Best Surfers Paradise Hotels

Surfers Paradise Hotels and Resorts

I define hotels and resorts as having all or some hotel style rooms not just apartments and having hotel style facilities. I have only listed hotels and resorts here. Other options for accommodation in the area include Surfers Paradise apartments.

Room types gives you a rough idea of the types of accommodation available. The ratings also give you an idea, but are subject to change and review - so please check with a ratings agency such as AAA Tourism.

For me a measure of a hotel is room service, it sort of sets apartments and hotels apart! So I have included this detail as it might be something important to you, I know it is for me!

Surfers Paradise Apartments

Another main difference between hotels and apartments is the room servicing. Hotels generally service your room daily, whilst in apartments you will have to pay extra for daily servicing unless it is stated in the booking information. Mostly apartment servicing is weekly.

I try my best to ensure that my information is accurate by doing my own research - but things do change! Let me know if you find anything and I will check it and fix up!

3½ Star Surfers Paradise Hotels
Paradise Resort Gold Coast More Info and rates	Hotel Connecting 1 bedroom	3½	No	Formerly known as The Mercure Resort. Located on the Gold Coast Hwy close to the heart of Surfers and about a 5 minute walk to the ocean beach. They have a policy of heating the pools once the water temperature falls below 26c, which let me assure you is FANTASTIC - if you are travelling with kids who want to swim and play in the pools. Also a kids club for toddlers through to 12 year olds. This is a great resort for a family holiday that doesn't cost the earth! And often has great specials. All rooms have balconies and airconditioning. Currently, a low rise (4 storey building), but a new high rise tower is being built in 2008 to upgrade this resort.
