Gold Coast Accommodation

[Cutty]

Hi All,
I have searched the forum as best I can, but if I have missed this topic please direct me to it and delete this thread. All I could find with any detail were reviews on the Sofitel on the Gold Coast, with little else on other options.

I am travelling to the Gold Coast in August with my two kids, and I am trying to make a decision which is the most appropriate Accor Hotel to stay at for 3 nights. I am pretty keen on avoiding the Surfers area, and more keen on Broadbeach or south. Can anyone make a reccomendation from experience? I have looked in detail at:
- Mantra Sierra Grand Broadbeach
- Mantra Broadbeach on the Park
- Mantra Twin Towns (yes Coolangatta)
- Mercure Gold Coast Resort
- Novotel (yes near Cavill, but has a great rate)

The key feature I am hoping for is an indoor heated pool as August will still be cold, even for me coming from Melbourne!

Thanks.

Mantra/sebel twin towns would be my suggestion, heated pool as well as self cooking facilities etc. Just be aware the tram extension works south of Broadbeach make traffic a nightmare, you can use the M1 and bypass it if heading to theme parks. Coolangatta escaped the erosion from the cyclone vs surfers as well
