Never regret place
A strategic location you'll never find where you're in the centre of whatever you desire.
Food is everywhere from Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean, Hong Kees, Shanghainese, Indonesian, Turkish, Greeks, Italians, Americans, Aussies & Northern Indians. Shop till you drop along GoldCoast highway from cheap souvenirs, Warner Brother merchandise to exclusive reknown artist Ken Done casual attires. Hundreds of shops are all over. Till midnite the retailers are open for business. Just be wary of drunkards after 10pm cos they can be rough & violent especially 5 shops away behind Hard Rock Cafe. Very convenient for moving around as shuttle busses from hotel can bring you to any destinations like the 3 theme parks (Seaworld, Movieworld, Dreamworld) and to the casino too. I enjoyed dining in the restaurants and also during breakfast time. Sport facilities like tennis courts are available & we played overlooking a beautiful view, the awesome Surfers Paradise Main Beach. If you're there for your first time, book into Marriott. It's obviously the centre for your everything!!
