We stayed at One the Esplanade for a holiday with our two children aged 4 and 10 years. Our 2-bedroom apartment was recently repainted and fitted out with modern furniture, very spacious and clean. All rooms are north facing, and as this property is the first one on the beach side of the road in Surfers, there is nothing to... More

Thank-you for your positive review and glad that you and your family enjoyed your holiday with us, hopefully we will see you next time you visit the Gold Coast. We apologize that the BBQ was out of order, unfortunately this occurred at the start of a long weekend and had to wait until a service agent could attend and then... More

What a view, and the staff were so accomodating on such short notice. I would highly recommend staying here, fresh sea breeze, great views and super short walk to the markets or the mall. And of course the beach was literally right there......

Choosing a place to stay at Surfers is bewildering. Pretty much everywhere you examine with tripadvisor has a mixture of excellent/terrible, and a mixture of tired-room/great-room reviews. But that's Queensland holiday accommodation for you - the apartments are generally privately owned and so mileage varies. We chose One The Esplanade on the strength of the TripAdvisor reviews, the location, and... More

We stayed at the One on the Esplanade for 11 nights, we had a deluxe 1 bedroom apartment and it was very comfortable. The views from our apartment were great and from our bedroom we could see down to Main beach. The unit was quiet and being on the 14 floor the views were FANTASTIC. Judy and Chris were very... More

We had a great stay recently at one the esplanade.....2 families in 2 x 2 bedroom apartments. The pool facilities were great as well. You cant get much closer either to the beach or Cavell ave. Chris and Judy thanks for your help to get us tickets to wet and wild as well as sending back the lost iphone charger.... More

The One is certainly just that....The One!!! Chris & Judy (The Ones' Managers) are the warmest , friendliest managers of anywhere we've stayed on the Gold Coast (in fact, anywhere in the world!) They have great local knowledge, up for a chat & are a credit to the complex. We were holidaying with another family and we couldn't have picked... More

One the Esplanade is the only place to stay in Surfers Paradise. It's close enough to Cavill Ave (400M) that you don't miss any of the action but far enough away that you can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep or glass of wine on the balcony. We have stayed at several hotels around Cavill ave and the noise of constant... More

One the Esplanade is a luxury. I regard it as a treat. Located on the beach, it fulfills everything you are after! The rooms are great; people friendly and helfpul; there is a well maintained pool and garden area at your fingertips; and I haven't even mentioned a ocean at your doorstep. It is a unique location and holiday destination.
