Sea World Resort
The room was very comfortable for my sister and her two grandsons. It had a balcony with a beautiful view of gardens. The boys loved the pool and resort facilities and enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast with their now favourite Nanna! Its close proximity to Sea World was a bonus as it made life ...

Imperial Hotel Gold Coast
All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and with plenty of spots. Room was lovely and quiet with a great marina view. Only downside (for a while) is that the neighbouring Marina Mirage is being demolished - so not many eating spots left unfortunately.
