Santa Anne by the Sea

Great location, basic room, clean but could use an update. Lift out of action atm so we got some steps in. Reception only open on the last day and he seemed lovely. We were sent communication via email for all our needs re check in and check out.

Not as quiet as expected

Received no information about how to get in. Lift very slow and broken down when I wantedto leave which meant that I had to rely on another guest to finish pacling and bring my gear down. Receiption not open when advertised.

When we arrived we had an apartment allocated that was very dirty but absolutely stank of long term cigarette smoke it permeated everything and in fact the whole complex stank. They offered another apartment and this one had not even been cleaned. One lady from another one of their resorts came and did her best but the kitchen was flithy, the drawers were flithy and had food scraps in them. The cooktop was in such bad condition did not use it. This is room stank as well just not as bad. A drawer under the bed was out and broken on the floor and one window by the bed had no curtain so you could see straight into the bed. On further review the air con unit on the deck had rubbish under it clearly no one had even bothered to check it and had not done so for a while. Management sorted the drawer and curtain but took some of the deck rubbish but clearly did not really care. We spent the 1st 2 days cleaning and had to buy air freshners to get the atmosphere right. Old facility needing major maintenance including the slowest lift ever experienced, extremely dissatisfied with accomodation and have asked them what they are going to do about it was not up to standard for money paid and we are chasing for a partial refund. Summary terrible and apart from lady first day complacent staff. They said would review refund request never came back. We have been to the Gold Coast frequently much better options, avoid this property.

Stayed in Unit 1 run down and dirty Air conditioner leaking water on the carpet.. Curtains unwashed and mouldy .. Verandah had worms and grime around tiling ..Kitchen cupboard hanging off hinge .. Coffee mugs chipped.. Nearly $300 a night ..One set of keys given as No Management on site

Very basic old style accommodation. Too much outdoor lighting at night. Blockout drapes did not fully fit the openings. Thrre was no natursl light during the day due to the tall builing next door. Barbeque had been out of order for sometime but there wss no mention about it. Web info says to contact using given numbers, but they did not work at any time. Had to look up their website for email. Reception was never open.

Good location, with comfortable until layout. A very quick walk to the beach and many local dining options, including the local surf club.

Good value, excellent off street parking, perfect location , very sleek check in !

Would not recommend for the price. Very old .. poor facilities in comparison to others for price. No staff ever at reception.. smell of smoke from tenants everywhere ..
