Novotel Surfers Paradise
There was a mixup with our room but the staff handled it exceptionally well. The renovation is nice but there are some design floors which means the showers always flood. I wouldn’t bother with this hotel again except that the staff are so amazing.

The pools and games room were the stand out as well as location. Room was dated and not ‘deluxe’ as per our booking… toilet struggled to flush and bath seemed to take ages for water to drain away

Meriton Suites Broadbeach, Gold Coast
Excellent location and great amenities within the room. Just would have been better if there were on-site food services eg a breakfast room, but overall great place to stay.
