Top Rainbow Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Rydges Gold Coast Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very nice and updated. The family rooms were fantastic. The one we stayed in was at the corner of the building so we had great views on both sides with the floor to ceiling windows. The only downside was the lack of a safe in the room but overall the hotel felt secure and safe. The staff was wonderful. We will definitely be revisiting on our next trip."

ULTIQA Points North

8/10 Good

"The apartment was nice, spacious and clean. The check-in process was slightly convoluted and in order to access the pool facilities at the other hotel was slightly annoying. The pool facilities at this hotel were out of order and we were not informed about this until after booking. The view was nice. It should also be noted that the braille on the buttons in the elevator was misspelled in certain places. Other than that the accessibility was good."
