The property was comfortable and amazing for the price we paid. The staff were accommodating and very helpful with arranging late check in, early check out and parking. The gym / pool / spa was great and not too busy at the times we went. Its location is close enough to walk to Surfers Paradise and there are plenty of shops nearby to purchase groceries for the week

The Waterford is in a great location, close enough to Surfers Paradise for when you want it, but far enough away to be quiet. The views are stunning and the apartments are lovely, very roomy with fabulous wrap around balconies.

It was so unfortunate that two flights back to Sydney were cancelled on the same day. My friend and I were so lucky to find La Costa, one of the motels with a super high rating on Expedia, TripAdvisor and other hotel websites, and got the last room of it to save our lives! We thought it was just a motel and did't have high expectation on La Costa even its rating is exceptionally high. However, when we arrived and met the friendly and helpful hostess, we were so glad that we picked La Costa! The...

Loved our one week stay! Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with water views. Spacious and nicely decorated. Perfect with kids, pool spa a big tick.
Only thing we didn’t love was the front desk receptionists. Rarely smiled and both ladies lacked warmth. Not what you would expect at front desk as you enter the building.
