Quick and Comfortable Gold Coast Trip

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Aug 2024
Perfect location for this short Gold Coast trip. Our room and bathroom were very spacious and overlooked the pool. The complex had great amenities including a restaurant with a full buffet breakfast. We loved the Thai prawn spring rolls for a late lunch and Beef Cheek dinner special, so compliments to the chef. We would definitely recommend and stay at the Mermaid Waters Hotel by Nightcap Plus again.

      This place presented really well, and ticked all the boxes for all anyone needed, and the staff was amazing they were extremely helpful with any needs and worked super well under a lot of pressure on a night with full house restaurant and a whole boxing event full of hungry patrons they worked calmly and super quick and efficient and the food was great. I’m a qualified chef who has been in the industry for 30 years and watching how the restaurant staff coped was impressive. The reception and event staff were very friendly, inviting and professional and the cleaners had our room clean and ready when we arrived early.
      Great job you smashed it!

      Keri and her staff went above and beyond for our family group that was 50+ of us and most of them came from Sydney, NZ and Perth .. Our rooms were beautiful, nice and cool when we all arrived at different times on check-in day, the facilities offered were choice, the laundry was perfect for washing n drying n i didnt mind paying 5.00 each for the service, the pool was used by us all specially the kids with unlimited pool towels, the buffet breakfast was yummy and such a great selection, Keri greeting us every morning with a smile and a lil chat goes a long way in my books, the meals offered in the restaurant were nice, very plentiful on the plate, service at the bar for drinks and coffee were good, parking at that time we stayed was a race for a park, cleanliness of rooms every day was impeccable so overall, Mermaid Waters was outstanding for us and most specially with Keri and her staff ..

      Hotel room was nice, breakfast good, but the hotel failed to honor the offer that I bought: Package inclusions:
      Bottle of sparkling wine - Didn't offer until I asked over and over.
      Daily buffet breakfast - Provided and was good
      Complimentary shuttle to beach & Pacific Fair Shopping Centre - not provided which meant a lot of uber costs
      Welcome cocktail per adult - not provided
      Bottle of wine on arrival - not provided
      Choice of either 12pm early check-in or midday checkout - asked for early checking, but not provided
      Inclusions valid for two adults I spoke to the manager who said she had to check with head office about the inclusions that they offered. She never got back to me with an answer.
      Beware staying here and what they offer in your package.

      Room tip: Beware of any extras that this hotel offers to you.

      This was a nice place, it was lucky I got a good deal with 1 of my online memberships. It turns out it was 100% a good decision too choosing to stay here also with the business I was in the area for. The breakfast thrown in was amazing!! I loved it too

      Room tip: If you're travelling on public transport, there's bus stops nearby. The bond they prefer to do electronically & room payment so it's easier?

      Firstly I would congratulate the photographer for his photo enhancement on some exotic looking pictures. Nothing like real thing! The room was obviously kitted out for handicapped people - drab and oversized. The bed was soft and springless…2 singles not an extra large double. 1st night we decided to eat at the restaurant, waited over an hour for our Barramundi which I have to say when it finally arrived, certainly did not justify the price tag…and the brown sauce on the salad…who knows! The redeeming factor would have to be the breakfast - FOR FREE AND EDIBLE!
      3rd night no sleep due to a bus load of Asian tourists that kept us awake all night with people arguing and children screaming and playing in the passage.
      All in all not what I would expect from a 4**** hotel.
      Staff were good and helpful.
