The Island Gold Coast - Surfers Paradise, Queensland

My partner and I only stayed for one night and it wasn't as nice as we hoped it would be. Our room felt a bit dirty and rundown. I found a chewed off fingernail next to the bed. And the shower flooded the bathroom floor when in use, there was hair in the sink and just overall needed a better deep clean. We also decided to go to the rooftop bar to use our free drink vouchers. The service there was horrible. We waited in line and when we finally got to the front, both of the women serving, saw us and completely ignored us, and just served everyone else Not a nice experience, so we just ended up leaving. Also it's 25 dollars to park your car, which is whatever. But that is not mentioned when you book. Overall really overpriced for what you get.

Great location for exploring surfers, wouldn't suggest as family hotel due to loud music from bar till late but I've never been bothered by people having fun so wasn't an issue for me.

Rooms a little tired around the edges, would consider staying again

Bars are great and food was fresh and hot, didn't have, but pizza's looked good!

Stayed as a family of 3 (with a 3yo) for 2 nights in November. Staff were welcoming.|The hotel is part of The Island pub. |Somewhat clean (found random false lashes on the sink) and no odd smell. |We booked the King Suite which had lots of space. Appreciated the kitchen and balcony. 5min walk to the main surfers Paradise Beach so it didnt bother us. Its also right across a shopping centre (with woolworths at the lowest level and enjoyed food nearby from Usok and Velaa cafe)|We also hired a hrie for a day from Daves rental across the road - whcih we alsi recommend.|2 min walk from tram stop. |Would come back here again.

If we were to enjoy our Wedding day one more time we would have no one else except Destiny and the team at the Island to support us, guide us, and help us have the BEST wedding ever. Words would not do justice for the effort, consideration, humility and experience that Destiny brings to the table.

We had torrential rain the day before and the selected room was not appropriate. Destiny called proactively to guide us through our options with available function rooms. We moved to the Penthouse.

The weather turned out perfect the next day which was a nice surprise. The room set up was perfect. Destiny co ordinated the team flawlessly to suit the change of rooms. Our guests spoke so highly of the venue, the service and the food, all 10/10. We chose the family style feast and it could not have been better.

The hotel rooms were modern and comfortable.
The Rooftop is also a great place to meet your guests after your wedding.

The price may seem slightly higher than the market and in the end we appreciated paying more as we felt like everything truly was taken care of.

Thank you to Destiny and everyone that made our wedding an unforgettable day.

We recently had our wedding reception at The Island in The Penthouse space. Destiny and the events team are seriously some of the best in the business. Incredibly accommodating making us feel like the only couple in the world to ever get married there! The food and drinks are incredible quality! Our guests say it is one of the best weddings they have been to. Definitely recommend The Island to anyone looking to host an event or for a central place to stay in Surfers Paradise.

We recently had our wedding at The Island Gold Coast, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we checked in, the hotel rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and just what we needed to relax and prepare for our big day.

A huge shoutout to our Wedding Coordinator Destiny and Wedding Manager Jenna—they went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. Despite the venue hosting three weddings on the same day, we never felt rushed or overlooked. They were attentive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day as special as possible.

All of the hotel staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful, contributing to what was the best weekend ever! Thank you to everyone at The Island for making our wedding so memorable. Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning their special day!
