Mermaid Beach|0.76km from city center
A great place for family fun, especially with younger kids. The big water slide pool was under maintenance during our stay so we were restricted to a single slide pool which was still fun but got very busy at times. We weren't told of the shutdown of the bigger water slide pool. Some activities are charged separately to the hotel booking which added unexpected expense. The room was nice with facilities typically found in apartments. There was no room cleaning or restocking of toiletries etc. You could purchase additional stock at the main desk or buy elsewhere. It is a huge complex and despite maps and directions from staff, was difficult to find your way to facilities at the other end of the complex due to the maze of walkways and lack of signage. In our case, we did not locate the cafe or kids play ground and cinema which were apparently located at the other end of the complex. The gardens are nice and well maintained and staff were pleasant. Overall we enjoyed our stay.FromUS$225

The location is 5 minutes walk from the beach, very convenient. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The environment of the hotel is very elegant. We stayed in the middle of the night. We should temporarily cancel another reservation. I quickly found the Mermaid Hotel on Ctrip.com. Price, location, service, environment, sanitation are all good. It is worth recommending, Ctrip travel online booking is also cheap and fast.FromUS$101

Really enjoyed my stay. Francs JR pizza is a short walk and an excellent place. Motel is just 5min walk to the beach, amazing sunrises. The rooms come well equipped with kitchen utensils including toaster kettle, cutlery - all are Clean.
Air Con/Heating works great. Shower works well and pumps out hot water when needed. The rooms and bathroom are well. Reception only operates between 2pm and 5pm but there are early check in and late check out boxes. They notifiy you via your booking agency or email how to check in out of hours. There is a pool - the staff are maintaing and cleaning everyday.FromUS$93

Good location with Pacific Fair across the road and public transport as well. Close enough to walk to the beach. This is a budget hotel, rooms have very basic amenities, and some rooms are quite dated. The cleanliness of the rooms was very good!! Overall a good stay for what I needed.FromUS$83

Mermaid Beach|0.85km from city center
The hotel environment is pretty good, the swimming pool is good for kids, and there is the largest shopping mall on the Gold Coast across the road, but the service is very average. Our two friends booked the room together and left a message about the room to be together. , The result was that that day, we were divided a long distance away, and it was useless after a long time, rubbish, originally it was the children of the two families together to play together, but the result was still so far away from each other, which was not human at all. The location is not as convenient as Surfers Paradise, you have to drive when you go out, I won’t choose it next timeFromUS$254

The stay was very comfortable, clean and quiet. This travel experience really pinched my heart!
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the doorman enthusiastically helped with the luggage, the check-in speed at the front desk was super fast, and the fun places around were also intimately introduced. The room was clean and bright, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the person I recognized the bed could sleep well all night. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and the bath products smell super good.
The hotel has a rich breakfast, Chinese and Western food, fresh fruit and strong coffee. The gym equipment is complete and the pool water is clear. It is convenient to travel around, there is a subway station within a few minutes, and there is a commercial street next to it. You don't have to worry about eating and shopping.
The price is also very affordable, the same quality hotel, this price is super high. Next time I come here, I will definitely choose it!Very Good26 Reviews

The apartment was excellent. It offered a nice chill area to relax in the loungeroom, a bedroom with a great bed. The bathroom was suitable and the kitchen was a big bonus. The washer and dryer also came in handy. My favourite part was the secure off-street basement parking. It took the hassle away from having to find a parking spot each evening.Good41 Reviews

The apartment was brand new, with high ceilings and all the furniture was super new, clean, and very fresh. We loved everything inside.
But we had a problem with check-in. We booked in the morning and arrived around 6 PM, but we hadn't received any check-in instructions. The reception is open a couple of hours a day. We ended up calling for 40 minutes, paying a deposit, and then couldn't get in. It was incredibly inconvenient.FromUS$179
