Wings was a fantastic choice for a week’s stay in Surfers. It's perfectly located - a 10 minute walk into Cavill Avenue or the other way into Broadbeach and a 2 minute walk to the beach. It means you get to choose whether you want to get caught up in the action of Surfers or not...
The closest beaches tend to get cool after 2.30pm due to the shadows of the skyscrapers extending across the beach, and the pool is located to the east of the Wings building making it shaded after 2pm so we would recommend pool time in the morning and then a walk to Broadbeach in the afternoon for beach time.
Highlights:
- Lovely pool and surrounding area
- BBQ area is great. There is a booking system for the BBQs and tennis court which works very well
- Staff were courteous and very professional
- Room was ready early (I'd let them know our flight details in advance and despite the fact that we were checking in on the 27th Dec when they had dozens of people checking in the staff organised for our room to be ready when we arrived)
- We had a one bedroom apartment that was huge, comfortable and very practically laid out. Friends were staying in one of the newest apartments in the heart of Surfers on the beach and despite the millions of dollars price tag for their apartment, our apartment was bigger (although their views couldn't be surpassed)!
- The apartment is well equipped, everything was working properly. You can hire a DVD player from reception if you have time to watch DVDs. An extra tea towel would be nice...
- Everyone staying there was relaxed and friendly. So whenever we got back to Wings we'd feel like we'd come back home
- The building, gym, pool, tennis court, apartments, everything is very well maintained
- Staff allowed us to use the facilities after we checked out until we were scheduled to go to the airport some hours later
We've been to Surfers heaps of times and stayed in a different hotel every time, and whilst there's never been anything specifically wrong with the other hotels, Wings 'felt' the most comfortable. We'll definitely be visiting Wings again.
Room Tip: Request a room on the higher levels facing the beach. You will get the morning sun, shade in the aft...

Dear Eurofriends,
Many thanks for your recent posting on Trip Advisor.
It was great to read your review of our Resort - you have certainly painted a very detailed picture of the great facilities we have to offer, and the location which as you explained allows you to enjoy as much or as little of the Surfers action as you like.
We pride ourselves on the service we provide and it was therefore pleasing to hear of the service you received during your stay.
Once again thank you for your feedback and I certainly look forward to hosting you back at our resort some time in the future when you "come back "home".
Regards
Kerry Gribble
General Manager
