Reviews of Paradise Island Resort
Julian Yang
Excellent location—just a short walk to Surfers Paradise. The room is large and offers a lovely water view, although the furniture feels a bit dated. The reception staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Staff were nice to us, really good location and good value for money. However, the room wasn’t particularly clean, there was lots of hair clogging the bathroom drain :(
Adam Buckley
Not sure what all the negative reviews are about, we thought it was absolutely fine. Location was perfect, rooms were quite dated but clean and had everything we needed. Considering the price, not sure what people are expecting. If we came back to Gold Coast we would definitely stay again.

So I stayed one night at this place, I was a little concerned due to the reviews about there being mold in the rooms but thankfully there wasn’t any mold in my room. First of all this is my first time ever paying $200 for a security deposit and it was quite a lot (I did that all of that back*) I originally booked a room for $125 when we arrived at the place the room we got put in was NOT the room...
