Bring your board. Spot-on location minutes from the beach. (Race ya.)

Lagoon-style pool with hot tub grotto and water slides – don’t forget to set your inner kid free.

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Ocean-inspired colours keep rooms as bright and easygoing as the beach across the street.

Hotel pool refreshes and de-stresses.

Need a change of pace? Cook a leisurely breakfast en suite and serve it on the private balcony alongside mimosas.

360 degree views from the 27th floor from Queensland’s only revolving restaurant. (Bonus? Killer fresh seafood.)

Wide windows to let in the rays (they call it the Gold Coast for a reason).

Picture-perfect rock pool has your back if you’re feelin’ a dip but don’t wanna get sandy.

Jaw-dropping grounds boast lush landscape, a lagoon beach pool and a marina (seriously).

Not one, but two outdoor pools with plenty of sun loungers.

Pack your bathing suit, they've got a pool.

Right off the motorway, only 10km from the CBD (bonus: free parking!).

Sleekly eclectic décor, flat-screens & seriously cosy beds make every room a retreat.
