Paradise Point Vacations from $346

Very hard to book into. Thought it was apartments with a lobby, but turns out you are meant to book in online 48 hours before you arrive so they can give you a PIN number and instructions for key and where to go to collect it and then where to go to to park and where to go to to your actual building and room. It was pouring down and we were driving around in circles called them and finally ran upstairs in some ally and they were closed. It then took another hour of me standing outside on the phone to the ‘holiday paradise’ people to be able to give me the pin for the key that was outside their quarters. Soaked and cold into car payed for an hour in some random parking as nothing around we finally found the north tower and our parking space. There were no luggage trolleys at all so a few trips up and down from our floor had to be done. Amazing views in the apartment, the beds were comfy, lounge dining and kitchen were great. The wifi didn’t go, I phoned the holiday paradise they said leave off for a few minutes and it will reboot. I tried that and nothing a couple of times nothing. Tried it again day or 3 and finally it worked, that was quite disappointing. The bathroom is a health and safety risk, very unsafe, they need non stick mat and also the water goes beyond the drain and you end up mopping up with towels that you don’t get replaced and need to use the washing machine and dryer. The spa bath was good. The bathroom door didn’t shut properly at all-not good.

Lovely property, but no coffee maker, just a Nescafe and no pods. Couldn't buy them at the local store. Thats the only negative thing i have to say. LOVE the leather furniture! Large airy rooms.

A clean, tidy and well presented room with all the amenities, definite value for money.

The apartment was great: cleanliness, location, view, amenities, parking etc. But I would never stay there again and this is why. Outside the apartment, at the elevators and in the corridors, there was a terrible, foul odour, eminating from the rubbish shoot, for the entire stay. The odour even came in to the apartment if we went near the front door, so we had to stuff a mat and towels against the bottom of the door. To make matters worse, I reported this offensive and putrid stench to the Hilton staff (concierge and security manager) 3 times, and each time they played dumb and made out like they didn't know anything about it. Some days the stink seemed worse than the previous day. It turns out that residents and guests throughout the building, on multiple floors, in the elevators, the corridors, at the pool, were discussing the disgusting smell amongst themselves (and with me), with many others making complaints to the Hilton staff and some moving rooms to higher floors in a bid to get away from it. According to some guests who had stayed there previously, this is a common and well known issue with this building. And the Hilton staff plays dumb about it and does nothing about it, pretending that it's the first time they've heard the complaint every time. Great apartment, great everything. But I will never stay there again, nor recommend it to anyone else. There are plenty of other buildings in Surfers Paradise.
