Sea World Resort

10/10 Excellent

"great deal"

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Great value - even for the slow season now. Very clean, and the apt was great. I especially liked having a washing and dryer since I've been traveling and needed to get everything cleaned up. I would definitely stay here again. Plenty of cafes and restaurants closely, and a grocery store. The city tram is 3 min walk."

Nightelier Mermaid Waters

8/10 Good

"Overall had an amazing stay. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the property itself was great with the pool, bar, and restaurant inside. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast which was included. The room itself was spacious and clean, especially the bathroom. My literal only complaint which knocked this review from a 5 to a 4 is that the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was so soft to the point where we were sinking into it. It was very difficult to get comfortable, and it severely impacted our sleep. My back is still sore. I’m usually pretty resilient when it comes to hotel beds of varying softness, but the beds at this hotel were just wayyy too soft."
