Stunning Ocean Views

I had an amazing experience in apartment 21B. The ocean views were absolutely stunning and visible from every room, including the shower! It had all the modern conveniences like a dishwasher and air conditioning, making our stay super comfortable. I loved the cleanliness and the peaceful atmosphere. This is definitely a great value for the views it's offering.

Perfect for Families

Our family booked four beachfront apartments and had a fantastic time. The spacious rooms allowed everyone to relax comfortably, and the kids loved that the beach was just across the road. The proximity to shops and activities meant we could explore easily. It was a lovely experience for all generations of our family.

The hotel boasts an incredible location right by the beach, making it perfect for a getaway. My room had a breathtaking ocean view, and the space was clean and spacious for my family. Unfortunately, there were several inconveniences, such as construction noise and intermittent issues with the facilities, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. While the price was reasonable for the area, some aspects could definitely use improvement.

Our stay at Imperial Surf was exceptional, thanks to its breathtaking views and convenient location just a short stroll from Central Surfers. The apartment was well-equipped for cooking, and the warm pools were a hit with the kids. However, there were some minor suggestions for improvement, like adding Foxtel for in-house entertainment.
