"The location for the Australian sports centre is the main reason to stay here. The hotel itself is clean but had a pool and that's it. The restaurant is only open for breakfast. We tried it twice at two different times, 8am and 9am. Always the buffet breakfast was cold and nothing left with nothing new being cooked. They're supposed to be serving from 6 to 10. The KDV club is about a 2 min walk away and that's where you can play complimentary mini golf and tennis. The complex is really good and the food there is worth the walk. The sports and leisure centre is a 7min walk away and that is what gets the place it's good rating. If you're here to compete in a sporting event it is super convenient to just walk there and back or a quick uber. And the rooms although small are well maintained."

"We really enjoyed the location. The resort was beautiful and right on the water. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Overall a really lovely stay. The rooms are a bit older but they were clean and a bit larger than a standard room. The bathtub was gigantic which was really fun for the kids. Close to Sea World and a short drive to shopping. Highly recommend"

"My partner and I spent our anniversary weekend here along with other typical Gold Coast adventures. The room was lovely, tidy and clean, the staff were all friendly and helpful. The only thing was we weren’t sure on how power worked (you need a second card) and after being asked if we’d stayed there before and said no, we had no idea so we weren’t sure. Otherwise check in was smooth and everyone was lovely at front desk. Parking is opposite the hotel and honestly rather affordable for multiple entry/exit (if you’re wanting to drive around) but it’s not a far walk nor a hard walk. Our beach view was slightly obstructed, however we got a lovely view regardless of the beach, city and hinterland because we were on the 24th floor but laying in bed and sitting on the balcony we had a wonderful view. We had a lovely time regardless and we’d love to be back as soon as possible. Thank you for helping us make our anniversary trip wonderful :)"
