I needed a break from seismic activity and was unable to holiday with my family so stayed on my own at Aruba Surf.
It was lovely. Not a tall swaying or rocking building but a well equipped apartment with internet access, all the necessary kitchen appliances, (washing machine and tumble dryer in bathroom area) and excellent water pressure in the shower.
Loved my balcony with the wee table and chairs.
I swam every morning before breakfast in the the beautiful outdoor heated pool. The spa was good too.
And the location? Fantastic. So close to the shops and bus stops.
The staff were really nice and helpful. Made bookings for me to see shows etc.
If I get the opportunity to visit the Gold Coast again I would stay at Aruba Surf and have already recommended it friends and shared my positive experience with the travel agent.

We stayed for 6 nights,Beautiful grounds,nice size pool and spa.Staff very nice and helpful,Across the road from The Beach Hotel for $10 meals.5min walk to oasis centre,and 2min to beach.I would take older children here but not wee ones as the pool has no real shallow end were littles could paddle.we stayed in unit 29 quite modern looking but just getting a little tired around the edges but that wasnt a big deal.Casino,dracs,buses,pacific fair all a block away.

First thing we noticed was how clean the apartment was.Pleased the pool was heated too with plenty of 'sun traps'. Close to shops and beach. Staff and management very helpful.
Well equiped apartment and found our stay very restful..BBQ area very good and easy to operate .Hope to be back next year.

Stayed here for a week, it's a fantastic 3 star hotel just a few minutes walk to the beach. Lovely balcony with furniture so you can have your breakfast outside in the sunshine. Close to casino and Pacific Fair. Safe area to walk alone at night (I'm a female solo traveller and this is important). Other attractions nearby are Dracula's (MUST) and Pacific Fair shopping complex. Room was absolutely huge, which was a nice surprise. Only downsides I can think of was floor needs better underlay as it's really hard, and there was no lift, but otherwise a perfect stay. Would definitely come back.
