My husband booked this place in error. He had a whole lot of tabs open, we decided on one, then he managed to book the wrong one. We had left our run far too late anyway so for the circa $200 per night we were wanting to pay, there wasn't anything I was particularly enamoured with anyway, so we just kept the booking.
The apartment we stayed in was very roomy. It had two bathrooms, two bedrooms, lots of living space and a decent sized balcony. The kitchen was great, modern oven, dishwasher, fridge and loads of kitchenware.
Location was fine, close to the beach, a few restaurants within the general vicinity and not too far to Broadbeach.
Facilities were pretty good and well maintained, as was the apartment in general.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
For me personally, decor is generally a deciding factor on where I choose to stay. I was aware that the Biarritz was a bit eighties and so wouldn't have chosen to stay there and on my own personal scale would have only given it a three, however, for many people I realise decor doesn't come into the equation, so have given it a four. The apartment we were staying in had had some of the decor updated, the ensuite was modern, the kitchen was pretty modern and some of the furniture had been updated. There was still terribly garish couches and doona covers, lots of archways, curving walls with mirrors and the shower screen was made of that browney-yellow plastic that was so popular in the eighties. The main bedrrom also didn't have proper curtains (just those vertical fabric blinds) so we were woken early by the sun. Everything was very clean and well maintained though.
