Views were spectacular. Room was one of the nicest we have stayed. And that 100’s Pool area was lovely. In fact I can’t fault the hotel in any department

Novotel Surfers Paradise
Breakfast was nice, room was a bit disappointing, no door separating the two bedrooms and "bathroom sink" everything was open. Soundproof was bad could hear the clubbing music loud and clear on the street.
