COOL HOTEL MADE FOR KIDS Paradise Resort has its place on the Gold Coast, but if you're after five-star luxury, these are not your kind of digs. The hotel really is made for kids. Large rooms complete with bunk beds and PlayStation, and a hotel yard with two big water parks, make this place paradise for kids. Supervised around-the-clock activities, such as sand art and cupcake decorating classes, not to mention pool races and jelly-eating competitions, are what make this place tick, giving parents a bit of time to kick back and have a drink or two by the pool. For up-market accommodation you can't beat Peppers Broadbeach. Check into a suite with views of the city skyline and relax in luxury after a big day of indulging in theme park thrills. There are two outdoor pools where the kids can swim while you relax on one of the pool lounges. The spacious suites are decked out with super-stylish furniture and all the mod cons, and the hotel even has a theatrette where the whole family can watch a movie. 17 Above, and below: Spin around the enormous funnel of the Green Room at WhiteWater World; enjoy skyline views at stylish Peppers Broadbeach.
