My stay at the Swell Resort had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic, close to both the shopping center and the beach, I faced significant issues with our room booking. The apartment we were assigned did not match our booking, and it was frustrating to deal with unexpected cleaning fees. Overall, it was good value for money, but the management left a lot to be desired.

We were given a two-bedroom apartment rather than the one-bedroom we booked, and the sleeping arrangements were quite inconvenient.

I had a nice time at the hotel with fantastic facilities and neatly maintained rooms. The location is close to Burleigh Beach and a variety of shops and restaurants, which was a big plus. However, the check-in process was frustrating due to poor communication, and some amenities weren't operational, which hindered my overall experience.

The service was a bit lacking at check-in, as there was no one available when I arrived, which caused a delay. I would rate the responsiveness a bit lower due to this experience.

While the facilities were generally great, I did notice that the tennis court was unavailable during my stay, which was a disappointment. Also, some basic necessities like extra toilet paper should be considered.

My stay at Swell was overall enjoyable, especially thanks to the amazing pool and the spacious rooms with decent amenities. The location made it easy to explore the beach and nearby dining while providing a quaint atmosphere. However, the service was a letdown due to a room cleaning issue upon arrival, and I felt the overall experience could have been better without the negative interactions with long-term residents.

The rooms were spacious with a full kitchen and laundry facilities, making it very convenient for families. However, they could do with more thorough cleaning before check-in.

Our stay at Swell Resort had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and dining options, and the pool was a highlight. However, we faced some serious issues with our room booking and unexpected charges that left us quite disappointed.

We originally booked a one-bedroom apartment for three people but ended up with a two-bedroom apartment that didn't suit our needs. One room had a double bed, and there was simply no proper arrangement for our daughter, which was frustrating.

My recent stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. While the location is fantastic, just a short stroll from the beautiful Burleigh Beach and local shops, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and service. The pool area left much to be desired, and I felt uncomfortable when the cleaners entered my unit without prior notice. Overall, the amenities were promising, but my experience this time was not up to par compared to previous visits.
