Imperial Hotel Gold Coast
"The staff was very friendly and professional. The cost of the breakfast was a bit high, but the food was delicious. "
Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach
"I recently stayed at Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments with a group of friends. We had 2 units on the same floor and it couldn’t have worked out better. The views were fabulous, the apartments were modern, clean, nicely furnished and they had everything we needed. It was only a short walk to Tedder Avenue for dinner and the surf club the next day for lunch. We even managed a swim in the middle of winter, as the pool was heated. We had such a good time and will be back."
Sea World Resort
"Service is good as they meet our needs - getting milk, bath towels, strollers and luggage storage. This helps us to enjoy the Sea World park much much better"
Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast
"The hotel’s public areas are beautifully designed and well maintained, which initially gave a great impression. However, the room itself was quite outdated and lacked the comfort we expected. Unfortunately, the check-in process was frustrating — we waited over 20 minutes at reception, and the staff member was rather stern and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Check-out was similarly inefficient, even though we had filled out the express checkout form in advance. Overall, a disappointing experience considering the hotel’s potential."
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."
Pacific Views Resort
"I will not recommend this hotel. Our towels were not changed nor the hand towels and we stayed there for 5days. We were asked to buy milk and toilet papers if we needed more since only 1 pack of each was provided. Behind our bed and bedsides it was so dirty full of dusts. I’m allergic to dust so this was very hard for me. We paid more than $900 for 5 nights and the service we got was not expected. The location is prefect though and the parking space as well."
Bougainvillea Luxury Apartments
Sunbird Beach Resort Main Beach
"Good experience"
The Meriton on Main Beach
"Taking into account that we had those massive storms on the Gold Coast and that it appeared to be in the middle of an improvement with new beds. I was extremely disappointed that the air conditioning units, to put it bluntly, were filthy! The two units, even though they were good brands ( Panasonic) when checking the filters, looked as though they had not been cleaned for over 6 months. The filters were CLOGGED with dust and dirt, which made them highly unhealthy for the occupants staying there. The filters had the potential to harbour various air pollutants such as dust particles, pollen, odour, and even bacteria. If you have people allergic to any of these particles, then it’s certain that they have the potential to be affected. For instance, people with asthma or certain allergies might start experiencing difficulties staying in the apartment. Also, some of the bacteria that might make their way into your apartment might cause diseases. When the air filter is dirty, it means that it can’t sieve out the dust, pollen, and other particles from the air. Consequently, the quality of your indoor air is reduced. This means that the air being blown through the vents contains various dust particles and microorganisms that might be harmful to people in the apartment. I know this as I have sold a/c units for over 40 years. I have now retired."

Ocean Sands Resort
"Thhe apartment was very spacious, bigger than places we have stayed at before. It was clean and had all the modern appliances to make it very comfortable. Perfect location to shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back again!"
Contessa Holiday Apartments
"The apartment through airbnb is terrific and well equipped. Key pick up and drop off is 20 minutes drive away. Stayed for the Gold Coast 500. No instructions given about accessing the building during race time and accosted by the rudest building manager I have had the displeasure to meet. Calling us stupid people and yelling at us. Will not stay here again because of this experience."
Chidori Court
"Fabulous stay. Extremely well equipped apartment...even had weighing scales! 2 bed 2 bath and very spacious. Very comfortable and a real home from home. Helpful, friendly reception. Pleasant pool and BBQ area. Main Beach is a very upmarket area and Tedder Avenue is the main drag and literally minutes from the apartment, as is the beach in the other direction. It's about a 30 minute flat, paved walk along the beach path to Surfers Paradise. The location was perfect. It was relatively quiet although there is a major building project just down the road that looks like it will be ongoing for a while yet. However you don't expect to come to the Gold Coast without finding active building projects!! We would definitely stay here again if in the area."
