Sea World Resort

Sea World Resort

8/10 Good
"A fantastic family holiday destination, surrounded by other families and children of all ages. Having a package as part of your deal is better value than not. Breakfast and dinner buffets are expensive if not included. The pools were great and the splash areas were fun. Daily visits by Nickelodeon characters were a hit with our children and the short stroll to Seaworld was brilliant. Our room had great access being on the ground level, close to pools and amenities, however, the bathroom was a little dated and rundown. Everything worked and fresh towels each day was fabulous, the bathroom just needs some renovations!!"

"We had a lovely stay at The Langham! Check-in and check-out were smooth, lobby was amazing and luxurious, the room was huge and amazing with a bedroom X ensuite, a common toilet and shower and a study. We also had a wraparound balcony with stunning views of Nerang River and Broadbeach. Amentiies were great. Pools both indoor and outdoor outstanding. This hotel delivered the luxury that The Langham brand promises. The best add on was their Whatsapp support line - was using it even prior to our arrival to confirm details of our booking, plus used it to request blankets and complimentary water and finally clarificafions re our checkout. Location-wise very close to Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, it had food options too. We genuinely had five star experience."
