What guests think

At Southern Cross Beachfront Holiday Apartments, travellers consistently praise the absolute beachfront location and wide ocean views, spacious apartments, and friendly, accommodating managers, while noting dated interiors in many units and some maintenance or construction-related issues.

Facilities such as the large heated pool, spa, sauna and gym are popular, though parts of the pool surrounds and some common areas appear worn or under refurbishment at times. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean to reports of dust, mould, musty smells and stained carpets in certain apartments. Renovated, air conditioned units tend to offer a better experience, and onsite parking is convenient. Expect comfort and space, with quality depending on the specific apartment.

The unit was superb. Excellent view of the beach as well as the hinterland. The manager made dining recommendations which we took and thoroughly enjoyed. The pool was heated which was great since the weather was ordinary on the first day.

This property is under new management and they are doing an amazing job. They are lovely to deal with, very friendly and the location is fantastic, right across from the beach, a short walk to Aldi and restaurants and a short drive to the huge shopping centre at Robina. We booked a renovated apartment with aircon and it had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. As the aircon unit is only in the main bedroom, we learned to turn it on early morning and turn on the ceiling fans in the rest of the apartment. This helped distribute the cool air to keep the apartment at a comfortable temperature through that day, as it did heat up quite quickly once the sun was up. While there is construction happening of the new light rail, noise was minimal and it certainly didn't diminish our experience. It will be fantastic and so easy to get around once finished. Parking is under the building which was a bonus as the street parking is only for 3 hours. We would definitely stay here again and if your budget allows, book the renovated, aircon apartments if you don't cope with the Qld heat.

This property is the absolute best spot on the Esplanade. Easy walk in either direction for shops and transport. Buses tricky at this time whilst new tram rail works are done. I have stayed here many times. This time I was very disappointed with the apartment cleanliness. Lots of little bits needed attention. The stonework around the lovely pool needs some attention too. However, I will return!

View was amazing and great location. Unfortunately the room looked nothing like photos presented online. Extremely dated and many cosmetic issues with apartment including stained carpets and rust. Nice heated pool but closed by 7 pm which was surprising. Loved the views from the apartment but would never have booked if photos had been remotely accurate. I understand each apartment is different but there has to be some semblance of accurate representation in what you’re selling.

Best location the view from the kitchen sink had me washing dishes all week!! Room itself maybe wasn’t quite ready when we arrived, dishes were still in the dishwasher (didn’t discover this until day 3!) and tv was on. Rooms could do with a really good vacuum my daughter had a reaction to the dustiness of her room. Other than that we loved it and would definitely wish to stay again!!

I booked a superior apartment with ocean views and air conditioning, the top option on Expedia. I thought we would have a great ocean view, but it wasn’t the case. We were placed on level 3 with partial ocean views (looking directly into trees, couldn’t even see the sand) and the air conditioning placed in the far corner of the main bedroom which did nothing to help the apartment. The owner was apologetic but they’re running at capacity so couldn’t do anything. There were also works happening 24/7 on the light rail which we were unaware of. You can’t hear the works during the day, but when they’re saw cutting at 10pm, or trucks are reversing and unloading or loading material at 4am, it’s extremely loud.

Luxury in the 70s maybe the 80s - have stayed in better hostels half the price, similar views. The place is pretty grubby, lots of scuffs and dings, sandy leather couches. Luxury included the view only, needed more toilet paper? 50c at the lobby. Bathrooms are old, so old, so dated. No air con - the place isn’t air conned throughout so it’s just sticky business Less than average place

I booked a room with air-conditioning, only to arrive and find out that the bedrooms did not have air-conditioning, only the main living area. The bedrooms were extremely hot, making it difficult for us to sleep, especially with a young child. I felt very deceived at the time of booking as this was not specified in the advertising of this property on expedia. If I had of known I would have booked else where. It definitely made the stay not pleasurable but rather extremely uncomfortable!!

During our stay my husband ran out of his prescription medication so Peter called the local doctor and made an appointment for my husband. Lovely property in a beautiful position.

We got a premium ocean view apartment and im glad we did. It was a good size and seemed to have been renovated. It had everything we needed although compared to other places we stayed they didnt provide as much dish soap etc...so we are glad we bought the leftover packets with us from where we stayed previously because it would have been silly to have to buy everything for one week. Although the property itself, entrance , pool area etc could use an upgrade the pool area was perfect for the kids and really nice to swim in. It would have been nice if the people on the front desk had been friendlier, it did feel like they resented being asked simple questions but we didnt let it worry us.
