Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were pleasant, and while the rooms felt a bit dated—expected since the resort was built in the late seventies (i think) —we were okay with that. However, there’s no excuse for the apartment’s cleanliness. The floors were dirty, and the cutlery was not clean. The breadboard was in such poor condition that we covered it just to chop some watermelon. On a positive note, the location was great, with an easy walk or ride to the main strip of Surfers Paradise.

Unfortunately we were there during cyclone alfred so we saw it at its worst. Our unit had a beautiful view that was wonderful, however it leaked & there were broken latches on the window with the wind sounded like a freight train in your room. We left early. With beautiful weather it would have been different.

It was very clean...The mat in the lounge room was dirty. There was rust all around the bath and window in the bathroom also the surface in the bath was worn away. We were NOT told there was a step from the loungeroom to the outside veranda and I fell over, fortunately I didnt hurt myself. Not enough toilet paper??? Would we stay there again. NO.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property was largely occupied by elderly people who lived there. Not that this was an issue, but it did come as a bit of a surprise. I would not class it as a resort. Our apartment was only serviced (towels changed, beds made) once in our 10 day stay and apartment was a bit out dated. On a positive note the apartment was in a quiet area and located right in front of the beach with great view from the balcony. Front reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The Equinox is a very old high rise so if you’re looking for flashy bathrooms and kitchens, this place is not for you. BUT, if you’re looking for a comfortable bed to sleep in, a functional bathroom with a hot shower with full pressure, a basic kitchen with a full sized fridge, a big lounge room with smart tv and sofa bed, then this is the perfect place for you to stay in. Check in was easy and very friendly and informative. The Equinox has million dollar views of both the ocean and canals. We saw pods of dolphins and whales playing from the balcony. It is directly across from Main Beach so has easy access to the beach, it’s an 8 minute, easy stroll from the heart of Surfers Paradise, so perfect if you’re looking to go out on the town and not have to worry about driving home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Equinox and would definitely recommend staying there.

Frances

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was good, the staff were nice and helpful, granted. BUT The pictures on the web were wholly inaccurate and highly doctored. The adjoining rooms were straight out of a bad 1980s movie. The carpet, kitchen, bathrooms, and furniture have not been changed since it was originally built in the 80s. To say it was dated is a huge understatement. The cleanliness was questionable. There was dirty underwear stashed in the room divider, and the amenities were old and rickety. Noise carried from the hallways, and the pipes of the building made noises that kept my children up. Unequivocably, the worst place I have ever stayed at, and I have travelled many cities and countries. The room rate they are charging for is ridiculous for the quality you are definitely NOT going to get. Would not recommend at all.

This Apartment complex is in my opinion the best value on the GoldCoast. I rented it for my parents who were attending a golf championship. And would definitely recommend it to those who would loke a bit bigger soace than a hotel room offers. The ability to cook and have a lounge area to chill in.. Plenty of parking and great views

The place is old, which is okay, but the poor maintenance is the issue. There is mould in the shower and sink. The exhaust fan is full of dust, there are weeds in the gutters that have grown to over 40cm tall, broken tiles on the balcony, missing tiles in the pool, broken sunbeds on the rooftop sun deck (we even told Ray the manager on day 1 about the sun beds but they were still there day 7). We saw a guy trying to break into the cash box of a vending machiene and another time had a naked man passed out in the hallway right at our door. The Police and Ambulance had to come as he woke up and become very violent. Do not stay here!!! The managers are too old to keep up with simple tasks such as basic maintenance. The place is run down, dirty, and unsafe.
