Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Very clean room and generally satisfactory staff. Housekeeping seemed to have problems supplying a shower chair, a visit to reception needed to solve the problem. But the rooms and ocean views views were excellent.

Great location for beach, restaurants and shops. Two pools and a hot tub. Breakfast buffet was great. Would recommend. Hotel is right on the tram line which makes it simple to get to south broadbeach or the other way to main beach.
