Hiya

We stayed at Main beach (just along from Sanctuary Cove, less than 5mins in the car)) when we went, the Xanadu apartments, they were ok but nothing to really rave about but I liked the area. Just round the corner was Tedder Avenue, where they are plenty of restaurants for all tastes and budgets.

We had great views of the sea and beach, lovely to lie in bed and hear the waves Easy to get to Surfers along the beach front, although I was not mad on Surfers in general!

Easy enough to get to other areas from there, we would happily stay in Main Beach again if we go.

Sorry but there is NO WAY Main beach is 5 mins from Sanctuary Cove!! Maybe 25!!

However the Xanadu is fab ( we stayed there twice including the month on arrival with our 1 way ticket!) A lovely end of the coast and not too far from the boat show..

Yep, you're right, sorry

Blame it on tiredness, it took us about 20 mins from Hope Harbour which is a bit nearer than SC, so not sure where I got the 5 from!

thanks Sam sounds like a nice area

Possums

been hanging out to see if any cheaper deals came up and have booked a 3 bed skyroom at Ultra Broadbeach, worked out same price as 1 bed per couple. It looks nice hope I've made a good choice

Sammy T

Have a good time

Palazzo Versace actually have some fab deals at the minute have a look at their website to see them. Bloody nice hotel, we have stayed several times and it's worth the bit extra. The Hyatt as Sanctuary Cove is also really nice, good sized rooms and the lagoon pool is great for relaxing at. Riveria always site a luxury boat in the middle for the boat show which is cool. The restaurants and bars in the village are very good. It will be busy with the boat show but still nice in the evenings when the crowds leave.

We stay at Broadbeach when we go to the Gold Coast because it is easy to get to a lot of places from there including Surfers (if you must) and Burleigh and the surrounding areas.

We have always stayed at the Talisman Apartments which is right on the beach and has spectacular views of the coast along with excellent facilities.

Thank you Sam we will

would have loved to stay at the Versace but bit expensive for 5 nights I'll keep buying the lotto tickets, cheers

thanks I've actually booked Ultra Broadbeach now, looked at Talisman but they didnt have the rooms we needed. Got good reviews though

Not going this year but it would be interesting to see exactly what Riviera are showing or how many orders they get. I wouldn't order anything from them at the moment and they've always been a huge part of the GC show.

Don't know the hotel Possums but am sure you'll have a great time.

Possums

I'll try and find out. They were a huge part of the Sydney one too.

hope there is interest in the boat from here, they've been working flat out to get it finished.

its apartments not a hotel, some other people decided to come with us so thought apartment would be easier
