Highlights

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

Experience an unforgettable family holiday at Paradise Resort Gold Coast — voted Australia’s Best Family Resort ten years in a row by leading family travel magazine Holidays with Kids. Fresh from a phenomenal 12-million-dollar refurbishment, this incredible, 100% smoke-free resort has a new look, with an 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 temperature 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.

I'll start with, overall this was a great family resort and I would recommend it to any family with young kids aged from preschool to early teens. We just got home from our first family holiday to the Gold Coast with our two boys (6 and 9). The room we had in Captains Quarters was ok. It had minimal in room facilities and the beds weren't very comfortable (one was worse than the other). This is where our negatives of of the resort stopped. There is a large variety of food options that can cater to most people's needs. Most of the food that we ate was pretty good. The endless attractions and activities available were amazing. By the end of our stay we found ourselves racing back to the resort in the afternoons to catch the Kahoot trivia, games and movie on the big screen. The water park was very similar to what was available in the kids area of Wet 'n' Wild, so it kept the kids entertained once we returned from the theme parks. All of the staff were kind, friendly and helpful. A special mention goes to Johnny from the Captains Crew. He was a great activity host. The best was to sum him up in two words would be "The Simpsons" - Plenty of entertainment for the kids and just the right amount of whitty humour to give the parents a laugh aswell. Thank you for providing a great family holiday location. We will be back again one day. 👍😃

Paradise Resort is a fantastic place for kids, and we enjoyed our stay. The location is great, and there’s no shortage of activities to keep children entertained. The kids club and silent disco were the highlights for our kids who absolutely loved them The main downside for us was the food at the restaurant. The vegetarian options were very limited, and the quality wasn’t great. For example, we ordered the vegetarian nachos for lunch one day and received nothing more than corn chips with sour cream, packet guacamole, and cheese sauce. No beans, salsa, or real cheese so was a bit disappointing. The continental buffet breakfast is super basic as well amd quite generic and bland but there were options to pay extra for hot cooked options but seemed a bit over priced Another issue was that our room was never cleaned or towels changed unless we called to request it. On the days we didn’t call, no one came at all, so I’m not sure what happened there. Overall, though, it’s a great resort for families with young children. It’s not really the place to go if you’re hoping to relax, the pools are quite small and get very crowded, and there’s constant noise and activity from morning to night. It honestly feels a bit like being inside an episode of Cocomelon but since we came for the kids and they had a great time, we were happy with that. If the resort improved its food menu (with more variety and better quality) and added a few quiet or chill out areas for parents, it would make for a much better all round experience. There was some construction happening during our stay, and it looks like they’re building a new pool, so we’re keen to see how it turns out once completed.

Great family friendly resort. Very relaxed atmosphere, considering there were so many young children, the staff were so friendly and accommodating! So many activities for the kids they will not be bored for a minute. We stayed over Halloween and they did so many little activities, played music, had trick or treating through the resort and even a 'haunted' spooky train ride. The pool, spa and waterparks kept the kids and us as parents busy most of the day, but close location to the beach and Cavill Ave kept us busy the rest of our time. Our kids are a little older, if you had younger kids you really wouldn't need to leave the resort at all. They also have a good arcade, indoor & outdoor playgrounds, mini mart, and Kids Club. Our room in Captains Quarters was modern, clean and good location, negative was no vent in the bathroom so very steamy and wet when you showered, water would also run out of the shower. The only negatives of our stay, the food and drinks are expensive (you could bring alot of your own food, drinks & snacks but we didn't) and where our room was located was right near the pool and play area, so we had parents and kids being very loud until 10pm and from 6am in the morning each day. If you want peace and quiet don't book near there! Noise restrictions are from 10pm-7am so I guess nothing really wrong with it. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go again with friends or family to make it even better. So much better than just a normal hotel near the beach when you have kids. Hope this review helps!

Rooms at captain quarters are unbelievably bad, old and outdated. The carpets/curtains were just gross. For the price we paid, we could have stayed at the Meriton or anywhere nicer and cleaner. We even found a cockroach in the room. There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom, it’s perpetually wet and yucky with little black moths everywhere and mould around the rim of the sink. There are no reminder signs about the hot water from the taps especially since this is a kids resort. The body wash was not topped up until we requested for it. The room lights are sooo dim, making the room incredibly dark at night. The aircon compressor on the balcony is so rusty. There is no life guards at the pool area, (again it’s a kids resort), even if it’s the parents responsibility to care for own kids, we feel life guards are still important. The pavers at the car park exit had no signs to indicate a narrow driveway out, it was just weirdly structured. Overall we regretted booking this resort, we couldn’t wait leave. It might be good for kids who may enjoy the activities but the place needs a complete revamp.
