Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast
The hotel itself is quite nice and the staff were very helpful. We were disappointed a bit in the dining experience especially the Special Seafood Buffet which was disappointing. The pool, while large, wasn’t very nice, and the water was cloudy. The location is right off the beach which is very unique ...

Harbour Quays Apartments
The apartment was clean, good location and great size. Easy to check in and find. Overall really enjoyed our stay. Only challenge was the aircon is central aircon but there was no vent in the 2nd room so my kids had no air conditioning which was a bit tough a few nights with kids waking up.

Still well maintained and enjoyable. Not alot of staff around so service can be a bit slow at times.

Good location. The room was a bit smelly but the staff were very helpful. The lounge cafe staff weren’t very nice. Both buffet and Japanese restaurant were amazing.
