Hotels near Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre in Carrara

Great resort !! My partner and I had a lovely time and enjoyed using the pool and spa while weather permitted. Staff were incredibly kind and accomodating throughout our stay.

As an ex local, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Clean, modern, easy check in and good buffet breakfast. Comfortable bed and pillows. I’d definitely recommend and stay again. Been to the bistro many times but not recently, the food was good. Easy app ordering.

When you go to this hotel, remember its age and be fair with your expectations. Unfortunately, I was encouraged to read other reviews so had a preconception on arrival. Driveway is a bit tight but fair and direct, front desk easy to find and approach, car park still joins the building maybe a little hard to carry luggage through to lift, suggest leave with someone when checking in while you park your car. Lifts quite fast, corridors don't smell, entry clean and tidy to room. Yes, room isn't brand new but an attempt to paint and make clean is visible, couple chips here and there, but whatever, balcony and view is great, we were on the 20th floor, lacking a few creature comforts, but it is a hotel room! bathroom bit dated, but clean, couple wear and tear things, but again think how much you are paying. All in all, a pleasant stay, so go and be open minded, plenty of 5–6-star establishments around if you want top end places.

Just stayed at Sky Island Studios to celebrate my birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. I was met by Jessica upon arrival, who made both myself and my wife feel very welcome. The cake in the fridge and message on blackboard was a delight! The cabins are beautiful - was wonderful to wake up to the sounds of birds while watching sunrise in the morning. Breakfast on the deck was spectacular - and the banana choc smoothie was just the right way to start the day! Huge thanks to Jessica and Albert for their hospitality and look forward to visiting again.

Very convenient place to stay when on the coast. Not far to beaches but in a nice quiet location and with nice rooms. We only had a basic room as this is all we wanted. Staff very friendly. close to train station and football stadium and close to shops and restaurants.

I was one of the attendees for FurDU 2023 at the Crowne Plaza Gold Coast (11 - 15 May 2023), and I was very pleasantly surprised about my time at the hotel itself. Once I got to the hotel, I went to reception, took a little while to check in, the staff were very friendly and quite helpful. They explained to me some of the key features of the hotel itself, also the fact that I was one of their club members or something, and that I had free internet throughout my stay - which was a bonus - hardly ever used it though. As I walked back to the lift I checked my room number - which had a bit of significance with myself (give you a clue: the angelic number). To get to your floor, just simply tap the card on the scanner, then press the floor, only took a matter of seconds before I reached mine, and not long before I had finally let myself into my room. The room itself was absolutely beautiful, as I placed my bags down I took a quick tour of the room to see what amenities I had. The bathroom was quite spacious, a rather large shower and plenty of towels etc (which came in handy). As I'd spent a long trip getting up to the hotel I was a bit on the sweaty side, so I got a quick change of clothes, had a quick shower (make sure the door clicks all the way in - otherwise you'll end up flooding the bathroom floor which is what I ALMOST did). (There's so much positive stuff to write about the hotel - so I'll keep it short) The bed itself, quite spacious, the pillows themselves were plenty enough, I found that I got a good night's sleep, and in the morning went down had some breakfast - a great selection to choose from, be it from hot food, to pastries, cereal and even fruit and yoghurt. Relish (the restaurant) takes care of breakfast in the morning, plenty of space to sit, have as much as you want to eat for breakfast and get out again. Dinners were absolutely amazing, same spot, the staff were quite friendly, very quick to take my order (had the chicken parmi one night, the burger the next), and a beer or two to drink. The next night I went to the restaurant - I pretty much got the same spot where I sat last time, the wait staff even remembered what kind of beer I had from the night before ... now THAT'S impressive, also one aspect about service that I really enjoyed. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with the Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise, so much so I honestly cannot wait to return next year to experience it all over again .. In all honesty there's nothing at all I can fault the hotel for .. a full 5 * review from all aspects of the hotel, the staff, the food and beverage and everything they've got to offer. So, if you're looking for a place to stay, be it for a short trip away, or a longer vacation, depends on what you're doing, be it visiting the theme parks or the local attractions, I would, without hesitation, highly recommend your stay at the Crowne Plaza Surfer's Paradise, try and get a room with a high floor facing the beach as the views

The hotel is at a great location, just a few minutes walk away from surfers paradise. It is also located right next to a tram stop which is super convenient. The hotel room and toilet was quite clean, the only issue is some stains on the curtains and carpets.

Great location, pool has a bar and table service, staff were friendly and accommodating. Wasn't advised that parking needed to be pre-booked so we weren't able to get a carpark at the hotel. Luckily Chevron Renaissance has affordable parking and is only across the road (best parking rates are available for when you enter after 12pm).

Stayed for 6 nights. View was nice and location was excellent, light rail was right next to hotel. Breakfast was great as well. But housekeeping was inefficient, had to call twice or even three times to get extra amenities like towels or toothbrushes to get delivered. Overall nice stay though

This hotel is in a great location and allows you to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the Gold Coast. It is also easily accessible from the Cypress Avenue tram station. There is a coin laundry so you can wash your clothes. The only amenities were two soaps and a small shampoo, so if you're staying for multiple nights, it might be a good idea to prepare a toothbrush, comb, shampoo, etc.
