Best Hotels 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.

Royal Pines was amazing! Free parking on-site, top notch customer service and there are swimming pools to relax in. We saw there was a gym, playground with a large bouncing mat for the kids and a water park next to the large hot tub. They offered is a discount for their buffet breakfast (discounted from $29 to $30pp). We stayed in the spa suite and our room had the most amazing views - this is a photo from the bathroom window. Maybe the windows need a bit of cleaning but apart from that we would not change a thing! Love how all the important information is explained clearly on the TV in the room. The room was massive with a safe, closet for hanging clothes, bar fridge, kettle, tea & coffee, couch, desk and an extra seating area near the foot of the bed. Our spa was very nice and blew some strong bubbles - remember to bring your shower gel/bubble bath. We have previously tried their restaurants, Videre (high tea) gives you a fabulous view of the landscape! The Japanese restaurant provides impeccable customer service and delicious carefully made dishes - loved everything we ordered.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent hotel! The standard room is not very large, but everything is there. The bed is comfortable, the bed linen is perfectly clean. Nice bathroom. The cleanliness is perfect! The breakfast is good - you definitely won't go hungry :) There is a tram stop nearby. Beach - 5 minutes walk.

So, we booked 18 nights in this 3.5 star resort and the from the photos it looked very reasonable for the price. However, this has been the worst place we have ever stayed in. 1. Room was not serviced for our entire stay, even though the resort policy is longer stays are serviced every 7th day. We have been responsible for laundering the sheets and towels ans buying our own toilet paper. 2. The room wasn't clean to start with, dust on most surfaces including the ceiling and curtains 3. Room in serious state of disrepair and looks like it hasn't seen a paint brush since it was built. 4. We booked a garden view room. Not much of a garden to view and only meters from the drive and carpark. The main contents of the garden are cigarette butts from the filthy pig living in the room above 5. We tried sitting on the patio for breakfast, however this was interrupted by ash and cigarette butts raining down from above. 6. The room has no personality, prison cells we've seen in movies look more appealing. 7. Mattress on the bed is stuffed and should have been replaced years ago. I definitely will never recommend this place as it seems the owners are more interested in collecting the money than making sure what they're offering is worth it

The room and views were amazing. Property very clean, spacious and overall lovely property. The only problem was a howling wind that rattled the sliding door that kept us awake all night. We put a pillow up against the glass door, we opened the glass door slightly, but nothing stopped the noise. We advised on check out and we were told ”sorry” that's it. No offer of a $50 discount- nothing. $1000 for 2 nights accommodation with one night without sleep....

Checking In was quick, lovely service at the front desk. Arriving in the room & was quite well presented, very comfortable beds. The room was serviced & cleaned daily, new towels & new sheets & ALL DAILY - was a big tick for my partner & I. Only small issue was I have OCD, so when the room was cleaned daily, I had noticed a fair few stray black hairs on the bedding & floors, cleaning myself up with the towels were a few black hairs on myself asking cleaning myself dry with the towels. But other than that, the stay was lovely!

We were placed here by our insurance company NRMA for temporary accommodation due to our home being flooded. We live in the Resort so we know the Peninsula townhouses are fairly modern maybe 4 -5 years old, however it is obvious that townhouse 16 (3 bedroom townhouse) has had very little done to it since being built. Aside from obvious maintenance issues that need to be addressed - torn carpet, walls damaged and marked, broken/ dirty stove exhaust, stained doonas and pillows which all should be regularly maintained and replaced if needed, it was the cleanliness of the place that we couldn't deal with - mould in the showers, built up scum on the shower rails, dirty glass/ windows/ blinds/ all the kitchen items I had to wash prior to using. All the light switches covered in dust from not being wiped over in a very long time -yuck. The skirtings I started cleaning with my cloths came up with black on them so have obviously not been done in months. I moved the downstairs furniture to sweep it all properly & found a paper towel roll and crumbs under the coffee table and lounges so obviously only gets vaccumed around the furniture, I made the ultimate mistake getting down on my hands and knees to look under the bed this morning to check nothing had been left behind- I wish I hadn't... I'll leave it at that, toilet brushes - obviously the original ones from 2018 - use your imagination. There was a dust pan but no broom, a mop but no bucket, no cleaning cloths, 2 x satchets of washing liquid and 2 satchets of dishwasher powder & 1 x tea towel, no cleaning spray, 3 forks, 3 cups, minimal crockey. So we had to go get all that stuff from home to clean the place enough and be able to cook so that we could at least deal with the few days we were there, the insurance co ended up extending our stay another week but we refused to stay, and said we would rather stay in a tent in the big 4 in the rain than spend another night in this filthy place. We let the managers know so they are aware of the issues, they came in yesterday and placed some more bowls and glassware and forks as there wasn't enough for the 5 of us....... that was it. We have been hotel hopping for the past 5 weeks this was the 4th place we have stayed in, it was the newest but by far the filthiest and worst maintained. We stayed in the Royal Woods Resort in Ashmore prior to this and although it is quite dated you could not fault the cleanliness of the place, we were in an AirBNB prior to that in Biggera Waters which was immaculate, and the Broadwater Shores in Runaway Bay prior to that which is quite dated but still very clean. There is no excuse for the managers/ owners to allow this townhouse to rent this as short term accommodation in the state that it is for the $$ they are charging, I'm only glad we didn't have to pay for it, if we had we would have left day one and demanded a refund. The owners need to spend some money and get it back up to an acceptable standard for a short term l
