Golden Sands on the Beach - Absolute Beachfront Apartments

無敵海景非常棒

First the good. Simply the best view / location on the Gold Coast. If you want to literally roll out of bed and onto the sand and into the surf then this is to he place to be. Its close to all types of eateries and Tedder Ave is just a short walk away and its just far enough out of Surfers to be away from the hustle and bustle. The staff seemed ok although we didn't have a lot to do with them and the pool / gym / bbq and gardens all looked clean and well kept. The bathroom and toilet are pretty modern and clen but water pressure in the shower was not great - I think there was a water saving device fitted so maybe that's why and fair enough. Not So Good Our unit (1201) was pretty old and tired and could do with some love and a good revamp. The thing that got me though was after arriving after all day in the car the until was hot and stuffy so I turned the A/c on only to find it caked in a black mould like substance. There was also this same substance on most of the window blinds and the curtain rails in bed 2, I can totally understand the battering this complex takes from 24/7 surf / salt air / wind and sun so I can overlook and bit of water marks and rust issues but mould is a no no. I can also understand the huge demand for the unit and that it may not be possible for housekeeping to do a deep clean for each new guest but this A/c looked like it had not had a clean for months and that's not good. Maybe the first of every month an extra hour or so is taken to do the deep clean to ensure the whole unit is in tip top condition but it really needs to be looked at or reviews like this will grow. In the end we just chose not to use the A/c and just used the breeze from open doors and windows to provide relief from the summer heat - I'm only glad that the weather was not too hot. The phots I've attached don't really show the mould issues in the A/c with the main issues being behind the grills although it does give an idea.. Would I sat here again - maybe but I would want to go up to the unit and have a look before formally checking in

Best location on the coast! Amazing view and right on the beach, could almost dip your toes in the water from the bedroom and lounge. Excellent location,we will be staying here again.
