Top Main Beach Hotel Reviews

Novotel Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great and we had an ocean view for a reasonable price. The brekkie was very good and included in our booking. They didn’t clean the rooms regularly and even when they did they only changed towels, didn’t clean floors or the beds. "

Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel proudly boasts a prime location, nestled among a delightful array of restaurants, each hiding its own culinary treasures that burst with flavor. Upon check-in, I encountered a firm enforcement of the 3 PM arrival time; however, I was graciously granted access to the lounge, providing a comfortable retreat while I awaited my room. The panoramic room I reserved was not only spacious but also unveiled breathtaking views of the beach, which truly elevated my stay to new heights. The executive lounge brimmed with a cozy ambiance, although it did feel somewhat snug. I can easily envision them opening the patio during the warmer months to accommodate more guests and enhance the experience further. I appreciated the thoughtful layout, featuring two distinct seating areas that fostered warmth and intimacy during the winter season. Although the quality of the food varied on certain evenings, the lounge ambassadors, especially Connor, were incredibly warm and attentive, making each encounter a pleasure. The breakfast buffet at Catch was nothing short of exceptional! For those who thrive on a high-protein diet, the abundant selection will be a delightful feast. The fitness center, while fairly standard, effectively met my needs without ever feeling overcrowded. Overall, I would eagerly return to this hotel, though I would remain mindful of the costs in comparison to other properties that might offer more contemporary amenities."

Sea World Resort

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic stay! I was worried about staying in a hotel room with all my family, but we did not even notice. Rooms were quiet, clean, comfortable beds. The fact you get access to SeaWorld as many times as you want, was amazing. It was not far to places. The staff were fantastic. All lovely especially the buffet breakfast staff. Even though there was a bit of a wait to get in there, the staff handled it all very well. Great place to stay! Would definitely recommend! "
