Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach ★★★★

📍 3534 Main Beach Parade, Main Beach

"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 However, the room itself was quite outdated and lacked the comfort we expected.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."

Golden Sands on the Beach - Absolute Beachfront Apartments

Golden Sands on the Beach - Absolute Beachfront Apartments ★★★★

📍 3575 Main Beach Parade, Main Beach

"View (lvl 8) was amazing, just as advertised. Location was fantastic, close to Seaworld and on the beach. We even saw whales, and the lorrikeets liked to come vitit. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, felt recently updated. I do wish there were doonas rather than just blankets. There were no tea towels or dishcloths so we couldn't clean up after ourselves - maybe an oversight by cleaners. Pool and spa were well maintained."

Maldives Resort Main Beach, Gold Coast
8.4 (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."

"Yep, you are all right about the Managers (if you could call him and her that). They must own the whole building because no one in their right mind would employ them. They are the most insolent and derisive people we have ever come across with any apartment we have ever booked. But like they replied to previous reviews, "we don't care what people say about us"."

"Thhe apartment was very spacious, bigger than places we have stayed at before. It was clean and had all the modern appliances to make it very comfortable. Perfect location to shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back again!"

"Fabulous stay. Extremely well equipped apartment...even had weighing scales! 2 bed 2 bath and very spacious. Very comfortable and a real home from home. Helpful, friendly reception. Pleasant pool and BBQ area. Main Beach is a very upmarket area and Tedder Avenue is the main drag and literally minutes from the apartment, as is the beach in the other direction. It's about a 30 minute flat, paved walk along the beach path to Surfers Paradise. The location was perfect. It was relatively quiet although there is a major building project just down the road that looks like it will be ongoing for a while yet. However you don't expect to come to the Gold Coast without finding active building projects!! We would definitely stay here again if in the area."

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."

"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 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."
