Sea World Resort Gold CoastSea World Resort (formerly Sea World Nara Gold Coast) Excellent For Families & Couples Sea World Resort Links
The resort at Sea World in the Gold Coast is excellent for families and couples. It is a large 4½ star resort that was refurbished and renamed in 2008. It is the ultimate choice for Sea World accommodation, you cannot get any closer to the theme park! To my knowledge this is the only theme park resort in Australia. SeaWorld Nara Gold Coast was an icon, back in the day and went through a period where it was a bit faded. However, from 2008 onwards a series of refurbishment and updates have brought this resort back to its 4½ star status. And in 2011, a new association with Nickelodeon has brought some more interesting redevelopments. For example resort guests can meet SpongeBob and Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants as well as Dora, Boots and Diego from Dora the Explorer each morning in the resort lobby. The kids will love the chance to pose for photos with favourite characters! In addition, the pool area was upgraded with a SpongeBob SplashBash! These new family friendly features certainly have increased its appeal. Sea World Resort Gold Coast is excellent for families and couples looking for a resort style holiday.
You can often pick up great Sea World package deals and there are perks for guests only which make it worth considering, especially if you have children with you. Sea World Gold Coast Resort FacilitiesThe Sea World resort facilities include:
The Sea World Resort hotel services include what you would expect in a 4½ star resort. Some of the notable ones I have listed below...
Why Stay at Sea World Resort?Sea World Resort is the only Gold Coast family resort in Main Beach. There are other resorts in the nearby area (Sheraton Mirage and Palazzo Versace), but I would consider them for more grown up tastes than this resort. The resort located at the northern end of Sea World has what I consider to be real resort facilities, plus the added bonus of being right next door to the theme park! If you are
only going to be in the Gold Coast for a couple of days, it is an
excellent base away from the hustle, bustle and noise of
Surfers
Paradise, yet close enough to nip in and enjoy it. Kids ZonesPart of the 2008 refurbishment was the fabulous waterplay area which is modelled upon Buccanneer Bay at Wet 'n' Wild Water Park (also in the Gold Coast). In 2009 the old Sea World Water Park was upgraded and absorbed into the resort for use by resort guests. And in 2011, there is a touch of Nickelodeon in the air with SpongeBob SplashBash! These two water play areas combine to be a fantastic drawcard for the resort. Parents, meanwhile, can enjoy a dry seat in the adjacent Waterfall Cafe. Bliss! This is
one of
the things that makes this resort really family friendly. I didn't really forget the Kid's Club! This is an integral part of why it is a great family holiday. Parents can enjoy a bit of me time at night between 5.30 and 9.00pm. Whilst the children can enjoy a there is a supervised dinner session. You can enjoy dinner or take in some sights in
the
Gold Coast and the kids can enjoy their dinner with some new found
friends plus some entertainment. The Kids Club is for children aged
between 4½ and 12 years. Sea World Resort PerksThere are some perks for staying at Sea World Resort! Firstly Sea World is right on your door step and secondly you can enjoy a resort guest only tour of Sea World before the park opens which includes getting in the water and feeding the Sea World dolphins!In the past, it was Sesame Street characters, but since late 2011, every morning at 8.30am you can meet your Nickelodeon friends SpongeBob and Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants along with Dora, Boots and Diego from Dora the Explorer in lobby. This is such a drawcard for the kids who will love pose for photos with Dora, Boots, Diego, SpongeBob and Patrick! Yet another perk for families! Local RestaurantsThe restaurants in the resort all seem to cater for family dining. There are several options including:
For fine dining you are just a short drive to Vanitas Restaurant at Palazzo Versace, or the restaurants and cafes at Marina Mirage and the less formal Mariners Cove. Tedder Avenue is about 5 minutes by car and central Surfers only another couple of minutes. Back To Top Sea World PackagesThe resort often has specials and packages. Sea World Resort packages are variable, but you can often find deals that include entry to Sea World and/or the other theme parks and attractions in the Gold Coast Sea World family. The other parks and attractions include:
Sea World Resort Not What You Are Looking For?Sea World Resort is located on the Spit just north of the main part of Main Beach. It is about 4kms north of Surfers Paradise. Southport and Labrador are within a 10 minute drive and Broadbeach takes just over 10 minutes by car. All of these areas have plenty of accommodation to choose from with a range of styles and prices.Looking for more than 4½ stars? Try these:
