Don't go by the photo's you see online or in the hotel's own brochures, the place looks nothing like it! If I had the time, I'd have the place up for a serious case of false advertising! Our initial reaction was to check out. Even the kids weren't happy at the beginning. What they say about first impressions really does... more

Spent 3 nights at the Paradise Resort with my husband and 6 year old. The room was a little dated but clean and the beds were comfortable. My daughter went to the Kids club twice in the evening and my husband and I went out for a walk and found restaurants to dine at. My daughter seemed to like the... more

We stayed here for 4 nights in a bunk house room (1 x Queen Bed, 1 x Bunks). Bunk area is partitioned off and the kids have their own TV & PS2. Games and DVD's are available from the shop down staris, free of charge however there is a $100 security bond for each disc borrowed. A bit steep for... more

I did not do sufficient research and ended up at this "RESORT?". This is a very dated crowded place to stay especially the pool areas. The food is poor and the theme is very tacky. It felt like staying overnight at a CRECHE with no real services for Adults not even a gym to do some excercise...the beds were small... more

All in all this was a great place to take the kids, but is really only suitable for kids 0-12 year olds with great activities and Kids club through out the day. I think teenages would find it boring, the only negative thing I would say about the Paradise Resort is that it is very noisy, we had a room... more

I'd read very mixed reviews about Paradise Resort and was unsure what to expect. But we were more than pleased with our experience, and would recommend it to anyone with children under about 10, perhaps except for those with a particular preference for premium luxury accommodation. We were most pleased by how relaxed we were able to be with our... more

We've just returned from Paradise Resort, where we spent 3 nights during peak school holiday period with 2 and 6 year old boys. I have mixed feelings about this resort. Definitely not 5 star - but I don't think they claim to be. Ultimately, it's difficult to find somewhere that is truly kid friendly and also offers something for the... more

We checked out after 1 night because we found Paradise Resort to be cramped, daggy, unappealing, run down and although desk service was generally good, we felt like we were trapped in a ball pit with beds. So unclean that my son woke up with asthma (he hardly ever gets it.) We found a spacious 3br apartment near Main Beach... more

I stayed there in August 2006 with a 2yo, 7yo and 9yo. The older two kids thought the kids club was pretty average and not enough exciting things to do. It look fantastic in the brochure. The pools weren't the cleanest, our eldest caught an ear infection (had something growing in his ear) from the main pool. The rooms were... more

I am a travel agent, so having 'sold' this property before in holiday packages, my stay was both personal and for research purposes. Staying at the Paradise Resort (formerly called the Mercure Resort Surfers Paradise) was fantastic for my family young family, (2 Adults & 2 Kids, aged 5 & 3yrs). Even though we were only there for a short... more
