Mercure Gold Coast Resort
Room and staff were great Thank you. Yet the food was very poor, not even 1 star rating, plus far far too over priced for what was given and was not fresh. Sorry. Just the truth.

Elite Gold Coast
This is part of the KDV Sport complex. Nice room, good bed, clean, BUT the bathroom we had basically had a postcard sized shelf for toiletries (seriously). The sink is square, quite small, and only a small space for a bar of soap. Sure, it does have a medicine cabinet but that won't hold my toiletries ...

Great location for beach, restaurants and shops. Two pools and a hot tub. Breakfast buffet was great. Would recommend. Hotel is right on the tram line which makes it simple to get to south broadbeach or the other way to main beach.
