Broadbeach travel guide and discussion

I just experienced the pinnacle of Gold Coast luxury at The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast, and it was nothing short of spectacular! 🌊 As part of the massive The Star Gold Coast complex, this hotel is a destination in itself. Stepping into the lobby, I was immediately struck by the modern, elegant design and the buzzing energy. My room offered stunning views, and I learned a fascinating fact: the integrated resort, which includes the hotel, features over 600 luxury rooms and suites. My king room was spacious, with a super-comfy bed and a balcony perfect for watching the sunset. The location is unbeatable for exploring the Gold Coast. It's situated at Broadbeach Island, 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach, QLD 4218. From here, I was just a short drive from Surfers Paradise and a quick trip to the airport. A major perk I discovered is that The Star Grand provides a complimentary shuttle service to Surfers Paradise and Pacific Fair shopping centre – a lifesaver! Beyond the gorgeous room, the amenities are top-tier. I spent a full afternoon relaxing by the stunning outdoor pool, cocktail in hand 🍹. For dinner, the choices within the resort were incredible. I indulged in a meal at Kiyomi, the award-winning Japanese restaurant helmed by renowned Chef Chase Kojima. The sushi was sublime! For a more casual vibe, I also loved the Food Quarter for its variety. Of course, the casino floor offered thrilling entertainment, but even if you're not into gaming, the bars and live music venues provide plenty of nightlife. #TheStarGrandGoldCoast #GoldCoastLuxuryStay #StarGoldCoast #QueenslandTravel

Wow, what an incredible stay! 😍 I just spent three fantastic nights at the Meriton Suites Broadbeach, and it has completely redefined my idea of a perfect Gold Coast holiday. Standing at an impressive 70 storeys, it's one of the tallest residential buildings in Australia! 🇦🇺 My one-bedroom apartment was absolutely massive, featuring a full kitchen, a spacious balcony with breathtaking views of the ocean, and a washer/dryer – a lifesaver for a traveller like me. The location is simply unbeatable. It's literally a 5-minute stroll to the sparkling sands of Broadbeach Beach. 🏖️ Every morning, I'd grab a coffee and watch the surfers catch the early waves. The hotel is also right next to the Star Gold Coast casino and a short walk from the vibrant Pacific Fair shopping centre, home to over 400 stores. 🛍️ One of the best features? The lagoon-style outdoor pool. I spent a lazy afternoon floating there, looking up at the towering skyscraper – pure bliss! ☀️ For dinner, I highly worth exploring the nearby Kurrawa Surf Club for a classic Aussie parmy with a view. Their address is 5 Old Burleigh Rd, Broadbeach, and the atmosphere is so friendly. Why I'd go back in a heartbeat: Space & Value: For the price of a standard hotel room, you get a full apartment. It's perfect for families or groups of friends. Prime Location: You're in the heart of the action, yet it feels peaceful and relaxed compared to Surfers Paradise. Stunning Views: Waking up to a panoramic view of the coastline is an experience in itself. If you're planning a trip to the Gold Coast and want a blend of luxury, space, and an A+ location, you absolutely must consider the Meriton Suites Broadbeach. It’s more than a hotel; it’s a home away from home with a spectacular view! ✨ #MeritonSuitesBroadbeach #GoldCoastGetaway #BroadbeachTravel #AustraliaLuxuryStays

My recent stay at the Meriton Suites Broadbeach was an absolute game-changer for my Gold Coast holiday! 🎉 Forget cramped hotel rooms; here, I lived in a spacious, modern one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and a balcony offering stunning views. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the sparkling Pacific Ocean was pure magic. ☀️ The location is unbeatable. It's just a 2-minute stroll to the pristine sands of Broadbeach Beach itself. I spent my mornings with a coffee on the sand, watching the surfers, and my afternoons exploring the area. The hotel is also right next to the Star Gold Coast casino and entertainment complex, and a short walk from the vibrant Kurrawa Park. One of the best features? The lagoon-style swimming pool! 🏊♀️ After a day of exploring, floating in the pool with the city skyline as a backdrop was the perfect way to unwind. The hotel also has a well-equipped gym and several outdoor spas. Food-wise, you're spoilt for choice. I highly recommend grabbing breakfast or lunch at No Name Lane, just an 8-minute walk away at 2/26 Victoria Ave, Broadbeach. Their coffee and avo smash are legendary! For a special dinner, I ventured to Moo Moo The Wine Bar and Grill at The Oasis Shopping Centre, Broadbeach. Their award-winning steaks are worth every penny. 🥩 A quick data check for fellow planners: The Gold Coast welcomed over 13.5 million domestic and international visitors in the year ending September 2023 (according to Tourism Australia's data). It's a popular spot, so booking your suite in advance is a smart move! #MeritonSuitesBroadbeach #GoldCoastGetaway #BroadbeachTravel #AustraliaTravelTips

We visited this place on the weekend recommended by our friend, a very nice and cozy place for brunch and tea!! Their desserts looks so good and affordable, we ordered the flourless chocolate fudge with ice cream, it was so so good!! Can’t wait to try out the rest of the desserts. The pasta here are really good too, I personally preferred the crab meat pasta, they are so generous with the crab meat. Coffee was quite standard, nothing too special. The only down side of this place is the seats are quite limited, advise to come during non peak hour if you don’t like the crowd.

Got some credits left in our star gift card, so decided to give the “TEA FOR TWO” a go here. The tea set included carrot cake, mud cake, signature doughnut, scones, mixed sandwiches and one standard tea or coffee per person. We both had a flat white. The coffee was nice but not hot enough. The coffee came much earlier than the food as we had to wait for 25 minutes. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were placed nicely on a. The sandwich bread was very dry and the filling also not looked very fresh. The taste was just ok. Then we had the scones which was really good, warm and soft. The carrot cake and mud cake were not bad but the signature doughnut was pretty ordinary as it’s a bit hard, didn’t look fresh at all. This tea set cost $39, good quantities but not qualities. #menu subject to change #no bookings needed

I like to watch dusk🌆, so I came to Gold Coast Beach in Tuen Mun🏖️. Not only is the view here, the sea view is excellent, attracting many overseas, local, in short, in a word, people from different nationalities, will definitely come to this beach 🏖️. Every December, the Gold Coast beach 🏖️, there are many people, because here about 5-6 o'clock, the sun 🌞 setting ⛰️, will appear sunset, the whole sky is yellow and red, not to mention you do not know, the breeze, floating up, you can smell the sea water, enveloping the whole ocean, so you can't forget, miss it, miss it! Reminisce? After watching the sunset 🌇 dusk and evening glow, let's go to this Gold Coast Mall. When I go there, I always see a market in the center of the mall. You can just walk around. But I was in a hurry to leave because I had something to do that day. I missed the market for everyone to see. I'm sorry! If you like my recommendations, remember to follow me. #TuenMun #HongKong #LocalTour #FamilyGood #GoldCoast #GoldCoastBeach #HongKongGoldCoast #TuenMunGoldCoast #TuenMunGoldCoastPlaza #BeachSlowwalk #BeachEpisode #TuenMunGood Places #Market

Free parking, there is a powder room, and there is also a row of sand washing pools. Playing with water can be cleaned. The beach is clean and suitable for walking, playing in the water, soaking your feet, watching the scenery, and children playing in the sand.... #亲子玩水

A comfortable place to stay in Gold Coast. The place I stayed the most in Australia is Gold Coast. I often stayed in Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach. Peppers, Mantra, Sofitel, etc., but this place was the best for me! Meriton Suites Broadbeach😍 First of all, Broadbeach is right next to Surfers by car for 5-10 minutes. Surfers has too many tourists..I prefer Broadbeach, which is moderately busy, because it has a moderate number of restaurants and Pacific Fair, a large shopping mall across the street. First of all, the room is a residence type, with a separate living room and bedroom. The kitchen is also fully equipped with a corner where you can cook, and there is a washing machine and dryer for laundry. They even leave liquid soap with you every day! First of all, the view is good!! As long as there is no building in front... I expect the view here to be good. #Ho-kangs #Australia travel #Ho-kangs

What a fantastic place to stay when visiting the Gold Coast. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pool and spa are set in a stunning tropical environment. The beach with flags is just down the street, along with the MBLS club. On the other end of the street, you'll find the light rail station. There are plenty of cafes nearby, and it's within walking distance to Pacific Fair, Broadbeach, and Nobby’s. We’re definitely coming back!

Took the kids to the Gold Coast and chose The Island Gold Hotel in Surfers Paradise. My biggest takeaway: the location is unbeatable, the room is spacious, and it offers great value. Room type: 46 sqm twin suite, more than enough for a family of three We booked a twin suite, approximately 46 square meters, featuring one king bed and one standard double bed. These two large beds are perfect for a family of three—the child can have their own bed, and the adults can sleep comfortably. The suite also includes a private balcony, which is great for fresh air and drying clothes. What I liked most was the kitchenette in the room. It came fully equipped with tableware and cookware, making it easy to pick up ingredients from a nearby supermarket and whip up simple breakfasts and dinners for the child, which saved us quite a bit on dining out. We also received complimentary milk and chips in our room every day, which the child loved. Location: 3-minute walk to the beach, tram station at the doorstep The hotel is located in the heart of Surfers Paradise. It is just a three-to-four-minute walk to the beach, making it very convenient to take the child to play in the sand and surf. Cavill Avenue is right outside, lined with restaurants, shops, and convenience stores, so you will not have to worry about finding places to eat or shop. Transportation is also stress-free—the tram station is about 300 meters away, just a two-to-three-minute walk. You can easily take the tram to places like Southport and Broadbeach. A one-way ticket costs just 50 Australian cents, which is a great deal. It is about a 6-minute walk to the supermarket, which is perfect for daily needs. Tips There is a bar on the ground floor, so it can get quite lively at night, and street-facing rooms might experience some noise. I recommend asking the front desk for a room on the quieter side of the building when you check in, or simply keeping the balcony door closed, which should minimize any disturbance. If you are driving, parking is limited and costs about AU$25 per day. Alternatively, you can use the public parking lot nearby for about AU$15 per day to save a little. Overall, given its location in Surfers Paradise, the ability to stay in a 46 sqm suite with a kitchen, and its walking distance to both the beach and the tram station, The Island Gold Hotel is a very practical choice for families traveling to the Gold Coast without breaking the bank.

Stayed 5 nights in an Executive Twin Panoramic Room on level 19. The room was pleasant, and the bathroom was nice. Breakfast in the executive lounge was quiet and enjoyable, though the food selection was a bit more limited compared to larger restaurants. The afternoon canapés were a standout, offering a slightly varied selection each day. Dorsett aligns more with a business hotel than a luxury resort, and it met expectations well.

Absolutely enjoyed our time at Qube Broadbeach. Having a hire car made the free parking a great perk. The 2-bedroom apartment was perfect for the four of us. The pool was fantastic. It’s just a short walk to the center where all the coffee shops and the mall are located. Our room overlooked the pool, so it was very quiet. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful—full credit to them. Here’s a little secret: there’s an amazing deck near the gym at the back, sheltered from the wind and offering a stunning view of the hinterlands while catching the late afternoon sun. It’s on the highway side. Overall, I highly recommend staying here! 👍👍🍾🍺

We spent 10 nights at Peppers Broadbeach. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with a lovely property and an excellent location, though a few issues left us disappointed. The 2-bedroom apartment featured a nice layout, complete with a full kitchen, laundry, and two bathrooms. However, the second bedroom was quite small, and with twin beds rather than a queen or king setup, there was only a 15cm space between the bed and the entrance, making it tricky to navigate around. The property is composed of two separate towers, each with its own facilities. Staying in Tower 1 meant we could only access Tower 1 amenities. Tower 1 included two pools—a lap pool and a larger pool with a small kids' area and a spa. On the same level, there was a guest lounge with a pool table, while outside was a peaceful Zen garden equipped with BBQs and outdoor seating. A standout feature for our family, especially for our kids, was the theatrette. It could be pre-booked free of charge for 3-hour blocks, allowing us to stream from our devices. Equipped with 4 beanbags, 4 reclining armchairs, a funky built-in couch, a kitchenette with a bar fridge, and a microwave, it was ideal for relaxing with snacks and drinks. This was a great source of downtime entertainment during our stay. Unfortunately, we faced a frustrating issue with the air conditioning system. As the weather got hotter midway through our stay, we turned it on around day 4. Adjusting the fan speed to low resulted in it emitting a smell of dust and burning plastic. We immediately switched it off and reported it to the front desk the next day. The manager came by and advised us to keep it off while arranging for repairs the following day. However, the problem persisted throughout the remainder of our stay despite repeated calls and visits from staff. Instead, we had to rely on pedestal fans during increasingly warm days, with temperatures reaching 26-28 degrees. This was disappointing, especially at a premium property, as not having a functional heating or cooling system for half our stay felt unacceptable. Although I understand that repairs can take time, I regret not being more assertive in pushing for a quicker solution when we initially raised the issue. Despite this setback, we did enjoy most aspects of our stay, but the unresolved aircon problem put a damper on the experience.

Stayed here for 5 days for a solo recharge trip. Chose an ocean-facing studio apartment, which was more than sufficient. I arrived around 1pm, was greeted warmly, checked in quickly, and allowed early access to my room—an excellent start. My requests for a high floor and stunning view were fulfilled with a corner suite on level 24. The wraparound balcony offered incredible views from Broadbeach toward Burleigh and around the fire and rear towards Star Casino and Pacific Fair. The room was well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged, stocked with everything I needed. Guest services promptly addressed my request for a different pillow and clothes-drying rack. Facilities were excellent, featuring two pools, a gym, two spas, and a sauna. The location was fantastic with shops, restaurants, bars, the beach, and Pacific Fair all a short walk away. The only reason for docking a star is the gym’s small size and limited equipment. Additionally, the hotel’s highway location can get noisy, and the position of the main pool leaves it shaded most of the time, reducing its utility. Overall, however, excellent value for money, convenient access to everything Broadbeach offers, and consistently cheerful service from all staff.

I stayed for two nights and truly enjoyed my time. The room even offered a lovely view of the sea! The location was highly convenient, with a Woolworths, Starbucks, and several restaurants and cafés nearby. The beach was also easily accessible. The closest tram station, Broadbeach North, made exploring the Gold Coast simple. For those traveling by bus or aiming to reach Brisbane via tram and train, the hotel is easy to get to and continues to be well-connected. Although the room was excellent overall, I did encounter a minor issue with the deadbolt on the main door, which was faulty. However, everything else was spot on, making for a pleasant and comfortable stay in this prime location.

This property never lets me down; it’s my favorite spot on the GC. The front desk team is consistently friendly, welcoming, and professional. The room and apartment quality is top-notch, featuring excellent amenities like Foxtel TV. Everything is always impeccably clean. The pool and spa area are wonderful. I’m already excited for my stay in December!

It's no wonder VUE Beach Apartments made the list of Australia's Top 50 Scenic Hotels. Situated right by the scenic area, the views from the rooms are breathtaking. Whether it’s sunrise or sunset, the scenery is absolutely stunning—honestly, the "Amazing sunrise view" left me speechless and in a fantastic mood! 🏖️ I think the reasons for its inclusion on the list are spot on. The location is incredibly convenient, making it perfect for both getting around and snapping those Instagram-worthy shots. The service was even more impressive; the staff were proactive and efficient in solving any issues that arose. If I were recommending this to a friend, I’d give it a solid 4 stars, primarily for the superb location and professional service. To sum up my stay: "Great location, good service"—those few words perfectly capture my positive experience here. Quick Tips: · Make sure to book a room with an ocean view; the sunrise is so beautiful you won't want to step away from the window. · I'd recommend double-checking the hotel policies before you arrive to ensure a smooth trip. This list has become a more valuable resource for me, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it in the future!

I feel this property, with its dedicated Management team and an engaging Body Corporate committee for the owners, is undoubtedly the reason for my Five Star rating. Whether it's the fantastic pool, spa, sauna, and BBQ area, or the gym and games area, all needs are well catered for, regardless of age. Secure undercover parking is another great advantage, and the location is excellent, with Pacific Fair, Star Casino, and numerous fantastic restaurants just a short walk away. The apartment rates also offer great value for a property like this. While there's a new project nearby, it’s just part of the Gold Coast charm. Lastly, I’d like to thank the Stayco staff—Lauren, Jacki, Adele, and Mook—whose genuine smiles and helpful assistance truly make this a special place to stay.

A clean and spacious suite with all essentials provided. Very quiet, a very comfortable bed, and excellent shower pressure! Perfectly situated near the hospitality precinct, beach, and tram station. If you're seeking a central, cost-effective, smaller alternative to a big hotel, I would recommend it. However, it is somewhat outdated, with curtains hanging off hooks, aged rooms, and mismatched furniture. The actual presentation doesn't quite match the website photos. Flags in the windows of permanent residents slightly affect the first impression.

This place has been running successfully for over 40 years. I was lucky to have experienced it in the past, and I can confidently say they continue to deliver excellence today. The complete experience, from arrival to departure, is truly delightful. Even though we visited midweek, the venue still managed to attract a good-sized crowd. We left with cherished memories, and I'm sure you'll create your own special ones when you visit too.
