The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★

📍 3482-3488 Main Beach Parade, Main Beach

"We had a fantastic stay. The standout feature was the view—it was absolutely incredible, with an almost 180-degree panoramic outlook over the ocean. We would honestly come back just for the view alone. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had some thoughtful touches, including a Nespresso machine and milk left in the fridge for our arrival, which we really appreciated. The beach is right out the front and is beautiful and supervised. It's about a 20-minute walk to Surfers Paradise, but we actually preferred Main Beach. It's quieter, feels more prestigious, and is just as walkable with nicer places to eat. The staff were excellent—very friendly, responsive, and happy to share helpful local tips. One thing to note is that if you're arriving on a Sunday, you'll need to arrange check-in in advance, as there's no one at the front desk. However, the communication was pretty responsive and well organized that this wasn't a problem at all. Overall, we highly recommend this property. It's a wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return, especially for those unforgettable views."

Maldives Resort Main Beach, Gold Coast
8.3 (45 reviews)

Maldives Resort Main Beach, Gold Coast ★★★

📍 52 Pacific St, Main Beach

"Great location. The positives end there. Couch was soiled and in need of replacement, bathroom had mould in shower, built up dirt and dust on walls behind the toilet, cracked kitchen tiles, damaged walls. Mattress gave me a sore shoulder. Everything is substandard, including the woman on front reception who was most unwelcoming and had no interest in why I was checking out a day early. Never again."

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. "

"The apartment was very clean and equipped. Had everything we needed plus more. The location is great, we were up on a high floor and had the most beautiful ocean view. Would highly recommend staying here. Quite enjoyed being here a little quieter location vs surfers paradise."

Sea World Resort ★★★★
"Good deal! The package was made for families and everything is included. Theme parks tickets, room rate and breakfast included. The facilities at the resort are so convenient. The swimming pool was fun for kids to spend half a day there. The playground is also a relaxing place for parents to enjoy me time. Definitely recommended for families with active kids."

The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★
"Great place to stay! Absolute prime location right across the road from the beach and we felt a lot more relaxed being just a little bit down the road from the very busy (albeit beautiful) Surfers Paradise. Such a great place to head out from on walks or ebikes and so many things to do nearby. Tedder Ave was just a short walk away and had heaps of eating spots to make the whole family happy. The lady at reception was so helpful and informative on things to do with the kids. We stayed on level 11 in a 2 bedroom apartment with a role out bed for our 3rd child and it was fantastic. Heaps of room for a family of 5, everything you need for a comfortable stay and we found everything clean and tidy. When we walked in the door we all actually squealed with excitement at the view, it really is amazing! "

Maldives Resort Main Beach, Gold Coast ★★★
"The overall experience wasn’t enjoyable. The room was extremely dusty, dirty and was not cleaned to the standards expected. The bathroom sink was clogged, dirty walls, kitchen cutlery and plates dirty. Construction was going on in front of the building and it was extremely noisy, couldn’t sit out on the balcony. View was probably the only positive about my 4 night stay. Wouldn’t recommend this place."

Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach ★★★
"This was the fourth time we stayed at Norfolk Apartments over the last ten years. The apartments are light and have balconies, modern kitchens and comfortable furnishings. Many of the apartments have spectacular views and the sound of the waves was very relaxing. The beds are very comfortable. Norfolk Apartments are in a great position, located close to the beach, the shops and restaurants. The managers, Michael and Brooke, are very friendly and helpful, willing to go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. We look forward to staying again at Norfolk Apartments. We recommend Norfolk Apartments for a great Gold Coast holiday. "

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."
