My family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children) stayed in the 3 bedroom penthouse on level 25. (top floor)room # 75. it exceeded our expectations! views are fabulous, apartment is on two levels and is spacious and clean, everything you need and more! the facilties at talisman are wonderful, service great, pool and spa was very popular with kids, only a short walk to oasis shopping mall and the beach across the road, perfect location and priced well. highly recommended for families, will definately be back!... we had a fantastic holiday!

The managers Wayne & Carolyn were amazing they helped us with whatever we enquired about. The location of the Talisman is just fantastic close to all amenities.. The apartment was very clean and the pool was great, highly recommend anyone from any where to stay there. We WILL be back Thanks

I stayed at the talisman with my brother and his friend (both 13) for 10 days. I contacted the Talisman around May to book; I then discovered later that these dates clashed with school commitments for both boys. I then contacted Talisman to ask whether we could change our booking which they were happy to do at the same price even though this became holiday period. We stayed in room 71 on the 23rd floor facing south east. This apartment was clean and had plenty of space. The furniture was a bit out of date but this did not concern us. Upon arrival we were greeted and everyday both myself and the boys were greeted even when they went out by themselves. Talisman Apartments is absolute beachfront with a 2 minute stroll across the road to the patrolled beaches and a 5 minute walk to Broadbeach mall which we underestimated. We begun only thinking it had a few stores (Woolworths incl) however we only went to Pacific Fair once choosing to go here instead! We went for the Theme parks and with public transport to all theme parks it was quite easy to go wherever we wanted whenever we wanted. Be careful the Theme Park express from Broadbeach to the parks has its last service about 11.30 am so make sure your there!!!!! Another thing make sure you book in advance to go to the Outback Spectacular as it cost $100 in taxis to get there and back! This however was our fault and lesson has been learnt!
The pool at the Talisman is gorgeous and we used it everyday, some days choosing to stay and relax in the spa and pool rather than going out. The area and the apartment were quite safe and this was important (being 21 and looking after 2 13yr old boys) with needing an electronic device to get into the pool and into the apartment after hours.
I would definitely stay here again and have already advised people to stay here, it is awesome and I hope to go back soon!

We stayed at the Talisman for 2 weeks in May this year. The weather was perfect and the Hotel really made our stay complete. We hired a car which made things easier in terms of getting to theme parks and other tourist destinations, but the bueses run very regularly so a hire car isn't compulsory.
Location was perfect, it was right opposite the beach and a short stroll to the shops and restaurants. Because we weren't on the main strip of Broadbeach it was really quiet which was great. I definitely recommend Broadbeach compared to Surfers if you are after a bit more of a quieter holiday as Broadbeach is a bit more up market and has is more relaxed.
In terms of the Hotel, it really was great. The staff were friendly, we got a good deal, the rooms were really big, great views, lovely pool, free parking, I really couldn't fault anything.
