Hi
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my 9 day stay at your resort.
As I am 75 and was staying on my own I found your resort very secure and safe at all times which I appreciated.

Everything was close and convenient and the unit very clean. Would recommend your resort at any time.

Many thanks I look forward to a return visit.

Location, location, location in a quiet street at less than a king's ransom, a short walk from Star Conference Centre and a shorter walk to the beach than those in the pricey hotel suites. No bouncers at the door. Undercover secured parking
Would have been good to include UHT Milk sachets/small cartons to go with the coffee & tea supplies provided

Thanks for your honest review, also we offer

I’ve been to the Gold Coast many times and stayed in many different types of accomodations. This one has been my favourite so far. Clean spacious and well equipped rooms, close to everything (especially the beach) and the friendliest staff. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in future.

My sister and I have just spent a very enjoyable week at Aruba Surf in Broadbeach.
Tess and Ben could not have been more helpful and added greatly to our very positive experience.
Gardens are beautifully maintained, units are clean and comfortable and the location is excellent...so close to Pacific Fair and the Transport centre.
Our 2 bdrm unit contained 2 separate bathrooms, 2 balconies, a washing machine and dryer, a full kitchen and a kitchenette and 2 tvs.
We got 1 days free wifi and the option to purchase more, but it was easier to use the free wifi at Pacific Fair.
Although there is no lift, Ben was very happy to take down my suitcase for me...thank you Ben.
Highly recommend this resort.

Maureen Perwick, Auckland NZ Reviewed: 02 Aug 2016

Dear Tess and Ben, recently we stayed at your resort after our accommodation at another resort fell through due to a lack of amenities.
The friendly guidance and help offered by you both was outstanding. The boutique apartments were well finished and of a reasonable size with a well-furnished kitchen and a good sized fridge and a normal oven, as well as a micro wave. The outlook from your apartments was very good and located in a quiet street.
Location to the casino, pacific fair and oasis shopping centres, and Broadbeach itself was spot on. We appreciated your help with all our booking arrangements and also the courteous help in fixing some previous bookings. We would thoroughly recommend this facility for anybody looking for a reasonably priced holiday in an absolutely prime location.
Also the heated pool and spa were gorgeous.
Thanking you both for enabling us to have a wonderful, carefree stay at your resort in late June / July 2016.

Many, many thanks.

My husband and myself spent 5 nights at Aruba and would definately go back again. So relaxing after having a busy day out to be able to sit on the balcony and relax looking at the beautiful gardens. We had a 1 bdrm apartment which was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Afterhours check in was a breeze. Aruba is so central to the beach, shops public transport (if needed) all within easy walking distance. I was also impressed with the friendly atmosphere at Aruba. Our hosts were so very pleasant and more than willing to help with any enquiries we made. I would definately recommend Aruba Surf Resort to anyone wanting good and very clean accomodation with a very safe and friendly atomosphere Thank you for a pleasant and memorable holiday Stuart and Denise.

Thanking you.

All the ladies enjoyed every part of our time away. Your resort is a very comfortable and relaxed place to stay. The ladies loved relaxing beside the pool.

We stayed here over the Anzac Day weekend, lovely place. Perfectly located near to all the restaurants, Metricon Stadium bus picks up just up the road, great bus service to the heart of Surfers. Lovely clean rooms, pool and BBQ area. Amazing quiet for so close to the action. We will be back

Vicki Greenwood , Bribie Island Reviewed: 29 Apr 2014

I found the accommodation to be very clean and comfortable. It was also within easy walking distance of the beach and the main Broadbeach shopping area.
I like the fact that the ground floor entrance can only be accessed by a key thereby giving extra security.
I look forward to my next stay.

Had an awesome stay. The units were basic, but very clean and tidy, and central to everywhere (walked to Surfers (it was a bit of a hike tho lol), 5 mins walk to Pac Fair, 2 mins walk to about 50 eating places, 2 mins walk to Coles Supermarket and Niecon Plaza, buses right past the door, beach at the end of the street - what more could you want! Had a breakdown with the washing machine, and it was replaced by the next morning with a brand new one. Our hosts Denise and Stuart were fantastic. We will be back - and will make sure all our friends know what a good place it is as well! Thanks again. Mark and Debbie White, Matamata NZ.

What an amazing stay we had here.Not too much or too modern. Just right. It is comfortable not sterile. Rooms great. Lots of little extras to make this a home away from home. Outdoor bbq area and pool superb. Kitchen and bathroom/laundry spacious and well equipped. Close to local shops and tourist-y highlights. Then as if this is not enough...the owners/managers are delightful with great sense of humour and so obliging. Definitely hoping to make a return visit. Thank you so much. Highly recommend this gem to all.
