I like that we had a whole apartment to ourselves; including a private bathroom with washing machine and dryer, a dishwasher, full size fridge and freezer, private balcony, comfortable double bed, tv, sofa, microwave, kettle, toaster, dining table, 2 side tables, plates etc. They also provide linen and soap. And there is a pool. The receptionist put me on a lower floor as I had heavy stuff and managed to match booking.com price when I ask to extend. They also set up a direct debit so I didn’t get charged the surcharge on my card. And the housekeeper did a great job and was really nice. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

I was in room 14 so this may not be the case for every room as they’re each furnished my different people they sub let to. But our oven was very dodgy (sparked and made our food taste like burnt metallic gas). The kettle also was black inside and looked a bit questionable. We also didn’t have oven tongs or mittens which would be handy. And the tv can be glitchy sometimes but not that often. I think if they replaced the oven with a new oven or an air fryer and a portable hot plate this apartment could be great.

We loved our entire stay!! Aruba Sands surpassed all expectations and Broadbeach is such a beautiful relaxing place. The staff were so friendly and nothing was a problem. The units are privately owned and ours had been renovated beautifully. Dishwasher, washing machine and dryer all in as new condition. Being a small resort we basically had the pool and spa to ourselves. They are both heated to the perfect temperature. There is a large BBQ area by the pool as well. Aruba Sands was the perfect place for us and I'll definitely book there again. Bonus, you get a carpark space under the resort!! Everything is within easy walking and the surf club accommodates gluten and dairy free and is only about a 3-4 minute walk away. The Oasis shopping centre is about the same distance and has a woolworths so you can easily stroll down and get any groceries. We were absolutely thrilled with everything!!! After booking it for such a bargain I was quite worried but there was no need, it was clean, tidy and well run. As I'd read in other reviews there are a few places using the name 'Aruba' so make sure you book the Aruba Sands resort and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We didn't want to leave!!! It was a perfect holiday for us. Couldn't fault a thing

Absolutely loved our stay at the resort. Our one-bedroom apartment was just perfect. It was spacious with a comfy bed, modern furnishing and a spacious balcony as well. Oh, and not to mention the kitchen had everything in it also. The clothes hanger unfortunately wasn't functional, however, I happened to bump into the owner of the resort, (whom I had a great conversation with by the pool), and after I mentioned to him that it would be nice to have a new one, within an hour he delivered it himself to us personally. This indicates a great customer service and made our stay even more enjoyable. This resort is truly is a little sanctuary amongst the highrises on Broadbeach with a central location and walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping centers. Thank you, we had a great time and we will visit again one day soon! :)

The water in the shower at times changed from hot to cold unexpectedly (hence the rating is 9 not 10)

Looove the location & will be staying there every time we are back on the Gold Coast… Friendly staff and a great location being close to all the shopping centres…

We were looking forward to using the spa pool but, unfortunately we were informed that the motor was not working and it was cold during our week long stay…

Loved the location, walking distance from beach, Pacific Fair and lots of restaurants. Also very quiet and lots of space in the apartment. Also had its own laundry in the bathroom and secure basement parking.

Only negative is that the apartment is a little tired, could do with updating and we had to carry our suitcases up 3 flights of stairs from the garage as no lift. Did not worry us though as it suited all our other needs.

Very handy location,helpful and kind staff.Having the appliances at hand was good too. Air-conditioning worked well.

That our van couldn't go underneath, however it was good we could use the sister hotel visitor parking. Also the spa didn't turn on on my morning swim. The smoke alarm above my head flashed a light , as I was going off to sleep.

Our apartment was amazing. Clean and very modern. Right next to the pool and balcony facing the road! Amazing stay very comfortable and manager was very pleasant and great to talk too! Great for families and we can’t wait to stay again with our children.

Only issue would be with the shower and getting it to the perfect temperature but because it was hot we didn’t mind it being lukewarm

The accommodation is very handy to the beach, shopping and restaurants.

I didn't like that firstly there was no Wifi and secondly, when it was fixed I had to pay for it. Wifi should be a standard feature in any accommodation and should not be an extra charge.

We required an emergency last minute Christmas/New Year’s accommodation and the team at Aruba Sands were wonderful, allowing an early check-in and a later departure. Great location, and a room with everything we needed.

Nothing to dislike, it was exactly as advertised.

Comfortable, handy, pleasant manager, homely . Ideal adjoining unit near my family's unit. Exceeded my expectations.

In my studio unit there was no alternative but to wash dishes in the hand basin. Not Hygienic ! I suggest they provide a small plastic bowl for dishes. However everything else was great.
