Highlights

The Resort — Winner of Best Family Resort in Australia… nine years in a row!

Experience an unforgettable family holiday at the Paradise Resort Gold Coast — voted Australia’s Best Family Resort nine years in a row by leading family travel magazine Out & About with Kids. Fresh from a phenomenal $12-million-dollar refurbishment, this incredible, 100% smoke-free resort has a fresh new look with its upgraded foyer, restaurants, waterpark and redesigned rooms — elevating the whole property to a new level of style and quality. Step through the refreshed foyer and find a fun-filled family haven with plenty to keep all ages entertained.

Splash about in the three-storey Z4K Water Park, an incredible aquatic playground with slides, water cannons, climbing frames and more. Watch out for the giant tipping bucket that fills with 600 litres of water before emptying every few minutes over guests below in a giant (and hilarious) splash! Little ones can enjoy their own mini water park including a slippery slide and paddling pool with a gently sloping beach entry, while adults can plunge into the heated outdoor pool, sitting at a pleasant 27 degrees year-round.

Slide into the coolest place in the Gold Coast and book tickets for Planet Chill, Paradise Resort’s very own ice-skating rink. Big and little kids (aged three years and above) can escape the Queensland heat and take to the skates for an ‘icecapade’ at this year-round attraction, there are even fibreglass penguins to aid beginners. Afterwards, head downstairs to the refreshed, cute and quirky Penguins Restaurant for a relaxed dining experience where even the pickiest eaters will find something they like. Alternatively, head to Deb’s Pizza Shack or Jerry’s Burger Bar for a feast, or fuel up with a freshly brewed barista coffee at the onsite café. Stock up on holiday essentials at the large onsite mini-mart, including snacks, ice-creams and bottle shop.

The fun doesn’t stop there: the resort offers everything for an action-packed family holiday, including laser tag, a jungle gym, games room, adventure park, climbing wall, live character shows and — if you’re staying between April and September — poolside movies. Adults can squeeze in some relaxation while the little ones have a blast at the Kids’ Club — the only in Australia to cater for ages 6 weeks to 12 years. Enjoy daily complimentary sessions available morning, afternoon and evening, allowing adults to enjoy some downtime poolside, with live music and frozen daiquiris.

The Mini Fun Park guarantees nonstop fun for under 12s. Blast off and explore the galaxy in Astro’s Space Station, trek the jungle in Dusty’s Safari Room, search for buried treasure in Under Water World or play in the Magic Garden’s colourful ball pit, where the Kids’ Club team of ‘Holiday Heroes’ provide an unrivalled activities program to entertain and engage. From pyjama parties and disco nights to arts, crafts and movies, there are endless opportunities for the young ones to make new friends and memories.

If you want to venture out, Paradise Resort is perfectly situated only moments from the Gold Coast’s beautiful beaches and the bustling hub of Surfers Paradise. Head out for an action-packed day at the region’s iconic theme parks including Sea World, Wet ‘N’ Wild and Dreamworld, or immerse yourselves in nature with rainforest walks and wildlife sanctuaries.

If you have kids, this is the place. Paradise Resort exceeded all expectations from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxing, making it the perfect getaway for families, couples, or anyone looking to recharge. The staff are warm, attentive, and go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcome. The facilities are outstanding with beautifully maintained pools, exciting kids’ activities, and plenty of entertainment for all ages. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that make the stay even more enjoyable. Dining was a highlight, with fresh and delicious options that catered to every taste. What really stood out was the sense of fun and relaxation blended together. Whether it was lounging by the pool, joining in family games, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, every day felt special. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

5 Night stay including Dreamworld and sky lounge pass….. This hotel is probably the closest thing kids will get to a P&O cruise on land. Everything you need is here: a large pool area where you can relax with a bar drink from your sun lounge while watching the kids play safely in an enclosed space, plus food options and a kids club. The rooms are neat and practical rather than glamorous, but the shower pressure is excellent. It’s about a 20-minute walk from Surfers. Dining choices are limited to the on-site restaurant, a pizza place, and a Mexican spot. My five-year-old had an absolute blast, which made the stay well worth it.

The resort itself would get 4 stars, the rooms would get 1 (or 0). Resort overall - We very much enjoyed our time here. The resort is lovely and the staff are wonderful. The pool is amazing, there's rock climbing and a cool games room. It's easy to get around. If there are any issues the staff are very attentive and friendly and great with the kids. There is room for improvement but there were only a couple of things that bugged me. One being that the resort is cashless, so kids can't use their pocket money to buy things, and there are card surcharges even though they don't give you a cash option. The activities book out very quickly, so you need to plan you days in advance and can't just go with the flow. We didn't get to do any activities while we were there. The rooms - I honestly wasnt expecting much but they didn't even meet my very low standards. Our room was filthy. The carpet was so sticky we had to wear shoes inside and the room smelled really bad. We kept the veranda door open the whole time because it felt like we were breathing in toxic air. Our friends were staying in a different wing and their room was fine, so maybe we just got a dud. The rooms don't have plates or cutlery. This is a basic expectation for even the lowest standard of hotel.
