“Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise impresses with its sheer scale, rising 75 stories above the Gold Coast and putting guests directly across from Surfers Paradise Beach. I think the spacious suites-complete with full kitchens and laundry-make this an especially appealing option for families. The multiple pools and on-site dining add to the resort feel, but the location puts you right in the middle of the action.”

amazing ocean viewhelpful staffclean homefingerprintsfirm mattresshalf toilet paper
The hotel HAS an amazing ocean view. I found the staff very helpful and friendly. It Reminded me of a home away from home. Super tidy too.
I noticed fingerprints left on the glassware AND the toilet paper was less than half on the roll. The bed mattress was very firm. Both myself and my partner WERE not comfortable sleeping in the bed which was a let down. The biggest downside WAS this bed.

Fantastic Stay!

perfect locationappealing aestheticfriendly staffleaking air conditioning
The location was superb. It was just a short walk to everything I needed. The building presented a very appealing aesthetic with its design. I also appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help.
I noticed the air conditioning was leaking slightly onto the bed. I reported this, and maintenance addressed it promptly. the issue persisted to a small extent.

Rooms

My room included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, really useful after a day at the beach. The full-sized fridge was a bonus, especially when traveling with family, and it allowed for easy storage of groceries and snacks. Each room has a coffee machine.
Location

The beach is only two minutes away, nice for quick and easy access. The hotel is near multiple shops and restaurants, so you can find plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. Public transport is very close, this makes exploring the area convenient.
