Beach Hotels in Queensland, Australia

My friend and I stayed here for three days. There were different social activities every night. We could play board games, taste cheese, sip red wine and enjoy grilled sausages with friends from different places. Friends who are not good at socializing can pet Spider, the store dog🐶 The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, and basic seasonings are provided. There is a whole wall of refrigerators, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to put the purchased ingredients because there are too many guests. In the morning, simple toast, spreads, milk and tea bags are provided as breakfast. I stayed in a quadruple room. The environment and shared bathroom were quite clean and there was air conditioning in the room. Unfortunately, the mattress was a bit soft and the soundproofing in the room was not very good. It seemed that no one stopped the guests from making noises and laughing by the swimming pool late at night, which made it difficult to fall asleep.

Exceptional Luxury with Thoughtful Tech and Standout Service I recently stayed at the Dorsett Gold Coast, and it was an outstanding experience. The level of detail across the property is highly visible, making for a stay that feels both premium and personalized. A Seamless Arrival The check-in experience set a fantastic tone. We were warmly greeted and offered welcome drinks at the Jin Café & Bar, which was a lovely touch. While we navigated the parking, the porter took our luggage directly to our room, allowing us to settle in stress-free. Speaking of parking, while it is $20 per night, it is worth every cent for the convenience. The ”in and out” process is incredibly seamless because the staff enters your registration number into the system, so you never have to worry about tickets or delays. Standout Service: Special Thanks to Sona The service here is truly top-tier. I want to give a huge mention to Sona at reception, who was incredibly helpful throughout our entire stay. Her professionalism and warmth were much appreciated. Furthermore, the speed of the reception service for any phone requests was impressive—they are lightning-fast. The ”Smart” Room Details The room design features some ”genius” touches that I haven't seen elsewhere: * The Smart Mirror: The bathroom mirror has a specialized coating so that even after a steaming hot shower, a specific section remains perfectly clear. * Auto Night Light: The bathroom has an automatic night light that activates on its own—perfect for navigating at night without fumbling for switches. * The in room switches was also very thoughtful and unique, for the first time experienced such. * The Chromecast casting tech was great as you can stream what you like. Dining & Relaxation The pool area is absolutely fancy and stunning—a perfect spot to lounge. We also enjoyed the hearty buffet breakfast at the Star Grand; it’s a great spread, though I’d love to see a few more vegetarian varieties added to the hot selection. Constructive Feedback To make the experience truly 5-star across the board, there are two areas for improvement: * In-Room Appliances: The hairdryer and iron felt quite basic and didn't really match the premium, high-tech vibe of the hotel. * Poolside Dining: While the pool itself is beautiful, the restaurant menu there is very limited and almost negligible. More food variety by the water would be a big plus. Overall, a fantastic stay. Between the tech, the parking ease, and the wonderful service from Sona, I would definitely recommend the Dorsett!

A little subtropical oasis right in the middle of town. Conventionally located in the town centre with access to shops and businesses, next door to Woolies and a short walk to the beach. And yet it’s a quiet, peaceful and lush spot to stay. Spotlessly clean. Lovely staff.

The hotel room was clean, spacious, and clearly recently renovated. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage safely in a locked baggage room. The hotel grounds are beautiful, with clean and very attractive pool areas surrounded by lush plants. In the early evening, you can even see fruit bats flying over the property, which adds a special touch to the atmosphere. The hotel is a bit further away from the city centre, but only 15min from the airport.

Only lost one point from me, because of the WiFi signal but I can live without I'm just glad I don't have the kids with me. Personally apart from that my stay was flawless. It has the perfect, location, service, security, cleanliness, not overly priced and I've also saved a lot of cigarettes (because I'm too lazy to walk outside to have one). Then there's the bed!! Wow the bed is lovely, on arrival I had things to do but I laid down for a ”little bit” and I woke up at midnight 😬😮😁 I will definitely be returning in the future. .

It was great stay. Clean room, quiet, peaceful ambiance plus the beach itself. Professional staff. In short we love it ❤️

Lovely hotel located at the other end of the Esplanade. The broad walk at the back of the hotel was nice to stroll along and an easy way to get to the city center. Kudos to the reception staff, Riccardo for leaving a really good first impression when I first arrived. He was so clear in explaining everything I needed to know before I checked in, and subsequent days when I saw him he was also really helpful with whatever requests I had. The room was big and spacious, very comfy beds!! The housekeeping staff were also friendly whenever I saw them as I head out for the day. Food from the room service was tasty. However, the breakfast buffet options were almost the same everyday though, wish there could have been more variety. But overall, I still had a rather pleasant stay here(:

Stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Cairns—what a treat! Check-in kicked off with those legendary warm chocolate chip cookies—pure bliss after a long flight. Bedrooms were massive and super comfy, with all the space you need to unwind. Pool area's tropical vibes nailed the Aussie escape, and staff were friendly pros. 5/5, cookie alone worth the stay! 🍪🏖️

Love the room with the lake view. Cooking stove, refrigerator and kettle are provided. Good cooking pan to cook the steak. The amenities such as the pool is nice at night. However, the wifi does not work well. Happy with the stay.

This hotel is centrally located on the esplanade, and this is its main plus. In everything else, in my view, it loses out to the Hilton , to which I moved after a few days. My room smelled to the extent it made me feel unwell. The two swimming pools they boast are a joke. In the first glass pool, you are fully exhibited to everyone on the esplanade, which is why no one swims. In the second one you can't swim if there's anyone else in the pool, it's that narrow. The spa is a private massage joint. I was given a parking spot with no remote the first day, and allowed to park as an exception - their parking is too small to accomidate a hotel of this size. It has no ev charging. The breakfast is nowhere as good as the Hiltons. In any case I fixed all these problems by moving.
