Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites

location as advertised, directly across from beach, unit had all you needed for your stay, great air-conditioning (especially since it was hot & humid), bath, washer & dryer & the shower water pressure was great, couldn't fault the amenities, reception staff extremely helpful, swimming pool was fantastic, tv had all the channels & a few Foxtel channels (sports etc), watching the incredible electrical storms at night !!

Fabulous location central to most things in Coolangatta, walking distance to shopping & dining, & straight across to the beach. The ground floor rooms have a great large outdoor patio area. The pool area and grounds are a standout at this hotel.

The room was spacious with a great view and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great, beach at the front and shops, cafes etc all just outside the door. The cab fair from the airport was under $20 and was a very quick drive. The pool area was amazing with established trees and garden giving lovely shade a nice feel - not like other places with the sparse concrete pool areas. There were plenty of beach chairs under beach umbrellas, under the shade of the tree and there was also lovely lawn within the pool area. The slides were great fun and the hot tub section was right there too.

We had a great 3 night getaway 25 November to 28 November. Absolutely amazing weather and the resort very comfortable. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We booked an ocean view unit 362/364 (2 bedroom apartment) which was amazing. In the second bedroom (like a studio apartment) it had a couch which when you remove the cushions folds down from the wall to form a double size bed. So basically in this room you can have 4 people sleeping comfortably. There is a private screen sliding blinds to separate the two areas. 364 had the master bedroom, bathroom with great laundry, kitchen (great fridge), lounge & dining and nice balcony overlooking the beach. The master bedroom even had a desk which was very useful as my husband had to work. 3 flatscreen televisions, plenty of storage and oven/cooktop and dishwasher.

We were surprised at how close we were positioned to the Seafront but this also had its disadvantages due to the position of the Lifts which isn't something we had allowed for when booking. I use a Walking Frame for support. The Cleanliness of the apartment was overseen by very efficient staff & they bring their own personal experiences with them.
