Trip report : our weekend at Surfers Paradise

[tassie]

this is coming into surfers paradise..... yep, that's the name of the the name of the town
it's about two hours from where I live, and it's probarbly the biggest tourist area in Australia


if you look close you can see the duck bus!


a couple of weeks ago they had an indy race through the streets, and still had the starting line and some of the seating and barriers up






this is the resort we always stay at


this is the view from my BED!!

Re: Trip report : our weekend at Surfers Paradise

they have a kids club, where you can book the kids in. they have 3 sessions a day morning, afternoon, and night. they can stay for two consecutive sessions, so they can go morning afternoon or morning night, or just one session. they also provide meals, so if you book them oin for afternoon night they get both lunch and dinner. On the weekend it doens't shut until 10.30pm. so if they go in for lunch, they are there from 12 midday until 10.30 pm!!!!! no wonder it's called paradise resort!! LOL LOL LOL
It's all indoors, they have a heavy LOCKED door PLUS at pool gate. This side of the kids club is from age 5 to 12. Over the corridor is the babies, where you can leave them from 6 WEEKS old. it's a fully licenced day care centre. They also have heaps of activities all day and evening from kareoke, ball games, trivia, luau.. so you go there when you want to stay there and not go sightseeing
