InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort by IHG
Was disappointed during my last stay, and had hoped things had improved this stay. It’s obvious some renovation has happened but sadly the main building and ‘beach’ pool need a refurb.

Novotel Surfers Paradise
Central location was nice. Bathroom was not clean when I arrived. Dealt with when I let them know. Wifi not great. Couldn’t even go out on balcony without losing it. Pool not available during stay - had to go to another hotel. Breakfast food but very expensive - $45
