Hotels near Main Beach in Surfers Paradise

Wonderful bouji hotel with wonderful staff, but a bit tired with a lot of repairs needed. Breakfast was incredible and poolside lunch great value. Room was tired but beds comfy and great view. Indoor pool and sauna advertised has been closed for two years! And the outdoor pool is unheated due to a faulty pool heater again no plan to fix , it is easy to see why Versace is terminating the contract and removing branding . The outdoor pool with sand beach is a nice touch for families with kids Top tip visit the peters fish bar next door for a fab fresh fish and chip dinner , Shopping centre beside is also nice,

I sit and write this during a current stay far from impressed and wishing we had booked elsewhere! Whilst close to Seaworld itself it is otherwise completely off the beaten track and you need a car or to spend $$ on public transport (or to be content just staying at the resort for the duration of the stay). Other than the restaurants in the resort there are no other restaurants within east walking distance. An Uber to Broadbeach/Pacific Fair was $25 one way. There is a free shuttle to Pacific Fair bit for one of the scheduled departures it did not arrive today. The rooms are clean but basic and extremely noisy. Yes this is a family resort but I still think the noise is well beyond any other family resort I have stayed in of similar value. The bathrooms are dated despite being described in the ‘luxury escapes’ ad as stylish with pastel hues (pastel yes…stylish and/or modern definite no). There appears to be very little noise proofing between rooms. The ‘corridors’ are frequently adorned with used towels or used room service trays that the ‘bin chickens’ are having a go at and spreading the contents. Overall I would not recommend it for a stay.

The room and views were amazing. Property very clean, spacious and overall lovely property. The only problem was a howling wind that rattled the sliding door that kept us awake all night. We put a pillow up against the glass door, we opened the glass door slightly, but nothing stopped the noise. We advised on check out and we were told ”sorry” that's it. No offer of a $50 discount- nothing. $1000 for 2 nights accommodation with one night without sleep....

Very new and clean, The room is big and spacious, the environment is very elegant, there is a heated swimming pool, children's water slide°Like an independent small villa, will not interfere with each other. Very close to several parks, suitable for self-driving °

Only issue was car park. Site advised there was car parking on site however didn’t say it was $10 per night and needed to be booked extra.

Our family love staying here. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Location is amazing with beautiful views and walking paths/ parks e.g. Check in and out is easy with no dramas. We love the huge pull and spa this resort has to offer. We will always recommend staying here with family and children.

I stayed here about 2 weeks in early Jan. I got a bed next to a balcony in a 6 beds room which gave me little extra privacy. The room was cleaned fine throughout my stay. The bed was not large but comfortable with a nice mattress, light and power sockets. There is a bathroom for a toilet and a shower (not separated) for the room. So, I had to share it with 5 others when all beds were filled. Common area at the basement was pretty good for having nice furnitures. The kitchen and dining areas were cozy and spacious. You need $1 or $2 coins for laundry and dryer ($3 each). If you struggle to prepare coins, apparently there is a self-service laundry and cash dispenser nearby (I didn't try it though). Definitely confusing to find the reception for check-in. You need to walk through between The Island and a teppanyaki restaurant on Surfers Paradise Blvd.

I stayed here for 6 nights and can go honestly say it was the best hotel I’ve stayed in for a long time. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. My room was immaculate and everyday the room staff had a little teddy I had with me that my daughter gave me sitting on the bed between the pillows (it’s the little things like this that make a stay memorable and the guest feel welcome). I had dinner one night in the restaurant and again the 2 ladies working were so friendly and professional and the gnocchi was fabulously fresh and tasty. I I’ll be recommending the Elite to friends and family.

Room was spacious, clean and seems new. Love the carpark which links straight to lobby. They were very nice and gave us a sweet message and treat as my husband and I were on our honeymoon trip. Downside was on the security deposit. They charge it to my card and refunded only after a few days. If it is a hold amount, there should not be any charges. If they charged the amount, the refund should be immediate on the same day. We booked assessable room which was for the handicap. The doors are automated etc. The reception said they were unable to reach me by phone call and they couldn't email me because I booked via third party vendor. It would have been better if they can contact via email which they chose not to. This is something which they could have improved and definitely will improve our stay experience. Other than this, everything else was great! Note: When we drove to Mantra, right in front of the hotel was a cemetery. Just in case anyone superstitious, this info may be helpful.

Booked at Tiki appartments for a family holiday and proposal. We booked the one bedroom apartment with a sofa bed as we had 4 of us staying. Apon arrival we expected a fresh and clean room with two beds set up for the 4 of us. Unfortunately it was NOT. We found that the sofa bed was still set up as a couch and no bedding to be found. We also noticed how dirty the room was from hand prints and splatter marks on all the mirrors to mold and dirt on on the floors, walls and bath. Also dead moths lying around on window seals. (Photos attached) After our 2nd night staying, we hadn’t received a room clean. We asked at reception and was told that they only service the rooms if we request it. We requested a clean for the next day but apon arrival the next evening found the room as we had left it. After another attempt of requesting a room sevice the next day we got one. From the 3rd - 6th day of staying 2 of us got quite sick and unfortunately put it down to how unhygienic the rooms were. - Hair dryer was faulty and didn’t work. - Fans only worked on the highest settings. - TV’s didn’t work. ( fixed after someone looked at it.) - Brocken switches everywhere. - Everything was dirty and sticky. -Views gorgeous. - Location perfect. -Pool & Spa perfect. This hotel needs a priority overhaul with maintenance and housekeeping to lift there game. If it wasn’t for the amazing night receptionist Sharna that did everything in her power to make our stay the best possible we would have gone elsewhere. Higher management please fix theses problems, all the reviews are the same over and over again.
