The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast
Staying at The Star was an overall good experience, only fault that I had was the pool areas were overly busy and no seats were ever available even despite going to the pool early at 8:30am.

Meriton Suites Broadbeach, Gold Coast
Excellent location and great amenities within the room. Just would have been better if there were on-site food services eg a breakfast room, but overall great place to stay.
