My friend and I stayed in apartment 16C, which has views to the North and East (overlooking the beach).
This was in July 2010. The apartment was spacious but had tired looking furniture. The fridge and stove top burners could do with replacing. As you can see in my photos, the fridge had rust spots and the burners looked rusty and worn out. The beside table in one room was chipped and marked.

However, despite this, the fridge did do its job properly and kept our food cold, and the burners worked and so we were able to cook food easily.

Beach Haven is just minutes walk from the beach and the shops, including a supermarket, cafes, restaurants and a post office. Also just minutes walk down the road are bus stops where you can catch a bus to Surfers Paradise or any of the theme parks on the Gold Coast.
The huge Pacific Fair shopping centre is about a 10 or 15 minute walk away but you can also catch a bus there.
The nearest little shopping centre near Beach Haven has the monorail station where you can catch the monorail to Jupiter's Casino, which is also a walkable distance.

Beach Haven has several swimming pools. We stayed in winter so did not use the outdoor pools, but we did use the indoor heated pool and spar and loved them! However, I would recommend that any guest should wear rubber footwear such as flip flops/thongs in the indoor pool area as the floor seemed to always be soaking wet and slippery.

We had a generous sized balcony on which to sit and enjoy the view. It was spectacular at any time of the day or night.

The three elevators were right on the other side of our lounge room wall and we barely heard them, aside from a low whispering, wooshing sound which did not bother us at all.

Sleep quality was very good, comfortable beds and pillows, adequate curtians to block out the city lights and barely any street noise.

The apartment had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, allowing us to have one each. The bathoom floors are tiled with smooth, sleek tiles which could become hazardous when wet. A bathmat is provided and I made sure to move carefully within the large and roomy shower stall. The water pressure was a bit on and off, with a consistenly hot (but not too hot) shower difficult to achieve. My friend however said she had no problems at all in her shower, the one belonging to the main bedroom.

The excellent central location of Beach Haven, its lovely swimming pools and great views meant that we had a great stay and were able to tolerate the old stovetop burners and fridge and tired looking furniture.

I would return to this place again.
