I arranged as part of Honeymoon to stay at the Crowne Plaza through Holiday Special Packages. The package included 5 nights, complementry bottle of wine, buffet breakfast everyday, 3 lunches and 3 dinners at their restaurants, a buffet dinner and show at Jupiters Casino and a Gondola cruise on gold coast waterways. I was then also able to upgrade to the Gold Tower and also extend the stay 1 night plus another free (Pretty awesome package and really good price).

As it was our Honeymoon I surprised my wife by being picked up at the airport and staying at the Palazzo Versace for two nights (she only thought we were staying at the Crowne the whole time). When it was time to check out of the Versace I had arranged a hire car (a Mini Cabrio, my wife favourite car that she wants to own) and after a day at Movie World, checked into the Crowne Plaza.

Right from check-in to check-out, the Staff were to most friendly and helpful hotel staff i've ever come across (even better than Palazzo Versace). Everything was sorted from the bags, car parking (we came in and out so many times i thought the staff would be sick of us but they were always friendly and smiling), package vouchers, meals and local information.

We stayed in the deluxe spa king room in the Gold Tower. The set may not have been as stylish and fashionable as the Versace but the room was still great. Large, spacious, comfy king bed and balcony with great views to over the beach.

We used all our meal vouchers at the Four Winds Revolving Restaurant because the buffet spread was just so huge and tasty. Only wish the spread would change each day.

The only downfall of the Crowne would be the location to the main areas as its exactly half way inbetween Surfers and Broadbeach so its a 20 minute walk each way, but we had the car most the time so it didn't bother us too much.

I can't comment on what Crowne's direct packages and prices are but if they're anything like Holiday Special Packages then the Crowne is a great bargin. I will definately be back again in the future (maybe for our anniversary?). Fantastic Hotel!

5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights early December 2007. The room I had was on the 20th floor (20-06) and was very nice. The room was large with a 32 inch Sony Lcd tv, the bathroom had a huge shower and a seperate spa bath. The room was very clean and in good condition.

The location may be a problem for some people as the hotel is a good 15 minute walk away from the heart of Surfers Paradise but only 10 mins in the other direction is the Broadbeach end. There is however a bus stop right outside the hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel twice in the past 3 years and I have never had any problems. I would stay here again if I return to the gold coast.

“What a beautiful room”

4/4 found this review helpful

We couldn't have been happier with the room we were given. We were lucky enough to get a corner room which had views to the south, west and east. The marble bathroom was huge, with a panel of windows with magificent views. The Red earth cosmetics were a real bonus. The room was classifed as a Queen room but had a King size bed in it, which was very comfortable. The pillows were not so comfortable but there was a pillow menu to choose from if the pillows supplied were not to your liking.The buffet breakfast was great,: the egg bar where you could put an order in specific to indiviual tastes was brilliant; the juicer to make your own fresh juice was great; and the coffees to choose from in the morning were also a bonus.
All in all one of the most comfortable stays we have had, and we have travelled lots.

“Crown Plaza Gold Towers A+++++++++”

Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise

Oct 21, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

This hotel has to be one of the best in the Gold Coast. Staff was polite and very helpful. Location was great because its between surfers and broadbeach so you get the best of both locations. The main street of surfers is only like a 3min busride! We stayed in the king spa room, room tidy and spacious, cleaned every day, beautiful views from the balcony, comfortable bed and pillows, wonderful bathroom. We had the perfect stay thanks to this hotel. Only downfall is the spa in this room isnt really big enough for two people to lay in and relax, its more of a one person spa. The pools were pretty nice and had lots of space to sunbake and relax. The gym also could be improved and updated, thats the only other little downfall but overall excellent expierience!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The room was lovely and the view from the balcony was gorgeous
    • Disliked — The gym facility and the fact the spa in the room was to small for two people

Very poor overall experience -- long delays in checkin, room not available for threehours after due, hotel staff who were polite but under-trained and unable to do anything to help... made even worse when they double booked my room and I walked out of the shower to find a couple setting up in my bedroom!
Overall falls well short of star rating, with small not terribly clean rooms and high prices. There are much better places on the coast for this money
