Novotel Surfers Paradise
There was a mixup with our room but the staff handled it exceptionally well. The renovation is nice but there are some design floors which means the showers always flood. I wouldn’t bother with this hotel again except that the staff are so amazing.

The pools and games room were the stand out as well as location. Room was dated and not ‘deluxe’ as per our booking… toilet struggled to flush and bath seemed to take ages for water to drain away
