HOTEL REVIEW FOR FAMILIES

On the last weekend of the Easter school holidays we were invited to stay at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort on the Gold Coast. We stayed in one of their family villas and tried out Terraces Restaurant for a seafood buffet dinner and a buffet breakfast. 🤤

If you are looking for luxury accommodation that is centrally located on the GC, then check out our review.

It also has:
🏊 2 pools
🥞 4 Restaurants and bars (including a swim up bar!)
🏖️ Direct beach access (no road to cross)
🎲 Kids play room
🎢 3 minutes from Sea World
🛍️ Across the road from Marina Mirage shops

Read our review and watch the Instagram reel I embedded into the article where we give you a walk through the resort.

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Take your family to the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort on the Gold Coast to create family memories that your kids will talk about for years!
