Crystal Bay On The Broadwater

Very cosy and just the right size for our little family and trip

View was fantastic, good location & the room was spacious enough for a family of 5. Plenty of utensils, pots & pans, plates & cups to cook in house. The parking was easy & clear. The pool area was terrific for all ages.

It was directly opposite the water and our 2 bedroom apartment had a nice size balcony with views of pool and water. Reception was great and very accommodating. I used Gym,pool,steam room, spa. All excellent and clean and in good condition. Lots of deck chairs and the pools was a decent size and length for swimming. The room sizes met our needs and the kitchen had dishwasher,oven, microwave oven and normal appliances including washing machine and dryer to make our week holiday very comfortable. Walk in shower was larger than normal.

We are from the UK and we stayed for three weeks whilst visiting our daughter, partner and new baby (our first grandson). We stayed in one of the 11th floor apartments with a water view. It was a great apartment with comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen and clean. The bed linen and towels were changed weekly and we were informed in advance on what day this would be. The staff on reception were friendly and very helpful. They allowed our daughter access to the car park to visit us and to pop over and drop some shopping off for us before our arrival (as we arrived after midnight). Of course, as everyone has said, the view from our apartment was exceptional. Right across the bay, we could see Surfers Paradise and beyond. We even spotted dolphins and a Bull shark in the water. There were a great variety of birds on the water, including the famous pelicans and in the nearby park, and we had many morning visits from the lorikeets when we ate our breakfast on the balcony. We used the pool every day early in the morning, which was lovely and warm and very quiet. We also made good use of the jacuzzi! There's lots to do in and around the area with some good shops and restaurants about a 10-minute walk away. Our daughter drove us to most places, but there is a bus stop right outside the complex and Green bikes are available to hire. It's very flat for cycling!

Really liked the view of Broadwater, the pool, the sauna and spa. Neat little apartment, clean and cosy.
