I had an incredibly mixed experience at the resort. On one hand, the pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, which my family truly enjoyed. However, the cleanliness of our apartment was a significant issue, with dirty appliances and insufficient kitchenware, leaving much to be desired. Overall, while the amenities like the pool were great, my experience with the room was disappointing.

I recently had a fantastic stay at Santana on the Gold Coast. The location was perfect for accessing public transport, and the owners were friendly and helpful, making our trip even better. The room was well-equipped, and the heated pool was a lovely addition. However, we did encounter some minor issues with the air conditioning and a less-than-ideal experience with the fold-out bed. Overall, it was a great value for money and a place I'd definitely return to.

We had a fantastic week at Santana, enjoying a prime location just minutes away from the Theme Park buses and other public transport options. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals and feel at home. However, we did notice that some areas could use a bit of a refresh and the games room wasn't utilized much. Overall, the stay was memorable and we'd definitely return!

I had a decent experience at the hotel, considering the budget-friendly rates. The rooms were spacious and clean, although clearly in need of some maintenance. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beach and local attractions. However, the lack of on-site staff during weekends was a downside. Overall, it was acceptable for a short stay but not somewhere I would choose for a longer visit.
