Hotel Beachside Resort Kawana Waters (Kawana Waters, Australia)

Families particularly loved coming back to this hotel every year. For those that love the outdoors, there's tennis and swimming, and those who need to relax and unwind there's the full service spa and hot tub. Many guests got to know one another over a game of table tennis and darts in the games room.

Several travellers packed a picnic basket and spent the day across the street at the beautiful beach. For the shopaholics there's a huge shopping centre within walking distance with a variety of excellent stores to choose from.

Guests said the three bedroom apartments were exceptionally spacious, and the entire family was able to find an area to watch TV or read a book in the privacy of their own room. Furnishings were comfortable and bright.

Although a few rooms have been updated with modern furniture and fixtures, as well as new appliances, several guests were disappointed with the rooms that had not yet received a facelift. Couches were grubby, and curtains were really dusty and dated.
