Paradise Resort Gold Coast

Kid friendly resort which is starting to look a bit old and tired although looks like some renovations are being carried out. Food outlets were adequate especially if you like burgers, pizza and chips. Great place if you only spend 2 or 3 days.

We have always loved Paradise Resort but this time it missed the mark. The room was musty and without fans, the humidity in the room made it uncomfortable for table. It was drier outside. The services and entertainment for the kids is amazing and they loved it. But now that it's becoming cashless, I can't send the kids to get their own lunch and snacks so it means mums and dads are doing more running around and less relaxing.

This place is an oldie but a golden. Recently Revamped & decorated tastefully. Plenty of Fun with activities for the kids & Adults. The Waterpark is so much fun for young & old. Separate heated swimming pool with a slide. Comfortable beds & rooms very clean. Family friendly food options that are reasonably priced. A large indoor Playground. Ice-skating rink. Child minding club with fun games & activities & Laser tag. The Staff were all helpful, friendly & patient. Laundry facilities. Restaurant & casual snack bar. A well stocked grocery & gift store that sells essentials for families. Outdoor movie nice. Quiet location.

The pool was amazing, my kids loved it so much. There was an indoor playground which is fun. The reception staffs were so nice as well as the kids club 0-2 yo staff, they were both very welcoming and friendly. What I didn’t like was the breakfast buffet, which was just continental breakfast, people had to pay extra $$ to have eggs for their breakfast. I hope someday they would change it to English or American breakfast. The room that we were in was just ordinary, nothing feels luxury, it even had a smell the first time we opened the door. I like the kids club, my kids got to know new friends there. I guess you are paying for the kids experience and enjoyment here, and not the parent’s relaxation.

This place was incredible ! Family friendly ! So many things for the kids to do! Endless entertainment for children. Great water park, hourly activities. Rooms were standard but still great. Only 10 minutes walk to surfers paradise blvd. staff so friendly and meals were delicious. We will be going back for sure.

Great resort for families. our room was good, a little out dated and could use a few minor repairs, but we never stayed in the room throughout the day, as we were busy exploring. Staff were lovely. I didn't like how they were a cashless resort though (that includes cashless laundry) Overall, We enjoyed the stay.

We just spent a wonderful 10days here. The kids had a great time. Special shout out to Kiara who entertained our kids during the indoor activities on a very rainy day. And the staff at the Pamper Parlour who were able to add a few more sessions so my daughter could have her hair done on our last day. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The cleaning staff were very accommodating and did a very good job. All the staff we interacted with were kind and happy to help. We would definitely consider staying here again. We were sad to leave. Thank you!

First of all, I think it is important to say we visited during the week, term time and at end of May so chilly mornings and evenings and booked on a 30% off deal - paying $600 for 3 nights including parking and breakfast which we felt was a very good price.This is 100% a kids resort, no relaxation for grown ups but I do think there a fixing that with an 18+ over area. We probably would visit again at this price but only during term time as I would a) not want to visit paradise resort at full capacity and b) I would not pay more that $200 a night unless there were significant improvements made to the resort. Overall, our children had a wonderful time which was the most important thing for us.The room was fine - very basic and run down, but clean enough. However the pillows were plastic and hard and made it impossible to sleep well, the temperature controls on the showers made the shower difficult to use.The jungle gym was wobbly and run down and could be improved significantly but it was clean. The pool and splash parks were the best part for the children, we packed their wetsuits knowing that the pool would be cold which was a lifesaver. Considering we visited at low capacity, there was easily 25 people in the hot tub at once which was very off putting - especially with grown men inside drinking cans of beer (which is obviously a huge health hazard). They need to increase the warmth of the pool so children and adults can actually swim in it.The kids free activities were okay, the girl who ran them did a fantastic job but the actual activities were fairly basic. We all enjoyed the outdoor films and the trivia was really good too.Food wise, we tried burger, pizza and ice cream sundaes - mediocre and overpriced. However, it is very easy to walk to some wonderful restaurants at surfers paradise which we opted to do. The burger my son said was not nice and left it. The pizza was good though and we all enjoyed that. The ice cream sundaes were a bit sad and overpriced. The continental breakfast was fine, coffee was mediocre but I think the options available (toast, pastries, fruit, yogurt, ham and cheese, cereal) should be increased to hot food at $50 a day. We did order a cooked breakfast for $15 on the 3rd day as I couldn't face another sweet breakfast, which was pretty good. We did also have a couple of cocktails at the bar one evening which were very nice but expensive.We used the free voucher we were given for kids club - we left our children for two hours. I completed a form online before attending and selected that my child had a disability as she is autistic. Although there was a mix ups with the forms and the staff made an error, I was happy that my daughter was treated equally and the staff allowed her to be herself. Both the children seemed to enjoy their visit to kids club.I like how the schedule was displayed in many areas on screens and the accessibility using online services was very good. Great location, we walked to the beach every day which is just stunning. I think the resort could easily be a 5 star visit with overall improvements.

Our stay was awesome. Our children, 2 and 3.5 loved the place. We had a family room and the configuration worked so well for us.The staff are all wonderful and treated us so nicely. They were great with the kids.Special mention to Jane who was always there willing to help where she could.Great holiday

First time staying at paradise resort and they definitely did not fail to impress us. It was in a perfect location to walk around surfers paradise and explore. There were so many activities to keep the kids busy at the resort. The staff were incredible- one in particular named Sharleen who went above and beyond to help us find our missing car keys. We had an incredible time and we have now found our new holiday spot!
