Awards: Australia's Best Family Resort for 12 consecutive years
Location: 2-minute walk to the tram stop, 5 minutes to the beach
“This Gold Coast resort dedicates itself to families, earning consistent recognition as Australia's Best Family Resort. I found the waterpark and supervised Kids Club particularly appealing, while its location close to Surfers Paradise Beach adds extra convenience, however, recent reviews reveal concerning security issues that prospective guests should consider.”
