We stayed for a week during our holidays in January and found it very close to Cavell Avenue and the main shopping strips, just a short bus ride to Pacific Fair and Draculas. The staff were very helpful, the rooms were quite spacious and the pool area was nice. We did find a few things left behind from other guests... More

We stayed for 7 nights on a one bedroom apartment and found positive and negative points about this resort. The living area was quite small, more like a studio size than a 1 bedroom. The bedroom was a good size with a large double bed that was comfortable. Check in was fine and we found the staff helpful and pleasant... More

as with 220tasha, my sister who arrived from Darwin @ 6.00am was able to book into our rooms on arrival. Our interconnecting rooms were just fine. Although the kitchen isn't as stocked as mine there was ample, besides we ate in the restaurant a number of mornings and evenings. The food was great, value for money, friendly, attentive staff. It... More

We arrived early in the morning and thought we may have to come back later at check in time, but our room was ready and we were able to go straight up to our fourth floor room. (handy with a toddler after a very early morning and flight from Melbourne) First impressions were great and thankfully stayed that way. I... More

While this place used to be a nightmare under former management, after it went into receivership and was taken over the new owners are much more pleasant to deal with and actually make an attempt to maintain the place to a reasonably standard. It is getting a bit dated though and one of the lifts kept breaking down meaning we... More

I have been to many places, internationally and in Australia and have stayed at a range of star rating places and would have to say that Paradise Island resort is unfortunately the worse I have come across. We travelled up to Surfers with two young children (6 and 9) and stayed at this resort. We were looking for a self... More
