3 minutes walking distance from Southport South Tram Station. Very clean. Was checked in at level 3, water pressure not so good. The housekeeping didn't top up coffee tea but change the towel every day

I really enjoyed my stay at The Island Gold Coast. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. They tried to prioritize our room when we arrived earlier than the check-in time. They even swapped us to a better room due to a connection issue with the Wi-Fi. It is located at a very convenient spot. It offers close access to the beach and also the tram station and the coach terminal. It was a pleasant stay with them.

The front desk closes after 6 PM, so late check-ins can be inconvenient. You'll need a text message code to retrieve the key from a safe. The room doesn't have a universal adapter, but there is a microwave, which is very convenient for heating up groceries from the supermarket. The water park and heated pool are great for family activities.

Many whales and dolphins were clearly visible, and the crew and captain on the boat were very friendly! (All the photos below were taken with my iPhone, which shows how clearly the whales could be seen! The whale highway is real.)

Booked 2 days before the jump, was informed 1 day before that the big plane (for 5 pax) was on maintenance but a smaller plane will be provided for 2 pax. We had 3 pax so we decided to proceed by splitting up. Our jump was supposedly at 10.30am but we waited till 12.30pm for the 1st pair to do the sky dive as there were delay due to the airshow weekend at GoldCoast. Right after that, I was informed that the big plane was ready for the rest of the jump and it took 4pax on the plane. They could have informed us and put all 3 of us on the same plane for a better experience. Regardless, the crew was very friendly and nice throughout! The tandem instructors were all very humorous and making jokes and super professional. The beach landing view was stunning!! It’s my 2nd skydiving and this view is one in a million. Recommend to all! We bought the video+photo and it was sent to us via a google link about 2-3hrs. It was very well edited!
