• Michelangelo (8/5): - I like
• Thomas (10/5): Perfect - Staff made you feel good and welcome extremely friendly. The tv in my room only had normal tv and not all the smart apps kind of made the tv useless.
• Sky (10/5): -
• Salem (10/5): - Wow! Unbelievable place, super clean and fresh! Super friendly staff! Great location you got all options! Can’t wait till our visit☺️
• Byron (10/5): Perfect - Exceptional in every aspect. Dinner at nineteen was 5 star too
• Nicholas (10/5): Great time. Amazing hotel. Partner really enjoyed her stay. Would stay again. - The room was very luxurious. The bed very very comfortable. Friendly staff. Liked how you could close off the different areas of the room. Could have lights on and off without disturbing partner. Location was great in the heart of everything. I appreciated the valet car parking. Would stay there again. I didn’t like how you were forced to walk a fair distance through the casino floor just to get to the harvest buffet restuarant. Hotel could have done with a closer restaurant. I did not like the expensive price of the day spa. Did not feel I got value for money with the day spa treatment. Very expensive.
• Ross (9/5): Had a work function and hotel and room was worth the stay - The room was excellent and staff were also helpfull and happy Location
• Kim (10/5): -
• Brent (8/5): -
• Larissa (10/5): - This stunning hotel left me wishing I could stay another night! From the moment you step in, the hotel exudes comfort and privacy. The seated check-in desks give a nice personal touch upon arrival. I was lucky to be upgraded to a penthouse suite for my one night stay. The suite was simply “wow”. The attention to detail is wonderful - I was pleasantly surprised by bath salts arriving at just the right time as well as peppermint tea to wind down after a long day. The bathrooms were, like the rest of the suite, spotless and stocked with all the necessities and little luxuries such as hair straighteners. There was plentiful space to relax, including a wraparound balcony with great views across Broadbeach and a spacious living area. I didn’t have time to experience all of the hotel amenities on this short visit, and can’t wait to return to see all that it has to offer.
• kim (10/5): Stunning view ! - We were very lucky to be upgraded to the penthouse on our recent stay. The staffs were all very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and luxurious and with view of Gold Coast wrapped around the balcony . Nothing
• Ashleigh (10/5): I booked this for my friends 40th it was fantastic! I would definitely book the darling again - It was stunning! The room was spectacular! It’s close to everything! The breakfast was great fantastic value for money Nothing
• January (8/5): - The hotel itself is lovely, high quality and comfortable. I liked the fast lifts, spacious room and comfortable bed and bath. Chromecast and wifi connection to the TV didn't work so I was unable to watch anything on the TV. Within ten minutes of entering my room I received a knock to find a woman standing silently holding a bottle of water and chocolates. I don't know if she couldn't speak English but it wasn't clear what she wanted and was a little unnerving as she didn't say anything. A little further training required perhaps My included breakfast was not logged so I had to stand for almost 10 minutes to be let in (by which time of course the buffet was busy) The barista coffee at breakfast took a very long time and I had to remind them 2 times what I'd ordered. The signage to park at The Darling is not clear and you have to drive around the entire casino to get to the parking spot and then it is not clearly sign posted but it's valet parking. They really need to explain this clearer and some signs on the road around the casino would be appreciated. Overall a nice enough stay, but let down by the small touches which hold it back from truly being a 5 star establishment.
• Alex (10/5): -
• Madonna (9/5): -
• Mieke (10/5): - Loved the upgrade
• Danny (10/5): -
• Yafen (10/5): I would love to come back yearly - Upgraded my room to penthouse it was a huge surprise Everything is great
• Navdeep (8/5): Very good - Seevice ,location
• Gemma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joanne (10/5): Weekend stay at The GC - This is a beautiful hotel No breakfast area we has to go into the other building for breakfast
• Philip (8/5): Very good -
• Helen (6/5): - Really great apartment with good views, fitted out well and very spacious and modern. Unfortunately, we were not told about anything including: access, breakfast or room service (no menus available) and when I rang to find out, they could not help as was supposed to be on the QR code, and they didn’t know why it wasn’t. We were both very hungry and ended up eating some chips from the mini bar. On a side note the mini bar had one packet of chips and one packet of cashews. The remainder consisted of drinks… ummm a bit strange in such a nice room. We also did not know breakfast was included and so ordered room service. The room service was very average with brown avocado, cold coffee and food and they missed part of the order completely. Very limited options, not much healthy at all. Was probably all at the buffet we did not know about… When we left we were asked why we didn’t go to the buffet breakfast and we said we didn’t know about it they did not charge us for the (cold) room service. Also, we were not told to only use one set of lifts and we tried to get to our room going up and down for 10 minutes before we asked for help, even then they just pressed a button and did not explain…. The service was way, way below the room amenity, shame really, cannot recommend.
• Josh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tiska (8/5): Very welcoming upon arrival, but less so at departure. - They gave us an upgrade to the penthouse for celebrating our 10-yr anniversary with them and sent a bottle of celebratory champagne. Staff were very nice and friendly upon arrival, but less so at departure. On the morning of checkout, the hair dryer started burning. I requested a replacement from housekeeping but received no response. A housekeeping staff member then waited outside our door at midday for us to leave, even though my hair was still wet.
• Tim (9/5): Superb - Bathtub, friendly and helpful staff, good location close to everything in Broadbeach Lights would flicker from time to time
• Madonna (9/5): Superb -
• Natasya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kelly (9/5): Brilliant - Staff were brilliant and gave me an upgrade for my function which everyone loved!
• Irina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melissa (10/5): Luxury stay in the heart of the Gold Coast - will stay again! - Sensational stay, big suites and comfy beds. The balcony was very big with great views of Gold Coast!
• Ehsan (7/5): Good -
• Natasha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (9/5): Enjoyable - Harvest, good pub breakfast. Not an expansive offer Finer dinning breakfast
• Loren (9/5): Superb - Beautiful rooms, lovely extras like coffee machine, hair straighteners. The breakfast was very disappointing for a 5 star hotel. The buffet food did not look appetizing, there were no available tables, and the restaurant was crowded and full of queues, coffee took ages so we gave up and left to have coffee in the room.
• Nicole (10/5): I will be back for sure! - The room was absolutely amazing! Nothing I didn’t like, waa absolutely perfect.
• Rex (7/5): Good -
• Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jaxon (10/5): Perfect place to have a good time and live in complete luxury. - Very classy, spectacular Rooms, location is brilliant As there is so much to do on the star property, maps and directions would be good
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Andrew (10/5): Very relaxing and lots to do as a great position - Very clean and staff were fantastic Nothing
• Tony (10/5): Superb... - I stayed in the penthouse for 2 days and the room was absolutely amazing. Stunning luxury throughout, loved that the lifts as you never get in a lift with anyone else. The only thing I didn't like is i got the buffet breakfast with the accommodation, which was separate to the darling and in the main casino and that was packed and horrible. We eat at the 19 restaurant for one of the breakfast which was amazing and part of the darling.
• Tracey (10/5): - Loved my 2 night stay at The Darling. My suite was so luxurious and the view of the beach was breathtaking. I felt like a princess. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back!
• Cassandra (9/5): A lovely getaway - Breakfast was amazing, freshly made omelette The bathroom smelt like sewerage
• Peter (10/5): - Great hotel
• Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful stay - Absolutely wonderful stay for our wedding anniversary. Valet service and reception were friendly and helpful and all food in the Nineteen Restaurant (breakfast and dinner) was great. Hope to stay again.
• Shah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
