    There is some noise from the airport but I could definitely live with that in such an amazing setting.

    It is absolutely beautiful! So well maintained. Out of a movie! Staff were very accommodating. My daughter is Coeliac and they had options for her. We had breakfast and dinner there and she didn’t get glutened. Can’t recommend more! We will definitely be back. I took a towel from the lounges near the pool in the evening as I went for a quick dip with my legs. The towel was replaced by the next morning. Eye for detail!

    The only downside would be that we had to leave

    Our stay at the boutique hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Their warmth and hospitality were unparalleled, and it felt like they couldn't possibly do more to make our stay memorable. The room itself was stunning, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every aspect of the design. From the luxurious furnishings to the thoughtful amenities like beach towels and sun loungers outside the room, every little detail had been carefully considered. It truly felt like a luxurious retreat, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. We would highly recommend this boutique hotel to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway.

    Resort WiFi not working due to Network down.

    Very friendly and lovely staff and the outstanding service provided by them. From check-in time to check-out time and all the time in between, their undivided guest attention and excellent customer service go above and beyond. Excellent location. Only 20 mins walk, 2 mins by car or public transport to/from Gold Coast Airport. Public transport is literally outside the resort. Bus (700 - Coolangatta/Tweed Heads & 770 - Surfers Paradise). You literally step straight onto the beach from your doorstep. Very spotlessly clean and spacious bedroom & bathroom and tidy kitchenette and cooktop. Big screen TV (50 inches) to watch your favourite TV channels or movies. You can enjoy meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and/or quench your thirst at their beautiful boutique restaurant & bar. You can also ask for room service by their friendly and wonderful staff. To rid the aches and pains from your body, their magnesium swimming pool has all the answers. Even better, you can just leisurely catch tan whilst sipping cocktails around the pool before you exit the resort to board the plane to your next destination. "Tessa on The Beach" Thank you for allowing us to experience that upmost quality of service that is now embedded and etched in us whenever we discuss holiday destinations with the world. You are the best of the best. You are highly recommended.❤️❤️

Amazing beach front view to watch the sunrise in the morning. Thankyou so much for upgrading us to a different room, as the door code didn’t work, we cannot wait to come back!

    Nothing really.

    Loved the look and the feel, staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and comfortable with everything that we needed. You walked right onto the bike/walking pathway and then beach from the property. We chose to have our cocktails and nibbles during happy hour in their sitting area that looked over the beach. It was a perfect weekend getaway for us.

    The location was amazing - beachfront at the Gold Coast is not common. We received a free upgrade to the beachfront room, and our stay was delightful. Free bike hire was great, and being at the beachfront next to the path, we easily rode all the way to Greenmount Beach and back. The option of having cheese platters and drinks delivered pool side, or at the front lounges and hammocks was also a great option. The room was small, but cosy and clean and had lovely touches that made it feel special.
