After a flight cancellation and sleepless night Judy made our day. The location is second to none and the complex was spotless. We loved our view the minute we stepped through the door. Nothing better than watching the sunrise or set from the balcony. Judy's help with Ticketing and restaurant choices were on par. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Located just 200 metres from the beach, Xanadu Resort offers modern apartments with stunning Gold Coast views. It features 2 swimming pools, a hot tub, a sauna and fitness centre.

Winner of the 2015 TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Award, each apartment at Xanadu Resort has a spacious balcony overlooking the beach. All include a kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, and living room with DVD player and cable TV. Internet access can be enjoyed in the apartments.

Our room was amazing, it was hard to leave. We had fantastic ocean views, the beds were so so comfy, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff were just so lovely and helpful. The pool area is small but clean and perfect for the kids to play. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else now we’ve been to Xanadu. There are great cafes close by, and the local surf club is just a short walk. However the local grocery store is quite expensive so heading out to the supermarket is a good idea. We can’t wait to go back.
