We will be back every time we visit Gold Coast 😍
Pros:

Loved the pools, they were so incredible, loved the theme the hotel had going, loved our morning swims hanging out with the lizards 😍😍

Cons:

Our room was ever so slightly on the tired side, but we got the cheaper room so that was on us.

Disappointing
Pros:

Location was great, size of room was good

Cons:

The room was incredibly run down. The blinds were hanging off the rails, filler on walls that had not been sanded and painted. Smelt awful. The glass had marks all over them.
