Grande Florida Beachside Resort - Miami, Queensland

The Grande Florida Resort offers a fantastic location and a great pool, but unfortunately, that’s where the highlights end. While we did enjoy our stay, the condition of the property, particularly our 3-bedroom apartment (Room 131), left much to be desired, especially considering the price.

The apartment was clean in the basic sense—floors and sheets were tidy—but it desperately needs a deep clean. Dust coated the fans and shutters, and the exhaust fan above the stove was clogged with oil and grease. These details made the space feel neglected.

Beyond cleanliness, the apartment itself is in need of some much-needed updates. The shutters and screen doors are broken, the fans are outdated, and basic kitchen essentials like extra plates and bowls were missing. Outside the apartment, the stairwell carpet was filthy, and the carpark didn’t appear to have been cleaned in years. The gardens, while a nice feature, would greatly benefit from pruning and regular upkeep.

Overall, the potential is there, but the lack of attention to detail and maintenance is disappointing. For the price we paid, I expected a higher standard of cleanliness and care. I hope management invests in improving these aspects, as the resort has the foundation to provide a truly enjoyable experience with some effort and investment.

This is my annual solo getaway. I would live here in a heartbeat. Nelson and his team are extremely friendly and hospitable. Apartments are clean, fully functional and comfortable. Location is perfect for walks with shops and cafes close by. Pool area is spectacular, surrounded by greenery. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

The guy at reception had a super friendly and relaxed presence which reflects the overall vibe of the resort. Such a beautiful place with amazing facilities. A tropical luxury for the whole family to enjoy. The sauna was the cherry on top for our family! Highly recommend 🙂

Be warned, there are no elevators in this complex so if you get a top floor apartment, it’s 6 flights of stairs, with luggage/groceries from the parking garage. ||That said, the apartment was a very good size, had all the amenities you need, including washing detergent for the clothes washer. Reception has a little shop you can buy essentials from and it’s directly across from the beach. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby and two sensational pools onsite, one heated and one not. ||We had a great stay and would come back again, but request a lower floor apartment.

We booked a Xmas escape to relax & unwind. Each day we walked 400 - 500m to swim at the beach between the flags & about 50 steps to the heated pool. The room we stayed in was recently renovated & was very clean & practical. There's a locked garage with your own allocated spot & stairs located to your building.|The kitchen was well equipped.

Stayed there for a week. Nice modern apartment overlooking the pools even though it was three flights of stairs to get there. The two pools, one heated were great and our grandson loved them. You won't get bigger or better pools anywhere. Good location on a quiet street with bus stops near by. Private walkway through to beach. Staff were friendly and helpful in booking theme park tickets. Owen, the manager, was particularly helpful in sorting out a couple of transport issues we had. Would definitely recommend.

We recently had a 4 day stay here, just a fabulous place for families. Our top floor room was extremely modern and maintained aswell as super comfortable. The car parking was convenient and the 100 meter beach access was terrific. Both pools were just beautiful and really good for kids. The gaming room was a fun addition and the staff were lovely people. Hoping to return soon and definitely recommended to anyone.
