Reviews of Tessa's on the Beach
Liam Alcock
Excellent place to stay on the Gold Coast. If your travelling through or here for sometime highly recommend. Staff, service and location is excellent just off the highway and short distance from Gold Coast Airport. Quirky South American style resort, 2min walk to beach, pool and a bar serving delicious cocktails 🍸 😋 🤙🏝.

Truly thoughtful service and a great experience overall. Highly recommend!
