"A fun place for younger children, plenty of activities and fun atmosphere with a touch of fantasy. Clean and tidy rooms with a decent sized balcony lover looking lush greenery. The beds were comfortable, a nice big tv in the main area. My 14 yr old daughter and her friends found it too busy / noisy / crowded and too far to walk to the heart of Surfers !! Approximately 15 minute walk on a busy stretch of road to Cavill Avenue. Approximately 3 minute walk to Surfers Paradise North light rail stop. Approximately 8 minute walk to the beach. They have pretty good coffee !!!!!!!"
