I do find it strange that some people have such a bad time at the islander, maybe they are used to 5 star luxury and couldnt do without the butler! in my eyes having stayed at many hotels worlwide the islander is brilliant. it is clean, the staff are super helpful and smiley and the location must be unveatable in... more

We were pleasantly surprised with the size of this apartment we stayed in. The bedroom is separate from the living area where our child slept, which was handy. It also includes kitchen and big bathroom with 2 sinks. Although an older building and style, also some furniture dated and worn, it was overall very tidy and everyone was helpful to... more

After reading the other Trip Advisor reviews, I was a little apprehensive about booking this hotel, but I'm glad I did. I got a great deal from the yourcoast website - $99 per night for a double room including breakfast. The hotel is old and a little rundown, but it was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It's... more

The Islander Resort Hotel is a dump. Plain and simple. I get the shivers thinking back. My story (as short as possible): I first stayed in a 4 bed dorm. Half of the floor in the room was always wet from the shower. There was mold everywhere. We had bugs. Huge bugs. Probably the biggest I have ever seen. The... more

What else could you want? A bus station next door. Food shops everywhere around it. Bottle-O(Beer, Wine, Spirit) shop at basement and to top it off, a hot tub Jacuzzi. I adored that, especially since it was winter and freezing (up to my SIngaporean standards at least). I stayed in the backpackers dorm and met some awesome friends there. I... more

Booked this hotel though VirginBlue Holidays and I would have rather stayed in the hostel side of the hotel after seeing our hotel room. There was lipstick/blood stains on the sheets, handprints on walls, the carpets were damp to the point of soaking your socks and the furniture was falling apart. I was really grossed out by the room and... more

My husband and I stayed in an one bedroom apartment at the highest floor. Bedroom very big with one king size bed. The apartment was very clean and tidy but furniture a bit old. Sometimes aircond dripped water. No aircond in the living room. Kitchen equipment very complete. Bathroom very large with 2 sinks and a bathtub, but there's no... more

I stayed at this hotel in January 2009. The hotel was disgusting at best, I would never go back and I advise anyone going to Surfers Paradise to stay elsewhere; I didn’t even stay one night the place was so bad. I had booked a one bedroom apartment in the hotel. The room did not appear to have been cleaned... more
