We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit for 6 nights. The fan in one bedroom was missing it's regulator so we had to struggle to turn it on. Repeated requests to fix it went unheeded. No doubt the night before we left, maintenance walked in at 8:00 pm saying that the room was supposed to be empty & that they were told to fix the broken A/C!! Quite a regular mixup by reception as they had the room number wrong on our breakfast vouchers as well.
They also gave us the wrong brochure for the complimentary Sunset cruise at check in so that when we actually went for the cruise, we were told that there was no booking for us. The tour desk operator told us that we were at the wrong place/cruise & only a last second booking by the tour desk operator managed to get us onto this 'wrong' cruise. Breakfast fruits had insects sitting on it every morning as it was not covered.
Beds were too saggy & could feel the springs. Hotel checkout procedure does not work if you use the secure parking.
Beach at surfer's paradise really good with soft powdery sand and plenty of lifeguards till late. The place is generally clean and nice to walk around. Takeaway food is definitely of a inferior quality & preparation than actually dining in at the 'legends chinese restaurant'. Really surprised at the difference. The Indian food at 'bollywood at surfers' all tastes the same and they heat up frozen parathas for their rotis.
Very ordinary and overpriced. The arabian restaurant next to it has better food. For a first time visitor to Queensland, the exit numbers on the motorway confused us as they are not exactly sequential with a few numbers missing. The queenslanders probably know about it, but it does not help out of towners like us. A lot of the signals take too long to change resulting in traffic jams stretching 3-4 signals behind.
Same thing happens while walking as you can end up spending more time waiting at a signal crossing than acutally walking.
Book Paradise Island Resort - Family Fun Resort, or Surfers Paradise - Main Beach Accommodation and Hotels.
