“Excellent experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

I had to stay on or near Broadbeach on the Gold Coast for a meeting over a weekend in school holidays - all the hotel rooms right on the coast were either booked up, or twice as expensive as this resort. Holiday apartments were only available for 5 or 7 day lets.

But I had a car, and what a difference a few miles makes. By going inland a few minutes drive, I got a far far better deal. The room was a lot cheaper, large, well appointed, no problems (unlike lots of facilities right on the coast where Tripadvisor reivewers had flagged problems). Nice and quiet at night, good facilities, no problems at all. Unlike some people, I didnt find the decor dated - in my room it was new and fresh-looking. My internet was free (400 MB/day limit). Some others have commented on the size of the balconies. My balcony stretched the width of the room, and was 5ft deep - fine for sitting outside with a drink, but not enough for a whole family with children to live outside if they were renting it for a holiday week. Restaurant buffet was of a reasonable standard. I'd certainly highly recommend it for a business trip, and for a couple (with a car) as a base for seeing the Gold Coast.

“Staff very good - a little dated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

My wife and I stayed here for a week at the end of January 2012 through a timeshare exchange. The location of the resort is as people say, a little out, but this is not a criticism this is what we expected and were fine with it, there is a lot to do in the surrounding area, a car is a must.

The hotel is looking dated, I often wonder how much it would cost to replace the furniture in the rooms as it was scratched and worn, and would totally transform the whole feel. The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff very nice although we didn't have too much to do with them. There were tourist groups staying during our time, Koreans and Chinese, on the positive side this made the facilities more available lots of the guests on tours would be out all day, on the downside the dinner buffet was chaos and would recommend avoiding if a tour party is in town.

A few things to improve on - bar service by the pool is needed, and the internet cost at $15 and you only get 200 MB of download for that is a joke and a rip off, that barely covers sending a few e-mails these days with some mid size attachments.

We got our weeks stay at a rate of around $70 per night for which it was good value for money, overall an OK hotel.

“Radisson Carrara”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed here overnight during the Christmas period. The service was fantastic (although restaurant staff could have done with a bit of a polishing, and a smile doesn't hurt). We were upgraded to a golf course view room on check-in which was an added bonus - we were lucky to even get a room at such short notice we thought. Beautiful swimming pool and grounds, our room was nice and big and well kitted out. The complimentary bottle of bubbles was enjoyed by me, perhaps a little too much. Would definitely recommend the resort to couples wanting a romantic quiet getaway out of the main Gold Coast hustle and bustle, to families, or to golf fans.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a golf course view.

“Unbelievable Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

What a very pleasant surprise.
I make regular short trips to the Gold Coast, but had not previously considered the Radisson.
I was under the impression that Carrara was too far. Well, was I wrong! The Gold Coast is actually quite small and nothing is really more than 20 minutes away.

The room (Courtyard) was large, with a super Kingsize bed. The spa bath was fabulous!

Breakfast at $17.50 was good value.
The pool area lovely.

No fees for parking. Yeah!

Excellent value at a bargain price.

Highly recommend.

Room Tip: Two courtyard rooms in the hotel. Ours was large with a lovely private courtyard with 2 sunloungers.
