“Bay Of Palms stands out with its lakeside setting near some of Australia's safest beaches, creating a relaxing environment, in my opinion. The family-oriented resort includes a solar-heated pool and recreation facilities, though some accommodations show their age based on what I read. Its location is certainly convenient, close to both shopping and Gold Coast's popular attractions.”
