Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites in Gold Coast

Rooms are a little old but they are clean, well ventilated and adequate for a family holiday. Love the 2 unit layout for our older kids. Each have their own unit space with an adjoining front door. Kitchen is slightly small and only equipped with the bare minimum.

Location wise you couldn't ask for anything closer to the beach or the pool.

The rooms are dated but functional and clean and are great accommodation for adults.
It’s a great location and the pool area is fantastic for kids.
However if you are travelling with young children take note. We found that the 2 bedroom adjoining apartment was not suitable, especially if there’s only one adult.
The rooms are not interconnected, they are 2 separate rooms with an alcove area and a common front door. It means the children are sleeping a fair distance away, in a completely separate room, with heavy doors that have to be propped open with door stoppers and full access to the front door of the alcove area.
Also, there are no key locks on the balcony doors and kids have easy access to light furniture that they could move to take a look over the balcony.
The showers are over the bath, and it’s very slippery, they really need to provide non slip mats in each bath.
We had one adult staying with two young children and these issues created a fair amount of anxiety. We ended up moving a mattress into the main bedroom so the kids and adult could sleep in the same room and apartment. We also moved furniture to block the access to the balcony door in the second room.

Requires some TLC
Great location as everything is within walking distance. Staff customer service was mixed- from grumpy and couldn’t be bothered, to pleasant and helpful. Room was very run down with lots of patching on walls but not repainted, kitchen cupboard doors hanging off, bed had to be fixed sd it wad missing legs and generally unclean- used coffee pods in sink upon arrival. No milk in fridge at all for tea and coffee. Pool nice. It was costly per night and we would not recommend it due to the state of the apartment
