From the moment you step in, the hotel exudes comfort and privacy. The seated check-in desks give a nice personal touch upon arrival. I was lucky to be upgraded to a penthouse suite for my one night stay. The suite was simply “wow”. The attention to detail is wonderful - I was pleasantly surprised by bath salts arriving at just the right time as well as peppermint tea to wind down after a long day. The bathrooms were, like the rest of the suite, spotless and stocked with all the necessities and little luxuries such as hair straighteners. There was plentiful space to relax, including a wraparound balcony with great views across Broadbeach and a spacious living area. I didn’t have time to experience all of the hotel amenities on this short visit, and can’t wait to return to see all that it has to offer. ##### Larissa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 10 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well maintained room with all amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. ##### Ian ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 6 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A quality high end product well staffed and maintained to provide comfort and pampering for a stay to remember. ##### Ian Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 31 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Still a high end very comfortable place to stay with staff and facilities to treat you and make the stay special. ##### Ian Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shae 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities awesome ##### shae Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### January 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel itself is lovely, high quality and comfortable. I liked the fast lifts, spacious room and comfortable bed and bath. Chromecast and wifi connection to the TV didn't work so I was unable to watch anything on the TV. Within ten minutes of entering my room I received a knock to find a woman standing silently holding a bottle of water and chocolates. I don't know if she couldn't speak English but it wasn't clear what she wanted and was a little unnerving as she didn't say anything. A little further training required perhaps My included breakfast was not logged so I had to stand for almost 10 minutes to be let in (by which time of course the buffet was busy) The barista coffee at breakfast took a very long time and I had to remind them 2 times what I'd ordered. The signage to park at The Darling is not clear and you have to drive around the entire casino to get to the parking spot and then it is not clearly sign posted but it's valet parking. They really need to explain this clearer and some signs on the road around the casino would be appreciated. Overall a nice enough stay, but let down by the small touches which hold it back from truly being a 5 star establishment. ##### January Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Really great apartment with good views, fitted out well and very spacious and modern. Unfortunately, we were not told about anything including: access, breakfast or room service (no menus available) and when I rang to find out, they could not help as was supposed to be on the QR code, and they didn’t know why it wasn’t. We were both very hungry and ended up eating some chips from the mini bar. On a side note the mini bar had one packet of chips and one packet of cashews. The remainder consisted of drinks… ummm a bit strange in such a nice room. We also did not know breakfast was included and so ordered room service. The room service was very average with brown avocado, cold coffee and food and they missed part of the order completely. Very limited options, not much healthy at all. Was probably all at the buffet we did not know about… When we left we were asked why we didn’t go to the buffet breakfast and we said we didn’t know about it they did not charge us for the (cold) room service. Also, we were not told to only use one set of lifts and we tried to get to our room going up and down for 10 minutes before we asked for help, even then they just pressed a button and did not explain…. The service was way, way below the room amenity, shame really, cannot recommend. ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Noosa Tropicana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Tropicana.h3769240.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Paradise-Resort-Gold-Coast.h43437.Hotel-Information) > > [RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-RACV-Royal-Pines-Resort-Gold-Coast.h425456.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane-Airport-Hotel.h19295854.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Gold-Coast-Resort-Spa.h25943.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Cairns.h7566.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Langham.h78099407.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > > [Regency on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Regency-On-The-Beach.h1784811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal On The Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Royal-On-The-Park.h582734.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Brisbane Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Pullman-Brisbane-Airport.h19295763.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Brisbane-Central.h14677166.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Tropiq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Rainbow-Resort.h201315.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Novotel-Cairns-Oasis-Resort.h84251.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Plaza-Hotel.h890459.Hotel-Information) > > [Melaleuca Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Melaleuca-Resort.h1142618.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Rumba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Rumba-Beach-Resort.h3688041.Hotel-Information) > > [W Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-W-Brisbane.h21612140.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Plaza Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Stamford-Plaza-Brisbane.h460514.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luton-Airport-Hotels.0-aLTN-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Southern Cross Atrium Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Atrium-Apartments.h1119287.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Palazzo-Versace.h541927.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Colonial Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bay-Village-Tropical-Retreat-Apartments.h980056.Hotel-Information) ---
