Blown away with the size of it! We got a free upgrade on arrival (probably due to staying in a couple of Meriton hotels on our trip). Our room was the full length of the block with a balcony on either side. Had its on chill out room as well as living area, dining area and kitchen. 3 TVs for the 2 of us and enough space to swing a herd of cats. Great place and would definitely stay again

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.

Lovely view from our balcony, large room, comfortable beds, friendly and professional staff. Excellent location, only 2 minutes walk to the beach. We loved it!

Loved the location and the view from the apartment was out of this world.
David one of the managers was very helpful he gave us instructions on how to get to all the places we wanted to go.

The property is situated just minutes from the beach, perfect golden sands, excellent swim, surf etc. Minutes away from shops and restaurants perfect for the whole family. Apartment was very clean and fresh. Everything I expected. Laundry, cooking facilities, gym and indoor swimming pool. Gated key entry for security. Would recommend to friends and family

Stayed 2 nights, clean sheets, nice bathrooms, bed was uncomfortable - mattresses were really thin foam, WiFi wasn’t great, free bus was a bonus, although not the best YHA I’ve stayed in but still pretty good.
