Great pool friendly staff 5-10 mins from main areas

Beautiful rental apartment in quiet but beautiful area one block from a great beach and apartments sufficiently high up have magnificent views of the coastline.

The indoor pool was fantastic! we didn't have great weather so made wonderful use of indoor pool and spa. The outdoor pool was large and the grounds were immaculate. The only downside was no BBQ - easily fixed.

Hotel was nice- room spacious and ideal for our purpose. Lovely sea view. Swimming pool great for the little one. Ideally situated in a lovely area that doesn’t feel too ‘holiday resort’. Cockroaches in bathroom but that’s Australia! Aircon not working in bedroom- had to manually reset outside every time. No hangers in any wardrobes.

The property is located at the Main beach which is a prime area. Short stroll to the beach, park, cafes & tram stop should you wish to roam around. This well equipped & managed building has 35 levels with undercover car park has indoor & outdoor pool, spa, sauna, gym & tennis court. We were at the 25th level with sea facing view which was simply spectacular. The rooms are clean, has fully equipped kitchen, central Air condition, TV w foxtel and laundry facilities that makes your stay comfy. In short a luxurious apartment with a view & ample of amenities.

The apartment was well furnished and stocked. It was very clean. The thing that absolutely sold it to us, was the stunning view. Waking up to it every morning was incredible. When we come back to the G.C, we will be staying here again. Free parking was also a bonus.

Excellent place to stay. Value for money and every facility one needs. Extremely helpful staff. The unit was well equipped with all the mod cons and ample crockery etc.

Contessa i considered to be of excellent value.The staff were be friendly and helpful, the unit very comfortable and clean, the indoor swimming pool was wonderful, and the beach and light rail only a few minutes walk away.i cant wait to return.

The hotel was ok on price great location however run down they even painted around the couch on this one crazy so ugly. Our biggest complaint is the cleaners ate my birthday cake, thinking we had left however it was a $60 cake barely touched, the ate a quarter of it and the chocolate specialty pieces ate all of them. I was gobsmacked at first but really this should never happen to imagine if you left jewelry would they keep it or hand it in mmmmmm...

Close to amenities and Sea World. Took grandchildren to theme parks and Pacific Fair shopping centre.

He apartment had obviously been sitting empty for a little while because it had that musty “no one has opened a window in ages” smell but it was still very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The view was incredible, the apartment was enormous, and the location is great, just a quick 5 minute walk to main beach along quiet streets. You can see the city, the hinterland ranges, and the ocean from the windows and balcony so you really do get it all. The pools are fabulous and lots of parking inside or free street parking if you have more than 1 car with you.

really spacious apartment, indoor pool is a great bonus! Reception staff so helpful and friendly.

The 3 brm apartment needs new carpet as there is a smell in the whole apartment. Also, it wasnt cleaned properly as there was hair on the floors and rubbish in the kitchen bin....smelt terrible.

It Faces north and would get very hot in Summer. Facilities onsite are excellent and location and proximity to beach and restaurants also good. Lifesaving club close by as well as Southport Yaught club and marina Mirage.

spacious, ocean view, comfortable, great pool area, great tennis court

Great location for Gold Coast Marathon. Comfortable and close to beach and cafes

We stayed here when visiting the Commonwealth Games and paid exorbitantly for a very tired room. The location and facilities were great but the room itself was so outdated and dusty we needed allergy medication to stay in it.

The location of the hotel was great but the service was very poor. No internet at all, poor TV signal for local channels, no staff to contact as reception was closed all 4 days that we stayed, the rooms wall were damaged due to the door, oven in the kitchen wasn't working, the fridge wasn't clean and overall the service was very poor.

We booked several rooms for a guys golf trip as Contessa's facilities, location & surrounding area suited us well- which proved to be the case.

Amazing apartment , beautiful view , full amenities. Decent location for transport links. Would definitely book again !

A spacious apartment. Which was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots , pans, cutlery etc. Aircon only in main area, ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Lights overall very dim. Master bedroom no over head light only lamps. Easy walk to shops and cafes. Shame indoor pool being renovated and no mention of it on booking sites. Outdoor pool and spa were great though,

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Contessa , the apartment was clean , beautiful views , close to restaurants and beach , my stay their was nice and peaceful . The only fault was the outdoor pool was out of order .

Room is spacious and comfortable. Worth to stay. BTW, the building manager David is very nice and helpful.

Hotel amenities was excellent

close to everything , good view the only thing is the bed is a little bit small

We stayed in level 19, 3 bedroom apartment for a week. Hotel is in a convenient location. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Can walk to the trams. We hired a car and drove to all the theme parks. Hotel itself has an indoor heated and an outdoor pool, spa and a sauna. Has free parking spot. Kitchen was very spacious and had all the necessary stuff. Loved the stay and wished we stayed longer.

Great weather, awesome view of the beach. Perfect place to relax & be lazy

Spacious unit with good facilities a really good clean of the apartment especially the kitchen would make a huge difference to the rating.
