The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences
One of the most beautiful ocean view apartments I have ever stayed in. The uninterrupted ocean view followed by the impromptu fireworks in the evening was simply amazing.

Room was tidy and spacious with amazing view. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Location is perfect, away from the craziness and but close by in case you miss it

Nice room, getting old and needs new furniture soon. Great view. Clean. Pools are good but kind of small. Great inside pools. Awesome location.
