"Michael was very accommodating. We found this online and after some discussion made the drive and we were very happy with what was on offer. This was a last minute stay for 7 nights due to having previous accomodation issues which we cancelled due to it being terrible. Fantastic location, great views, clean tidy, great pool area with spa and cooking facility."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast
8.4 (128 reviews)

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast ★★★★★

📍 71 Seaworld Dr, Main Beach

"The hotel’s public areas are beautifully designed and well maintained, which initially gave a great impression. However, the room itself was quite outdated and lacked the comfort we expected. Unfortunately, the check-in process was frustrating — we waited over 20 minutes at reception, and the staff member was rather stern and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Check-out was similarly inefficient, even though we had filled out the express checkout form in advance. Overall, a disappointing experience considering the hotel’s potential."

The Meriton on Main Beach
8.5 (17 reviews)

The Meriton on Main Beach ★★★★

📍 29-39 Woodroffe Ave, Main Beach

"After reading some of the the reviews I was somewhat concerned. I had read a review mentioning a particular unit and how dreadful it was but I can’t find it again. Very strange! Anyway we arrived only to find we were in that very same unit!😬. We unlocked the door with trepidation only to be pleasantly surprised. The unit is spacious and had a lovely view overlooking the bay. It had everything we needed and it was wonderful to be able to do all our washing ( 4 weeks worth) before flying home to the UK. Just a short walk to the tram. We were here when they were setting up for the Gold Coast 500 but even that didn’t seem to make things busier. it’s a little dated and some of the furnishings are really worn out but that didn’t impact on our stay and also I wouldn’t furnish out a rented property in the very best decor because it will get damaged. All in all very good value for money and we loved the apartment living. We’ve always been hotel people but this experience has made us think again. "

Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach ★★★★
"We had a lovely 3 bedroom apartment with magnificent ocean views. The apartment was extremely spacious and lovely and clean. The beds were so comfy. Everything you could possibly need is in apartment. Manager Michael is the best we have ever met and had the pleasure of dealing with in over 40 years of going to Gold Coast!!!!!!!! We will DEFINITELY be back next holiday."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast ★★★★★
"This hotel leaves me with mixed feelings. The room is 3-star, but the breakfast and pool are 5-star, and the service is 4-star. Walking into the lobby and breakfast area, I thought I was at a typical Sheraton beachfront resort. However, stepping into the room nearly made me collapse. The furniture and facilities were basic, rundown, and uncomfortable. Housekeeping was also subpar; the bathroom even leaked, and after showering, the room carpet was soaked. This definitely doesn't match the over 3000 AUD per night price tag. The breakfast and pool are indeed excellent and create a great resort vibe. Parking for self-drivers costs 65 AUD per night, which isn't expensive for Australia. I was so unimpressed with the hotel that I didn't even take a single photo. Main Beach is not far from the park where you can see wild kangaroos, and directly opposite is the Kokomo whale watching boat terminal. Sea World is also very close by."

The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★
"Absolutely outstanding experience here. Simply gorgeous decor and comfortable apartment with views that awe! Clean, hygienic and attention to detail on point. Host Damien and Emma go out of their way to ensure stay is at an optimum level. We stayed in apartment 14, on level 7 and could not fault it. Breathtaking views, ideal for the air show, or simply relaxing and taking in the horizon. European appliances and fresh carpet. Super comfortable beds and little touches that made this trip so memorable. Have already booked again and cannot wait to enjoy this gem."

The Meriton on Main Beach ★★★★
"We had some pluses and minuses on our stay. The building is well located but can be quite noisy at night as it is near the shops. Be aware there is a lot of construction nearby and this can be very noisy! The unit itself is well appointed, the bed comfortable but overall the cleaning is not great and some utensils were ready for the bin. A lot could be done to improve this property."

Oscar on Main Beach Resort ★★★★
"One of the best locations on the surfers strip. Unobstructed views and easy walking to the beach. Tedder Ave, fish markets, Southport Lifesaving Club, the beach and those fantastic cafes will continue to draw me each year. Our two bedroom room on the thirteenth floor was very spacious with fantastic views. Travelling in June is definitely value for for money and the weather at this time of the year is usually excellent. Will definitely be back."
