Stayed for a week recently with guests from the UK & we were very impressed by the facilities, apartment & service. Location was great, walking distance to everything & my 2 yr old son couldn't have been happier with the easy access to the beach & pool. We also had some relatives visit for lunch one day & it was... More

As a family of 4, including 2 teenagers the Dorchester was enjoyed by us all. We were in apartment 29 on the 14th floor and the views from every window and the front and rear balconies were absolutely awesome. The apartment was recently renovated and in addition to a lovely main bathroom the two queen bedrooms both had modern en... More

Hi, my family stayed here but unfortunately we were on the 2nd floor above the pool. The water heating unit sounds like an 747 jet engine...VERY noisy...and of course they only run it at night... Also, the horizontal blinds did little to keep out the building/street lighting at night. I asked the building manager if the pool heating could be... More

We stayed in unit 2 - the views were fantastic and the apartment was clean. However, it was in need of an update or at the very least some maintenance especially in the kitchen. The carpet was quite stained and the windows were dirty. Very uncomfortable lounge suite. No blankets were supplied for the main bedroom and only cotton blankets... More

We stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment at 9th floor. The living room and the kitchen faced the sea directly. We could hear the waves constantly bashing onto the coast when the doors to the balcony were open. We had a great time cooking and sipping wine while enjoying the sea view. Gold Coast 600 V8 Supercar Race was on when... More

My family and I have just returned from a holiday, in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 9th floor - the views were 'to die for'! The apartments are located right on the beach and its only a short walk along the road to the heart of Surfers - its a really great spot. The managers were very friendly and... More

We went as a group of five 21 year olds for 4 nights. We were really impressed with the size and comfort of the apartment. We were on the 1st floor, but still had a spectacular view of the beach, and it is literally on the beach! The management was very friendly and we really enjoyed out stay.

It was our 5th trip in 4 years and we'll be back again next January. Being on the beach side of the road, the views are amazing from the apartment, pool and BBQ area and there's no need to cross a road to get to the beach...you're on the beach. For that reason it's safer for children too. We love... More

Overall I found the Dorchester to be a great place to stay. The apartment lived up to the website's description; clean and tidy with everything needed for a comforatble stay. But the standout feature for mine has to be it's location. We were using taxis to get around whilst in Surfers, so being so close to everything (Caval Av, Pacific... More
