“Amazing for familys and young kids. They put a microwave in our room to help with bottles and offered to set up cot. Water park and pool was just awesome. Great shaded seats for adults. Staff great. Rooms great. Buffet was great for the price. Location to walk through to the Seaworld park was good, but tske stroller etc as a bit long for young ones. They could work on more kid friendly cafe in the main lobby. But we will definately be back as absolutely loved our stay!”
“Check in was fast, staff communication was awesome throughout the two days me and my family stayed. Staff greeted us from the time we arrived to the time we checked out. All staff were friendly & helpful. Dinner & breakfast tasted amazing. Our kids are autistic, everything was cater for to their needs from the food they ate to the pools/water park & playground that they were entertained with. The room was clean, nice & cosy! Will definitely stay again, thank yous to the sea world resort for me & my family. Kind regards, Shilo.”
“What an amazing experience at SeaWorld Resort! All the staff were super friendly and helpful during our stay. The rooms were beautiful and well looked after. Biggest shout out to Monica at the reception desk who was so lovely and kind to my three year old and myself and took the time to chat with her and gift her with the most memorable items of our trip. Your kindness and warmth made our days! Such a convenient way to stay and play with little ones without missing the luxury for the adults! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Amazing room. Close to the kids splash pad. Clean and well set out. Loved the music and face painting at dinner. Overall was the most relaxing part of our holiday because the kids were so happy. Buffet breakfast was super fresh and a really good quality. I wish we booked for longer!”
“Our first time dining in Shoreline at Sea World Resort, and the experience was absolutely amazing! We can’t express how grateful we are for the wonderful hospitality we received. The food was delicious, and the staff were exceptional. There are so many people we’d love to mention, but a special thank you to Serena, Montana and Johana for providing outstanding customer service and making us feel so welcome. A huge shoutout as well to Lorene, the team leader for leading such an incredible team. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and our nephew was overjoyed celebrating his birthday here. The memories we made will stay with us for a long time. Thank you so much to everyone at Shoreline and Sea World Resort for making our stay so special!”
“Wow, what an experience! From the moment we checked in we felt so welcomed. All staff have been positive and helpful. In particular, Montana went above and beyond to ensure we had the most enjoyable dinner experience and helped to entertain our 6yo child. Such a brilliant family focused resort. Great food and service.”
“We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Sea World Resort Gold Coast! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a fun-filled day. The resort facilities were excellent, especially the pool and family-friendly activities. Having such convenient access to Sea World and the nearby theme parks made our holiday stress-free and exciting. The dining options were great, with plenty of choices for both adults and children. The resort is known for its family-focused atmosphere, on-site dining, and easy access to the Gold Coast theme parks. What stood out most was the friendly service and attention to detail from every team member we encountered. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We highly recommend Sea World Resort to families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun and relaxing Gold Coast getaway. We can't wait to come back!”
