Paradise Resort Gold Coast

Had a great time with the kids over the long weekend

Easy check in. Lots of kids activities. Staff were very friendly. The hotel inside was really run down thou. The balcony flooded from the air con being on and no ventilation in the bathroom. Lots of patched up areas too. Everything else was good and it’s close to lots of shops and restaurants.

Excellent hotel for families. We had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly and helpful. Easy to walk or catch the tram to surfers paradise. The rooms were great, a little worn, but comfortable and the aircon works great. You spend hardly any time in your room anyway. I would recommend spending as much time at the hotel as you can as the kids will get a lot out of the facilities, the activities and the opportunity to make friends.

This hotel is a good place to stay for the kids with all the activities and facilities for them to use. We stayed for 3 nights and it was fine, but by no means luxurious. The resort is in need of a major renovation, the age of it really shows. The rooms were basic, and clean. Food prices were quite high for what you got but could also just be what things cost now (e.g. $25 for a basic continental breakfast buffet with additional fees for hot food, could not take things from the buffet yourself, had to ask the staff behind the counter for each slice of bread - I get why they do it to prevent kids from touching all the food, but its also a bit annoying). Cocktails were around the $22 mark. While they have QR codes around the pool area to order, you have to get up to pick up food and drinks from the cafe (they send you a text message). All that said, the kids enjoyed themselves and thats who this resort caters to. However it's not particularly pram friendly without having to walk all around the place. I would say everything was okay, not bad but also not great.

Excellent resort. Kids absolutely loved it. Resort needs update. Rooms and halls are old. Bad smell in bathroom… Everything else was just awesome!

.

Great atmosphere and maybe a bigger spa lol... Overall, the kids and I enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to others, that may need some travel ideas.

Kids loved it although the adults not so much. Dinner was disappointing in the sit down restaurant.

The rooms are very outdated & overpriced!

Ongoing renovations for adult area that seem to never be completed.

This place is terrific for families

It's not often you go on holiday and you want wait to go home... This was that kind of holiday. Between the expensive and terrible food, to the noisy kids everywhere and the facilities all being small, cramped and jammed full of people, I'm finding it hard to think of what was good about it. The room was SO uncomfortable, I had woken up both nights in the middle of the night so hot because our room did not have aircon or a window that opens more than a few centimeters, but the kids room did. After 1 day, the lift stopped working, so that made checking out interesting. We had to cart all the stuff down the stairs. The pillows were SO uncomfortable, I had a stiff neck all holiday. Then the facilities was often closed for whatever reason (the kids can't play basketball when they have kids club on or the water slides will randomly be closed for no reason). The whole place is run down and you pay extra to do any activitity like ice skating or kids club. Don't even consider the place if your kids are older than 8 as it is too boring for older kids. Make sure your room has aircon and byo pillow. Last but not least, I paid $20 a night to park our car at the resort, only to not have space in the car park, so we had to park a block away from the facility. The staff was helpful and friendly, especially room service. That's the only positive I can think of. Definitely don't waste your time or money on this decapitated place. There are some better family friendly options down the coast.

Staff were good, there was a guy serving breakfast that was amazing, wish I grabbed his name. Toilet didn’t work

a lovely hotel especially if you with kids

We liked the hotel but there is a lot of stuff they said they had but weren’t available. We only used the water park because the ice skating wasn’t available, the kids club was not on and too expensive. There wasn’t any lazer games and there was no free kids games room everything had to be money.

The best place to stay for families. Always an activity to keep the kids entertained and plenty of pools/water slides to play. The staff are amazing and the food is beautiful

This property is clearly outdated. It charges similar price as nearby high rise hotel. Clearly it needs renovations.

Great place for kids to keep them entertained

Family friendly

Great entertainment for kids. Old rooms still a bit dated (90’s feel). New rooms are great. Staff not very engaging. Would have like simple salad sandwich or wrap on the restaurant lunch menu. Had to pay for all the extra kids activities, fair enough, but they were pricy. Otherwise, a good experience.
