Hotels near Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre in Carrara

Great resort !! My partner and I had a lovely time and enjoyed using the pool and spa while weather permitted. Staff were incredibly kind and accomodating throughout our stay.

I stayed here for 6 nights and can go honestly say it was the best hotel I’ve stayed in for a long time. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. My room was immaculate and everyday the room staff had a little teddy I had with me that my daughter gave me sitting on the bed between the pillows (it’s the little things like this that make a stay memorable and the guest feel welcome). I had dinner one night in the restaurant and again the 2 ladies working were so friendly and professional and the gnocchi was fabulously fresh and tasty. I I’ll be recommending the Elite to friends and family.

Exceeded my expectations. A fantastic resort that was walking distance to Heritage Stadium, where we went to see an AFL game. We had a King Spa room, it was spectacular. The Japanese restaurant at the resort was brilliant. The buffet breakfast was the best I’ve ever had and the staff at the resort were friendly and welcoming. What a wonderful experience and weekend away!! I could not more highly recommend a stay at this resort. A perfect weekend away!

My family and I stayed here in September and was as wonderful as it looked like in the advertising. 3 large spacious , heated pools and spa , kids club, playground, jumping pillow, pedal bikes, outdoor movies and bistro. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We had the Pandanus Villa and it was modern, spacious and quiet. We got the special deal which included meals and some drinks and free use of the kids club and equipment which was amazing value. Location wise its off the beach and on a busy road but dont let that put you off. Very quiet and 20 minute walk to The Spit and Broadwater and Parklands. Harbour Town is right across the road for all your shopping needs and extra dining. Brillantly located for theme parks with just a 10 minute drive to them. Bus right out the front which connects with the tram in Southport. I cant fault this place at all. We will definitely be back.

Stayed for 6 nights. View was nice and location was excellent, light rail was right next to hotel. Breakfast was great as well. But housekeeping was inefficient, had to call twice or even three times to get extra amenities like towels or toothbrushes to get delivered. Overall nice stay though

I love the villa style accommodation, it suits our family’s needs. To have the kitchen facilities it helps if you just want to eat in for dinner and make breakfast daily. The kids loved the pool and the playground.

The hotel is in the heart of Surfers Paradise, many restaurants nearby and just 5 min walking to the beach. The room is spacious and the bathroom is really nice and clean! Also the pool is very nice! The facility of parking the car just paying 25 aud per 24h in and out whenever you want is a plus. I highly recommend this hotel.

As an ex local, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Clean, modern, easy check in and good buffet breakfast. Comfortable bed and pillows. I’d definitely recommend and stay again. Been to the bistro many times but not recently, the food was good. Easy app ordering.

This hotel is in a great location and allows you to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the Gold Coast. It is also easily accessible from the Cypress Avenue tram station. There is a coin laundry so you can wash your clothes. The only amenities were two soaps and a small shampoo, so if you're staying for multiple nights, it might be a good idea to prepare a toothbrush, comb, shampoo, etc.

After booking a room for 1 night initially, we made a booking for an additional night both via Expedia. The recent reviews on here had me worried as they were much more positive when I made and paid for the booking. Parking - currently free but the hotel provide no detailed instructions on booking etc so I can see why people get frustrated. Thankfully a review on here gave us some tips to make our arrival smooth. I would recommend parking in tower 1 on levels 3, 3M or 4. These floors provide direct lift access to the hotel. Look for gold lifts - these indicate your attached to the hotel. Check in - the girl checking us on (Sara I think) was nice but the hotels booking system didn’t link that there were 2 separate bookings for the same person. The hotel didn’t offer us the lower standard room for the 2 nights so that we didn’t have to move. We opted to pay an additional $60 to stay in the better room for the 2 nights. Pool - is as nice as the photos although some of the cabana cushions are filthy. It is mildly heated and there were no towels, only the ones provided in your room. After house keeping we had 2 taken and only 1 replaced which made it hard to use the pool again. Food - we used Uber eats one night and ate at Harvest Buffet in the ****** on the other. The Harvest Buffet was good. We didn’t eat breakfasts at the hotel. Room - the lounge needs to go, there is no room for it and an additional luggage rack would be more practical as storage is lacking. The room would benefit from a spare pillow and blanket like nearly every other hotel we have stayed in. There are no robes or slippers provided. Gym - the gym was ok however the cable machine was broken, there were no kettlebells or spin bike. Access is via the ****** and in to another lift. Check out - we didn’t bother returning to reception, at 8am we were woken by a drill in the adjoining room/wall to us. Very unpleasant when you have an 11am check out. If we were told about the short maintenance work we wouldn’t have minded but we expect more of a hotel that is part of the Star. Would we stay again? No, it’s not the level we have come to expect as guests of the Star in Sydney.
