PARADISE RESORT GOLD COAST WINS AGAIN! 

AUSTRALIA'S favourite family holiday destination, Paradise Resort Gold Coast, has been honoured with its third major national industry award this year.

The Surfers Paradise property was named Australia's best property in it’s category (3½ Star) at the annual Hotel Motel and Accommodation Awards in Brisbane on August 25.

The accolade came on the heels of Paradise Resort Gold Coast being voted Australia's No.1 family holiday destination in two separate national surveys by HotelClub and Holidays With Kids magazine.

In a survey conducted by HotelClub in conjunction with Getaway and ninemsn, Australians voted Paradise Resort Gold Coast as the best family resort in Australia.

Australians were asked to nominate three of their favourite hotels and to place a ranking out of ten over nine specific categories; family friendliness, cleanliness, room, ambience, staff, location, leisure, restaurants and business.

With more than 50,000 people casting more than 75,000 votes for over 4,000 separate Australian hotels, this survey makes it the largest of it’s kind ever conducted.

Australian Traveller, a partner on this project, collected the full data of all voted hotels and contributed their own ratings across the nine categories. They then tallied the votes and further sorted those successful hotels into their own categories – City, Family, Resort and overall Hotel to create their ‘Top 101’ .

Paradise Resort Gold Coast was also named Australia's best family-friendly resort by readers of Holiday with Kids magazine.

Readers were asked to rate resorts according to activities and facilities for kids, childcare and babysitting services, staff hospitality, standard of accommodation, location, accessibility, safety, fun for the entire family, value for money and overall experience. Paradise Resort Gold Coast came out on top!

Phil Haller , General Manager of Paradise Resort Gold Coast , said all three awards were testament to the resort's philosophy: "Heaven for Kids ... Paradise for Parents''.

"We are unashamedly focused on providing the best family holiday experience possible in everything we do from our fun-filled facilities and guest activities, vibrant decor, warm and friendly service, family-oriented food and beverage outlets and of course, fantastic value-for-money,'' Mr Haller said.

"Winning these three important industry awards is recognition of our commitment to ensuring the perfect family holiday.''
