Tweed Ultima Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This is the first time we stayed at Tweed Ultima Apartment and it won’t be the last. The apartment is well situated with short walking distances to shops and beach. The apartment is very spacious and kitchen is well equipped. We have a nice sunset view from the living areas. The bed is so comfortable. Convenient bus stop to Gold Coast airport. Very helpful and friendly front desk ( Brett). As my husband said, “ what more do you want?”"

The Pink Hotel Coolangatta

8/10 Good

"Quirky place to stay, but I’m glad it was only for one night and a Monday. It was noisy enough without the bar below being opened. Poor design with no where to hang towels in bathroom, a shower curtain that resulted in a flooded floor and no bathroom exhaust fan. Overpriced but in a great spot. To cap it off the reception person left reception at checkout time so that multiple people were left waiting and in the end most of us just walked out leaving our keys on the desk."

Rainbow Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location , close to Airport , beaches, buses"
