Top hotels in Main Beach
Sea World Resort
Kids loved it, staff were good, rooms need a bit of repair and the water view room had a glimpse of the Broadwater from the balcony only. We paid full rate for a night which wasn’t great value but going on a normal time with plenty of notice wouldn’t be too bad at normal nightly rates

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast
Room was a bit outdated, and no hot water which was a bummer, we had a villa. But the grounds are beautiful and the food was epic! Staff were also so beautiful friendly and accommodating.
