Top The Rockpools Hotel Reviews

Sea World Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurants had enough variety and better pricing than in the park. We enjoyed our stay at SeaWorld Resort!"

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Meriton overall. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the location was excellent. The staff were friendly, and the facilities were well maintained. The only downside was that some of the dishes and kitchen utensils weren’t properly clean, so we had to wash them before using them. Apart from that, everything else was great, and we would happily stay here again."

Tryp By Wyndham Southport Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"We stayed for only one night. When we arrived and checked in, there were a few issues with the parking. Later that night, when we returned to the hotel, we experienced another parking issue. After speaking with the reception staff, everything was resolved. Although our stay was short, everything else was great. Thank you!"

JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the JW Marriott. From the moment we checked in until the day we checked out, every member of the team provided exceptional service and made us feel very welcome. The teppanyaki restaurant was a real highlight of our stay. Chef Jojo made the evening so much fun and created a truly memorable experience for our family. The pools were beautiful, the breakfast was outstanding, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Gold Coast."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"First time at this hotel. I’ve stayed in other Sheraton’s before. This would certainly meet the mark. Love the service and attitude of the staff, always willing to help. Just that the hotel is a little bit dated and need some sprucing up to keep up with the times. Pity the pool is not very big for the size of the hotel, there’s a lot of water frontages and most of them just for show. This sized hotel should have a nice lap pool for adult swimmers. Breakfast and Seafood Buffet Dinner was sumptuous. Location is just right and away from Surfers which is super! And yes, sunset at Main Beach is very pretty!! Just watch out for the cyclists and runners. Overall a beautiful 4 Nights at this beautiful hotel."
