation on Currumbin Beach.

Good value and great views
Whenever travelling, you have to expect the unexpected. We expected clean and comfortable accommodation with a great view and we got it. An absolutely pristine location looking out over the white sand beach towards the sunrise. Pools and spas are clean and well presented. But - The Rocks is not a Resort! One towel per guest per week? No servicing of rooms. No restaurants or other catering on site. Need a towel for the beach or pool?, then make sure you bring it from home or buy one from management for $25. Nothing that you can't cope with, but it would be better to know in advance. Our stay was in July so the lack of air-con was not a problem. The suite was noisy at times with constant sound of the surf and frequent flights overhead. Friday night seemed especially busy for flights and with a changed flight path which banked directly above us. We enjoyed our stay at The Rocks and would be happy to endorse it for others, but suggest that you approach the accommodation as "apartment style, self catering" rather than a full service resort. Happy holidays! IanB.

Hi there, Currumbin beach is a beautiful location with great views! The Rocks Resort is a fully self-contained holiday resort that provides first night or one night usage supplies. Utilising the self-contained apartment, the expectation is for the guest the next day to shop, replenish supplies, stock the refrigerator and utilise the cooking and cleaning equipment fitted in the apartment. With an 8 night every apartment is entitled to fresh linen replacement and service. This message is noted for guests on arrival
