Grande Florida Beachside Resort

The apartament is big and very comfortable. Has everything to cook. The swimming pool are is amazing for kids. Really recommend

Excellent accomodation for kids. 2 massive pools, 1 is heated. Apartment is very clean and good location to base yourself for site seeing in Gold coast. Miami bar is walking distance for excellent food at night time. Beach is less than 50 metres away.

Stay here every time to visit Gold Coast. Perfect resort for families, great facilities, fantastic staff very accommodating and friendly, lovely rooms every thing you need, great location and 2 magnificent pools. Can’t speak highly enough of this place. Absolutely love it

We stayed for 8 nights in April. Our apartment was a 2 bedroom which was big enough for us. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms clean and balcony great size. The grounds are fantastic with a real tropical feel. The two pools are amazing and we were in the heated one every day. Great location away from the highway in a quiet street. There’s a walkway which takes you to the beach. Coles and other stores 700 m away. We found a good coffee spot too within 150 m which opens at 6. Staff were really friendly too. Couldn’t fault it and we’ll be back.

Our experience was the same as mentioned in the below post from Kelly W. When we entered the room, there was an extremely strong smell of bleach, so the cleaners had been there, but the floor was not clean. I requested a renovated or updated room due to some of the comments and we were told ours was. It was dated, basic and it was clear the owner didn’t really care. The kitchen was old, it was a challenge to cook, ensuite door didn’t close, artwork fallen off the wall and the beds were hard, the worst we have sleep on while on holidays. The pools are great, and the reason you would consider coming here The location is also great, it’s very low-key and not as crowded as other areas of the GC. Unfortunately, I think that the days of this place being full of holidaymakers is behind it. For such a busy period there was only ever up to 10 families or couples across to massive pools, and it became obvious that most of the units now are owned, not holiday rentals. I suspect this is why many comments around the average condition of the units and unfortunately it just didn’t have a holiday vibe over Christmas. Unfortunately, it felt well short of our expectations.

The grounds & pools are lovely but that’s where it ends. Our 3 bedroom apartment was very dated which would be ok if it was clean but that was not the case. Management needs to do a big overhaul of their housekeeping practises urgently. The state of this apartment was completely unacceptable. Mould on blinds, dust flying off ceiling fans, stained linen & carpet, not even enough cutlery provided for the number of occupants … the list goes on. VERY disappointing given the high price tag for substandard accommodation.

Just spent a very relaxing 4 days at Grande Florida, it was very last minute as our weekend plans fell through, so with only 3 days notice the Manager, Nelson, was able to squeeze us in by and provide a 2 bedroom unit. we do visit this resort most every year and know the place and Nelson well, but this visit he went above and beyond to assist.

Two stars, one for the location to the beach and the other for the pool/gardens. We were given apartment number 1 which was on the ground floor, very dated, mismatch of basic utensils, dirty toilet. Arrived for check-in but couldn’t drive in as someone was water blasting their car in the entrance. Went and parked in the car park to find someone was already parked in our bay. (The car park is all about dodging personal belongings of owners who store all their crap down there) Wouldn’t stay again.

The Grande Florida Beachside has two fantastic pools. This is the major draw card to stay. Also conveniently close to the beach. Apart from the pools and location there is not much else going for it. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment had a broken washing machine and Dishwasher and was missing some basic utensils in the kitchen. The apartment is outdated and the stair cases really dirty. A family member stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment and found it to be missing basic utensils, glasses etc from the kitchen and also outdated. Not worth the $5200 for the 10 nights in January.
