Top Ripley's Believe It or Not Hotel Reviews

Artique Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was pleasingly good. Well appointed and decorated. We were on the 24th floor with a fantastic sea/city view. Walking to Cavill Ave was about 10 minutes along the beach. Beach was good and had flags for the kids. Northcliffe Surf Lifesaving around the corner was on point for breakfast. Good gym, pool and sauna. Parking underneath for cars. It is in a bit of a construction zone currently, but this didn't bother us at all as we were up early/ish. I'd stay again."

Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic, but overall the stay didn’t justify the price. The room felt dated, and the TV in the bedroom didn’t work. Check-in was frustrating as we were told a physical credit card was required, despite many people now relying on digital wallets. They ultimately accepted a debit card and processed it as a standard transaction anyway, making the initial insistence seem unnecessary. While the room appeared clean at first glance, travelling with a crawling baby quickly revealed dust, hair and dirt on the floors, which was disappointing. Housekeeping also came during nap time each day, making servicing inconvenient. For a beachside property, I was surprised that the floors weren’t mopped regularly given the amount of sand guests naturally bring in. Overall, a great location, but the property is becoming dated and doesn’t offer the value you’d expect for the price."

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and reasonable price. Very clean with excellent staff too. Facilities were great, will definitely book here again. Only pitfall is parking….they must have too many permanent residence and so no parking for visitors unless your in a penthouse, I didn’t like this at all."

Tiki Hotel Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay! Kids absolutely loved the pool, slide and spa bath in the bedroom. It’s an older hotel, so not in perfect/new condition which is fantastic when you’ve got 3 kids with you. The hotel was very spacious with heaps of places to sleep. I asked for extra towels and they brought them up so fast! Great location as well, excellent views of the river. Took only 5 mins to walk into Cavill ave. Fully stocked kitchen as well if you wanted to cook and a full sized fridge. Also has wifi and smart TV’s , so we could watch Netflix which you don’t always get in hotels. Absolutely loved our stay and we would stay again. There was also SO much storage inside the hotel!"
