“Main Beach Tourist Park”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed in a 3brm villa for 7 nights in Dec 2011. The villa, while expensive had the best views over the road to the beach. There are 3 bedroom but only one is air conditioned which seemed a bit strange as the Gold Coast can get very hot especially at this time of year. We ended up all camping in he main bedroom.

The villa could have been a bit cleaner and wasn't properly cleaned for our arrival. I found plenty of reminders left from the previous guests which I found a bit creepy.

The staff were rather unpleasant and didn't seem happy to be there at all.
Management was excellent and really put an effort in to making the guests welcome by cooking pancakes for beakfast and screening movies, maybe they could have a chat to their staff.
My suggestion would be to take your own toilet paper. We were put on rashions and ended up buying our own just so we didn't have to go back and ask for more.

The rooms were only serviced every eight days, there were washing facilities in the room and I was forever washing and drying towels.

Overall our stay was wonderful. We had a few minor maintenance problems which were fixed immediately.

Room Tip: The 3 brm villas have the best location, private and quiet. The other villa seemed nice but had lit...

“They Lost My Business In Less Than a Minute”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Holidaying on the Gold Coast doing a tour of caravan parks for next time. A, she asked the staff member at the desk, i think her name was Tamarra if I could drive around, she told me I couldn't but i could walk. I insisted that i would prefer to drive as i was strapped for time. she was very rude, passive and not willing to make an exception, so this park lost our business without even seeing the place, shame as it looked great from behind the boom-gate and was in a great location, but on holidays i want what i want, if you cant give it to me then i will go elsewhere, and take the potential 25 other clients from my caravaning club with me. Thanks for nothing.

“Great park - Rude staff!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

people found this review helpful

Never again! One particular staff member at booking in was the rudest person I have ever come across. I don't think I found the attitude changed from the time we arrived to the time we left. Great location, clean, but not worth the hassle. No fun, condescending, rude if you dare ask for help.

“Great location, but visit spoiled by the poor management”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2010
6
people found this review helpful

This park offers caravan, camping and cabin accommodation in a great location, right opposite the beach and just down the road from theme parks and the night life of the Surfers Paradise area. The park is well maintained and facilities are kept clean. We have camped here several times over the past few years and enjoyed our time there.
However, our most recent visit was spoiled by very unhelpful staff, who allocated us a site too small for our group - despite advance requests for large family sites. We were cramped onto the small site, with insufficient room for our car. Management were very unhelpful in solving the problem they had created - eventually fixed by a friendly group of neighboring campers. In addition, the security patrols seem to be totally ineffective in controlling noise from rowdy groups late at night. We cut our stay short and will not return unless management changes.
