Hotel reviews
Only a short walk from the beach, and a hop, skip and jump away from the region’s popular theme parks, Turtle Beach Resort is the go-to for a memorable Gold Coast holiday experience.
Located in the ultra-family-friendly Mermaid Beach area on the Gold Coast, Turtle Beach Resort is a four-star delight with everything a family needs and more, only 300 metres from the beachfront. Nestled among 4.5 hectares of lush, landscaped gardens, the resort offers fully self-contained one- to four-bedroom apartments, catering for every size family. Each has a private balcony or patio that overlooks the property.
Room for everyone
Each spacious apartment features laundry facilities, air-conditioned and heated living areas and ceiling fans in bedrooms, making this ideal accommodation all year-round.
For travellers wanting to eat out, a short expedition along the Gold Coast Highway will yield bountiful results. Guests might not even make it that far, though, as the apartments feature full kitchen facilities, including an oven, cooktop, microwave and dishwasher, complete with crockery, cutlery and cookware. The Deck Restaurant & Bar is also open alongside the on-site convenience store, so there’s almost no need to leave the premises.
Family-friendly digs
The moment you step into Turtle Beach Resort, the aura of buzzing excitement is palpable. The feeling intensifies once guests realise the sheer extent of family-centric activities on offer. Move over Wet’n’wild; kids will be wowed at the on-site Splash Zone Waterpark with its four water slides, two toddler slides, dumping bucket and water cannons. Let’s not forget the four separate swimming areas, four spas, gated kids’ areas, playground, 15-hole putt-putt golf course, 22-seat cinema and arcade games room. Kids from four to 12 can also play the day away at Club Turtle Kids’ Club. Meanwhile, adults have the chance to be pampered at Chelonia Day Spa, or work up a sweat at the fitness room, which is decked out with the latest equipment. Looking for even more? Guests can book tours, transfers, and tickets to the theme parks and more at the Tour Desk, which is open daily. For more information turtlebeach.com.au
