With its claim to offer the best value luxury apartments on Main Beach, Sunbird Beach Resort is definitely worth a look. Its four-star two-bedroom units all have full kitchens, air-conditioning, large TVs and two balconies with views of the beach. Since it’s at the north end of the Gold Coast it’s also closer to attractions such as Dream World, Sea World and Wet’n’Wild than many of its more expensive competitors down south. Heated pools, both indoor and out, plus a spa, sauna, tennis court, squash court, barbecue area and 24-hour check-in, make Sunbird a favourite of new and returning visitors.
