ULTIQA Points North

8/10 Good

"The apartment was nice, spacious and clean. The check-in process was slightly convoluted and in order to access the pool facilities at the other hotel was slightly annoying. The pool facilities at this hotel were out of order and we were not informed about this until after booking. The view was nice. It should also be noted that the braille on the buttons in the elevator was misspelled in certain places. Other than that the accessibility was good."

Tweed Ultima Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This is the first time we stayed at Tweed Ultima Apartment and it won’t be the last. The apartment is well situated with short walking distances to shops and beach. The apartment is very spacious and kitchen is well equipped. We have a nice sunset view from the living areas. The bed is so comfortable. Convenient bus stop to Gold Coast airport. Very helpful and friendly front desk ( Brett). As my husband said, “ what more do you want?”"
