This was the third visit with family to this secret gem. Right on the beach, no road to cross, the best view you can get and always in the sun. Right in the heart of Surfers with a great "low rise" feel. Hard to fault.

Our first time stay at One The Esplanade. Little wonder this is rated at #1. The service from Judy and Chris was superb. The rooms were excellent, spacious enough for our family of five and lovely and clean. We loved the absolute beachfront access, markets, shopping and restaurants. We can't wait to come again :-)

Stayed four nights in April 2013 as part of a two week road trip to Queensland, two adults and two 15 year old girls. Now I am not a fan of the Gold Coast, but teenagers must have their theme park adventures, so we booked Surfers to give them their fix, with a mindset of suffering through between our time... More

Our 3rd stay at One The Esplanade and once again...perfect! We stayed on the 14th floor with views that are unsurpassed on the Gold Coast. Every apartment faces down the coast with views back to Coolangatta in the 2 bed apartments. Our room was modern, clean, spacious and felt like home! All mod cons including Foxtel, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher,... More

As stated in all reviews, clean and updated rooms with amazing views, close to the heart of Surfers, yet nice and quite, which was exactly what i was looking for with no car and 3 kids (5, 3, 2 yrs) We loved the pool area and access straight out the gate to the beach. Can't thank Judy and Chris enough... More

We have been staying at these apartments since 1988. The units, completely renovated a few years ago, are spacious, well appointed, and close to everything - and being a smaller complex, its always lovely and quiet. Underground parking for all units too. Walk from the pool area directly onto the surf beach - no road to cross. The balconies are... More
