Imperial Hotel Gold Coast ★★★★★

"Great atmosphere staff so helpful and attentive. Food was lovely great coffee."

Sea World Resort ★★★★

"The room is huge! The bed is also very large! One bed can easily fit one adult and one child. The water park inside the hotel is so much fun! Highly recommend for families traveling with children to Gold Coast!"

Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach ★★★★

"Michael was very accommodating. We found this online and after some discussion made the drive and we were very happy with what was on offer. This was a last minute stay for 7 nights due to having previous accomodation issues which we cancelled due to it being terrible. Fantastic location, great views, clean tidy, great pool area with spa and cooking facility."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast ★★★★★

"This hotel probably had a glorious past, but now it feels like it's faded, except for its private beach. The shopping mall across the street is practically deserted, with many stores closed. It's located a bit far in, closer to Sea World. There isn't even free bottled water in the room; you have to buy their eco-friendly cup to get water from the hallway. We were given a room in an annex, far from the main area, with an incredibly long corridor that seemed endless. It took at least 10 minutes to walk from our room to the lobby every day. The room's facilities looked very old, and the shower faucet in the bathroom was rusted. There was only a bathtub, no separate shower space. The room we got also had a connecting inner door. The most ridiculous thing was when we returned one afternoon and ran into a cleaning staff member, a man who looked South American. He seemed very unhappy to see us and didn't greet us at all. When he turned on the vacuum cleaner, he rudely vacuumed aggressively towards my feet. All the hotel staff seemed aloof; they wouldn't even greet you when you encountered them. Only the staff in the breakfast restaurant were okay, but breakfast was mostly Western-style with limited options. I don't feel it was worth the price."

Maldives Resort Main Beach, Gold Coast ★★★

"The overall experience wasn’t enjoyable. The room was extremely dusty, dirty and was not cleaned to the standards expected. The bathroom sink was clogged, dirty walls, kitchen cutlery and plates dirty. Construction was going on in front of the building and it was extremely noisy, couldn’t sit out on the balcony. View was probably the only positive about my 4 night stay. Wouldn’t recommend this place."

The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★

"We had a fantastic stay. The standout feature was the view—it was absolutely incredible, with an almost 180-degree panoramic outlook over the ocean. We would honestly come back just for the view alone. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had some thoughtful touches, including a Nespresso machine and milk left in the fridge for our arrival, which we really appreciated. The beach is right out the front and is beautiful and supervised. It's about a 20-minute walk to Surfers Paradise, but we actually preferred Main Beach. It's quieter, feels more prestigious, and is just as walkable with nicer places to eat. The staff were excellent—very friendly, responsive, and happy to share helpful local tips. One thing to note is that if you're arriving on a Sunday, you'll need to arrange check-in in advance, as there's no one at the front desk. However, the communication was pretty responsive and well organized that this wasn't a problem at all. Overall, we highly recommend this property. It's a wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return, especially for those unforgettable views."

The Meriton on Main Beach ★★★★

"We had some pluses and minuses on our stay. The building is well located but can be quite noisy at night as it is near the shops. Be aware there is a lot of construction nearby and this can be very noisy! The unit itself is well appointed, the bed comfortable but overall the cleaning is not great and some utensils were ready for the bin. A lot could be done to improve this property."

Pacific Views Resort ★★★★

"The view from the room is amazing, the kitchen is fully equipped with four gas burners, which is great."

Bougainvillea Luxury Apartments ★★★★
