Top Elanora Hotel Reviews

Novotel Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, all amenities, excellent breakfast, spacious room, everything was perfect."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Everything went fine over the weekend. We only had one small blip over breakfast. We booked for 2 adults and 2 kids - giving our kids age of 14 when we booked. When we went to breakfast, the breakfast staff said breakfast was only including kids, which is 12 years and under. We were always clear on the kid's ages so I'm not sure why they weren't included in the 'breakfast included' option. Very confusing. This should be made very clear when booking as the breakfasts at the hotel is very expensive - over $50 a person!"

Sea World Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort, food was amazing for breakfast buffet and also the dinner buffet. A wide range for all. Cocktails amazing also. Easy access to seaworld thru the gift shop in the lobby. We also payed for late check out, which we also got 2 free cocktails with a voucher. Pool area is amazing with 2 life guards always on duty. Will definitely be back"

Mantra on View Hotel

8/10 Good

"Two adults and two little kids stayed here on Friday and Saturday night over the Airshow weekend. I had read some of the other reviews and I had low expectations thinking it was going to be a bit tired. But our room was great. Clean. The room itself was modern and fresh. Two double beds in the one room, as expected. Big bathroom. It was great having a combined shower bath so the kids could have a bath. Very comfortable. No issues with bed comfort or water pressure. Balcony is very small- I don’t like when there are table and chairs pushed up against the balcony railing. Overall, exceeded expectations."
