Great staff, fantastic price, nice refreshed rooms.

Wonderful resort for kids. Breakfast buffet was lovely. The long lines in the morning to get to breakfast is a bit of a negative.
Rooms clean and tidy.
We had an awesome time.
Overall great place to stay if you are visiting the Gold Coast. We went during Christmas in July period where there were extra activities for kids and a special dinner buffet: which is a must try. Breakfast offering was abundant and resort appears to be well equipped for a family of 4. Even though our room included free entry into 4 theme parks, the kids would have been happy to stay at the resort all day and play in the pool. Only negative would be resort is showing its age and in need of some renovations. Most importantly the kids had a great time and said they would be happy to return.
My experience was so grateful at the property, from check in to check out everything was great. Sabreen and Zhar served me in very polite way, and helped me with everything i need from slippers,dentalkit,birthday present and wine glasses. Overall, i will rate 5/5 stars and will highly reccomend it for its ambience at competitive price.
Had a 3 night stay here- great value for money especially if you can get the theme park tickets and breakfast included. Breakfast was busy but as we got there early we never had to wait. Stayed on the first floor in the park wing and it was great being able to walk straight out to the pool. We had dinner one night at Melrose and another at the Lobby Lounge bar- food was great in both places especially the Nutella pizza from Melrose. Would stay again! Just be aware that due to current tram line works- the trip to the airport can take well over an hr.
