"The Gold Coast Star holds many memories for us over the years, so when we come back to Stay & Play we are very comfortable & feel @ home. Value for money is high across all food outlets. They have higher end restaurants which are visually appealing & the food is excellent but they also offer a high volume menu @ the Food Quarter. Portion size @ quality of my Barrumundi & my Husband’s Lamb Shank was delicious! The Garden Kitchen is one of our favourite places to eat for food & ambience & still more eating Options offered! We don’t know how they do it!Accomodation was very clean & all Staff do a Wonderful job to make you feel welcomed. Reception was quick & friendly.

"The Staff were lovely and helpful, unfortunately the TV in the room was broken which wasnt a huge issue as only staying the one night. Great beds and quiet in the rooms. Had live music and couldn't hear it in the rooms at all but was loud in the restaurant/pub). It would be nice if the connected restaurant correctly gave you staying discounts (which I did not receive but my friend did) and the play area in the restaurant is filthy and needs a good clean."
