Great stay at The Island Hotel in Surfers Paradise. Perfect location, comfortable rooms and a really fun, relaxed vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and well looked after. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone wanting to be right in the heart of Surfers.
A superb beachside hotel. From check-in with the delightful receptionist through to a clean room, superb bathroom and balcony everything was excellent! Downstairs the bar and bar staff are excellent!
The Island is a beautiful hotel. It is in an amazing location. The staff are very helpful. The room service food was also delicious. I would definitely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms were clean. Staff was great. Central location.
Large lovely rooms, fast room service, restaurant and pool area was really nice and the food was great. Only negative is you can definitely hear the music from downstairs in your room, it’s not too too bad and my kiddos slept through but if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue. Will definitely stay again
