“What I find compelling is the Miami pool club vibe, rare for a family-oriented resort in this part of the Gold Coast. The location is indeed central, but the better rooms face the river, offering views that, in my opinion, surpass those of the beach. Add to this fresh dining and spacious rooms, and you've got a solid base for exploring Surfers Paradise.”
