I really enjoyed my stay at Sunset Island Resort. the units are spacious and modern, making for a comfortable experience. The location is perfect - just a short walk from Surfers Paradise, yet tucked away in a quiet area. However, I was a bit disappointed with the extra fees that seemed to crop up. it sometimes felt a little overwhelming.

My recent stay at Sunset Island Resort was disappointing, overshadowed by several cleanliness and service issues. While the pool area was nice, the apartment we had seemed old and poorly maintained, which really detracted from the experience. Overall, I wouldn't classify this as a four-star resort and feel there are better options available for the price.

Rooms
5.0
The 2-bedroom apartment was spacious, but the cleanliness was not up to par. The carpet felt like it hadn't been cleaned properly, and there were definitely signs of wear and tear throughout.
Service

The service was quite lacking, especially when we had issues with the apartment and required extra towels. The management didn't seem receptive to feedback, which made the experience frustrating.
Location

The location is decent, being close to Surfers Paradise, but it felt a bit isolated, and we were advised to take a taxi at night.
Dining

We didn't dine there much, but the options for meals before our flight were limited. Not an ideal place for dining, more practical if you're looking for convenience.
Facilities

While the common areas like the pool were appealing, the lack of basic amenities in our room-like sufficient towels and cleaning supplies-really detracted from the facilities offered.

I had a mixed experience at Sunset Island Resort. While the location was great and staff were generally friendly, there were significant issues like maintenance problems in the room and unexpected extra costs for supplies. Overall, it was a bit disappointing, but it had potential with some improvements.

Rooms

The apartment was not in the best shape; the shower head was broken, and the TV kept cutting out. I also received very minimal supplies, which left me needing to pay for extras. It didn't make for a comfortable stay.
Service

Most staff were friendly, but I found one owner to be rude and dismissive. It was frustrating when I needed help, especially since I felt I was treated differently than others. Graham was a standout for being genuinely helpful.
Location

The resort's location is pretty good, just an 8-10 minute walk to shops and the beach, and it felt safe being on the ground floor. Still, carrying groceries back was a bit of a struggle.

I didn't get to explore much dining at the resort, but I appreciated being close to Surfers Paradise for other options. A couple of homemade pastries I had were nice for breakfast on the go.

My stay at Sunset Island Resort was a mixed experience. On one hand, the pool area was lovely and well-maintained, providing a relaxing spot to unwind. However, the initial room I was given was less than satisfactory, with numerous maintenance issues that made my stay less enjoyable.

Rooms

I was upgraded to a ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, which was much better, featuring comfortable lounges and good TV reception. However, the initial unit had outdated furnishings and poor maintenance, which was quite disappointing.
Service

The service left much to be desired. The initial check-in process was unprofessional, and requests for basic items like towels and cleaning supplies were met with poor responses.
Location

The resort is tucked away near Surfers Paradise but can feel too far from the beach and nearby dining options, especially with the noise from the surrounding nightlife.
Dining

Dining options were limited on-site, and I had to venture out for meals, which was not very convenient. A better selection for late flights would enhance the experience.

The pool area was a highlight, very inviting and well-maintained, ideal for families looking to relax. However, overall service responsibilities seemed neglected.

I spent a week at Sunset Island Resort in May, and I appreciated its peaceful location away from the bustling heart of Surfers. My one-bedroom apartment was quite comfortable, and the friendly staff added a nice touch to my stay. However, the noise levels at night were a concern, and some amenities could use upgrades for a better experience.

Rooms

My one-bedroom apartment was cozy and clean, though the beds were quite basic and not very comfortable. The kitchen had the essentials, but it definitely needs some updates.

Location

The resort's location was great-close enough to Surfers for easy access to the beach and shops but still a bit removed from the noise, which allowed for restful nights. However, the surrounding area could feel crowded and unkempt at times.

I didn't dine extensively at the resort, but there were convenient options available nearby for meals, and I managed to grab a few crisps for snacks during my stay.

The pool area was decent, but it could use some improvement to enhance the overall experience, such as clearer water and tidier garden areas.
