| Hilton Surfers Paradise great for kids |
One of the Gold Coast's newest apartment buildings is
offering a kids friendly promotion until 31
st may 2012.
Holiday for 5 recently experienced
the “Doing It For The Kids” Package for a weekend stay and in the words of our
10 year old, “it was awesome!”.
On offer (from the hotel website) is:
- Complimentary upgrade to a
Two Bedroom Deluxe Ocean Residence.
- Full buffet breakfast for
the family.
- Mini-Hilton Passport which
includes;
- Family pass to Skypoint
Observation Deck
- Two Games for the family at
Strike Bowling
- Two hour use of the movie
theatre; watch your favourite DVD from our library, bring your own or
connect the Playstation 2! Includes pop-corn and soft drinks!
- Once passport is fully
stamped, proceed to The Food Store for your milkshake
We were firstly delighted to discover the hotel is located
right in the heart of Surfers Paradise, on the corner of
Cavil Avenue and
Orchid Avenue. Once we had parked the car
we did not required it again until we left as we were able to walk to nearby
shops, restaurants and main beach.
On our arrival we found the staff could not do enough to
help us enjoy our family escape together.
There are several room options available to a family of 5.
With younger children the a two bedroom “Deluxe Ocean Residence” we stayed in
would be suitable, as you can have twin beds set up in the 2
nd
bedroom, and with an extra linen charge you can also use the sofa bed.
Another option is taking two adjoining two bedroom
apartments (perhaps more suitable for families with teenagers), or a three
bedroom sub-penthouse.
The two bedroom apartments we viewed were really lovely:
very new and well fitted out with dreamy ocean views. The apartment layouts were quite different
however so ask to see the floor plan options available.
We liked details in both rooms like bath robes, hair driers
in both bathroom and en-suite (again, good for teenagers..) The kitchen areas
are well stocked for families wishing to prepare food. There are flat screen
TV’s in the living and main bedrooms.
After a look around the extensive pool area on the second
floor (which provides a choice of heated, lap, and spa pools plus sauna), the
Concierge escorted us to the pre booked private movie theatre. The children
were delighted to be able to choose a movie and feast on an array of snacks and
drinks. It was a truly indulgent experience.
We were also provided with tickets to visit the Q1 tower
Skypoint Observation Deck which is situated a few blocks away and offers
amazing views over the Gold Coast and was well worth the visit.
Buffet breakfast at the Salt Grill restaurant was included
in the promotional pass, and provided a good choice of food and pastries, and
eggs made to order. The service was polite and attentive, as we had come to
expect at the Hilton.
On the Sunday morning we were booked into Strike Bowling
across the street from the Hilton. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience
to share as a family, and a change from the “mega” amusement parks you normally
associate with the Gold Coast.
It is
refreshing to take time out for a bit of old fashioned family fun together.
Our stay was capped off by complimentary milkshakes at the
ground floor café at checkout, and our ever helpful Concierge, Greg assisting
us with our belongings.
Our eldest son turned 10 during our stay and the “Doing It
For The Kids” package proved to be a perfect way to celebrate the occasion.
From this Family of 5, the package gets given the big thumbs
up and it is encouraging to find a family tailored package put together at a
premium, well located hotel.
