This was a very pleasant surprise a last minute booking of availability and convenience
I can describe this as a beautiful welcoming old friend from the outside a little dated but well maintained with a nice pool and BBQ area
Inside we were greeted with a comfy and equipped kitchen and dining lounge area with a pull-out sofa
A bedroom with ample storage and a comfy king bed
And a nice bathroom with in-unit laundry.
The front desk staff were lovely and accommodating

We loved our stay here. The lady was absolutely lovely who owned the place.
My only advice would be to make it more known that a deposit is needed and you will need to buy your own toilet paper as one is only available. Also a guide on how to use the rouch stove. Other than a bit of dirt in a drawer, was amazing. The view was beautiful, it was so close to everything we needed. Loved it here.

The property is outdated and badly in need of renovation. I thought it was too expensive, the oven was dirty, the carpets are grubby and stained, the walls need a good coat of paint. Certainly is not what I would expect of a resort.

Santana Resorts - a good place to stay
It was close to pacific fair shopping centre
Two stops away from Florida gardens tram stop and 3 stops away from Cavill avenue stop for surfers paradise beach
The only thing I would point of out is that we paid an xtra $125 for an extra person for 5 nights -even though it said on the Adevrtisememt that it caters for 3 people
When I have already paid for the queen bed and a sofa bed included in the living room
This is the only I could point out. As I have already paid over $1300 for the five nights
It was still reasonably priced
With laundry, kitchen and dining in one bedroom apartment
There’s a pool and a good security garage for a car
And the unit is reasonably 5 to 7 minutes away from the beach

The property was in a convenient and quiet location. I was surprised that the room did not have air conditioning. I realized after checking in that I had booked this room and had assumed that all rooms had air conditioning. The room is looking old and in need of some repairs, but for the price was overall very happy.

There was no communication, not sure if this is due to Expedia as it’s my first time booking with them. I did however message the resort directly and did not receive an answer from them.
The room wasn’t cleaned properly. The bathroom especially.
It was convenient having the washing machine and dryer.

Place wasn’t clean. There were stains on the kitchen walls that looked like meat splatter, chips everywhere, and what looked like blood on the bathroom roof. The front door had deep knife cuts in it along with the door lock looked like had been tampere. My son even said the bathroom looked like a scene from a scary movie.
Still haven’t got my bond back 5 days later, even though I left it clean and tidy with bedding stripped and dishes washed. No proper update or explanation, just excuses.
Also tried to hire table tennis racket, called and was told the office was out but they’d let me know when they got back. Never heard anything again which upset my kids hopes.
All round, not great. Wouldn’t book again.

The room stunk of filth, the cleaners did not do their job properly, spider webs in multiple areas and it had a terrible smell that just lingered all the time, even after we applied some plug in freshners, the smell was still around. No air con only fans that did nothing, not the appropriate stay at a place like the GC where temperatures go in the low 30s. Owner should spend some money to update soon. Definitely would NOT recommend this place for a stay, not even for one night.
The property was advertised with air conditioning and heating. There was no air conditioning and heating luckily we did not require these amenities as the weather was pleasant, otherwise, our stay would be miserable. I voiced my disappointment to the owner, who told me she could not do anything about it as she was fully booked.
Furthermore, the unit was not cleaned properly and there was dirt at the back of the sofabed. The extra sheets provided were also dirty.
I also blame wotif for this discrepancy as they do not do due diligence in checking whether these amenities are really provided. Henceforth will not be booking on wotif again.
