Stayed at the Dorsett Gold Coast with my girlfriend and we had an amazing stay. For the £130 I paid, the hotel felt like it should have cost a lot more considering how nice everything was. The room was modern, clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was fantastic. The staff were all friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the location is perfect being right next to The Star Casino which made everything really convenient. The only small hiccup was during check-in...

Great hotel with great breakfast buffet, so much choice. Location was perfect 10 mins walk to beach and tram stop opposite hotel. 2 small pools either side of hotel so always having sunshine! Only issue was our toilet didnt flush properly, mentioned it to reception who sent a plumber out straight away but after he had gone still didn't flush properly! But all in all would definitely stay again and would recommend.

I liked this place so much I am still even now tempted to buy a unit!!! The staff were absolutely awesome, really lovely and would do absolutely anything to help you. The room had the most amazing view of anywhere I have ever stayed... so much so I sent my team a video of me sat drinking beer on the patio looking at the sea view. The room has super fast wifi, great facilities... it is a home from home. Theres a fully fledged gym, great pool and a somewhat windy BBQ area on the roof... its...
