Aruba Sands Resort

It's was Easy parking and so clean

It's a very good situation, and the managers are very friendly and attentive.

Best thing about this property is the location. It’s very rundown. Shower is shocking goes from cold to boiling hot every couple of mins. Not that clean lots of dust on skirting boards and lots on ornament on table. Just ok, I have frequented Aruba properties on the Gold Coast and this one is by far the worst.

Could do with on-site laundry and towels changed more frequently

Very strong smell of bleach on arrival. Lights out, and the unit was crawling with cockroaches and tiny bugs. Excessive pest spray was required to control same. Crockery and cutlery needed a good scrub as did cooking facilities. Unit needs to be totally refurbished. Very disappointing indeed.

The property is very clean, very convenient. Manager is an excellent communicator. Just need to be aware there is no lift and organise your luggage accordingly

great location lovely renovated appartment ..no expense spared

Very good

Liked the security. Disliked the stairs.

Was very disappointed with the unit. The unit was not clean by any means. The bath room had a bad offensive smell about it also kitchen sink not clean stove dirty and glasses and cup needed to be washed before they could be use.

If you want convenience to Broadbeach this is it. If you expect value for money for $250+ per night, cleanliness, comfort and privacy, then I suggest you look elsewhere. Many aspects of the room were not clean. The furniture was cheap and uncomfortable. The double bed was on rollers and would shift around on the smooth floor whenever you got in or out of bed. The sofa/couch was rock hard. Generally all the furniture was of poor quality. The room faced the street with a coffee shop opposite to our room. The curtains had to be drawn or patrons in the coffee shop and opposing car-park could view the bedroom and living area. The curtains had to be drawn with the lights on at anytime of the day for privacy. (Block out blinds or even wire screens on the windows would be of benefit!). I expected a basic, but comfortable room at a minimum. The staircase also smelt strongly of cigarette smoke.

Close to Convention Centre

Good value for money

Quite possibly the filthiest place I have ever stayed at. Old dishes were left in the dishwasher which had become mouldy. We only realised this on the last day but it explained the stench. Old dirty cutlery and rubbish had been left in cupboards. There was faeces smeared on the wall above the toilet. We advised the guy at the front desk of some of the cleanliness issues on the Saturday morning and he said it would be cleaned again that day but it never happened. It does not get worse than this. I wrote to management seeking a response but never got one so will leave this review for the public as a warning to stay away from this place. I expect a response from Management denying everything as they have with other negative reviews. STAY AWAY.

The toilet holder was broken off the wall and the charging switch in bathroom was unsafe. Cutlery wasn’t clean either.

Broken fixtures, no cleaning of the room, even though they texts us a time. Place needs painting.

It was easy to get there and close to where we needed to be. A but shabby in the unit. On the plus side, the shower was good, the bed reasonably comfortable and the area was quiet for the time we were there.

Good

Great for Blues on Broadbeach

I LOVE THIS PLACE
