Ok, so for the record I am by no means loaded. Some budget motel is more my style, but it was australia day on surfers paradise and getting dark, so my choices were a bit limited. Off I went to an internet cafe and checked out laterooms and wotif.com I was in luck I got an almost half price room,... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in January 2008 and prior to that in April 2005. Royal Pines is a great golf resort and this is why we chose to stay at this hotel. The hotel is now even better because it was recently renovated. The room we stayed at was chic and modern. It was still spacious... more

This was the second time I stayed at Royal Pines in 2007 - having previously stayed there over the long weekend in June. The resort itself is fantastic! It has the golf course, tennis courts, fitness room & swimming pool, three restaurants, a bar & a "cafe". The staff have always been courteous & helpful & during breakfast, some of... more

Had not stayed here since before Crowne Plaza took over management. Had a corner spa suite which was excellent as was the service at check in and from the attendants when we arrived. Friendly, polite and anxious to please. Having stayed at other 5 star hotels on the Gold Coast on a regular basis we found the Royal Pines to... more

Have previously stayed in this hotel and was really looking forward to it again. Am dissappointed this time around with the cleaniness and the service. Stayed in the Corner Spa Suite for two nights. Beautiful room and amazing views. Only complaint is the cleaning and the cleaner. There were dead insects lying on the floor near the curtain inside and... more

Wow.... Stayed here for 3 days in a Junior Suite and without a doubt, was the best holiday I have had on the Gold Coast in the best hotel I have stayed at on the GC. From Concerige to Check-in, Room Service, Housekeeping, and Restraunt, not a single thing was wrong for my whole stay. If you have transport, (as... more

We booked the standard Double Twin room in which we upgraded to the Ocean View King room when we arrived at the hotel for only AU$10. It was well worth it. The room overlooked the golf course and Surfer's Paradise in the background. The interior was also really nice and classy. The hotel itself is located next to a golf... more

The refurbishment seems complete. The rooms are 100% better. Comfy beds, beautifully furnished, could not fault the rooms. Although we were in a room near the elevator and so if you are a light sleeper, maybe ask to be away from the shaft. Our view was not good (overlooking a roof with pebbles) and no balconies, so a little disappointing,... more

I spent just under a week at the Royal Pines in Surfer's & loved it. Mind you i was there for a work conference and so i did not mind that it was so inland i.e. it was not on the beach. I could tell it has been tailored for the Japanese tourist trade with the focus on Golf and... more
