We stayed at Karana Palms for 7 nights. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. The apartment was clean, tidy and spacious. Although only a short walk into town and the main part of Surfers, it was really quiet and we got a good nights sleep. The managers were very approachable... More

Located just a few minutes walk from Surfers Paradise, it is very handy to everything. We had unit 208 which was nice, tidy, modern, with a decent outlook from the balcony. We stayed 8 nights and had everything we needed. This is our 4th trip to surfers in 18 months and we have always stayed at the same property however... More

Much quieter than staying in Surfers itself but beware if you're on the right side of the building (looking on from the street) the neighbours are close and loud.

The resort was just a short trip over the bridge into surfers paradise. The resort staff went to great detail to make our holiday simple by getting us to bus stops and even scales to weigh our suitcases we couldnt have been more pleased. the price was great and I could have easily have paid more to stay there.

Look, previous reviews on this site have been mixed but do relate to previous Karana Palms management teams. This was our first time staying at this resort and we were nervous. Needn't have worried. Happy to report that the new management team of Evelyn and Robert are doing a great job. They are a knowledgeable and very helpful couple. Any... More
