Top Carrara Hotel Reviews

Dorsett Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, we will be back! "

Meriton Suites Broadbeach, Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly consistent place to stay which never fails to disappoint in terms of location, service, price and amenities. Easy walking distance to everything you need, well appointed rooms, friendly and knowledgeable staff and plenty of pool space for kids. Would recommend to anyone!"

Novotel Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very efficient, front desk staff were very professional. When we got to the room, the staff knocked with a happy birthday cupcake. The room was clean and had a great view. Close and convenient to all shops, bars, restaurants and beach. Swimming pool, gym and laundry facilities at a small cost. Pool towels provided."

Sea World Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location: The resort is conveniently connected to the seaworld theme park, and it's very easy to get in and out. It is a half hour-ish drive to other theme parks, about 10mins to Australia fair mall and Broadwater parklands. Parking was okay for the most part but we were here in the low-period so it'll be chaos when it's busier. Facilities: The water play area was great and a big hit for my two toddlers. I used the gym and the spa which were good but nothing to get excited about. Lots of activities available for children and regular appearances by exciting cartoon friends. Food: The breakfast was lovely, there were plenty of options. We also tried the midwinter Christmas buffet and it was delicious. Unfortunately didn't get around to trying the Japanese, and the pasta restaurant was just okay. Room: just a basic room, nothing to complain about or get excited about. It was clean and comfortable, and we had enough space to spread out. Conclusion: one of the best places we've travelled to specifically for our kids. Will definitely recommend to young families. Every staff member we interacted with was absolutely lovely, helpful and friendly. "

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Stay in a 2-bedroom Ocean suite with elderly parents. We chose the location for its proximity to shops so that they can relax and enjoy. They loved watching the sunrise from their bedroom. Staff allowed us to check in early at 2pm instead of the 3 pm. Would stay again for convenience and location."
