My family and i have come to stay at Voco every year since my eldest was 1 year old. There are so many things to love but the best is probably the convience of being located at the tram station and a 3min walk to the beach. The buffet breakfast is amazing, high floor rooms have recently been renovated and staff are so incredibly helpful. My partner loves watching the footy on the big screen in the pub very close to the lobby play area and the two pools so you can always find a sunny spot.

Our family of 4 stayed at Voco for 6 days. The location is within walking distance to surfer paradise or one tram ride away. Location is exceptional, Voco provided underground secure parking. All the staff are friendly. Driving distance to other areas. Some negative point is, 1: no microwave provided, this is an extra cost. This is a first for me. 2: laundry room is closed at 9pm. 3: no incentive to discounted buffet or the available restaurant that sit inside the building. What a same as they could easily negotiated some deal or offering for guest. 4: the games room needed to be uplifted as previous guest has ruined most of the games.

The cleaners are not walking around cleaning inside or outside the hotel. My bathroom had mold in the shower quite obviously. They don't use bleach to clean the bathrooms. The carpets are dirty. The public bathrooms in the lobby are not checked regularly. I had to pick up paper of the floor several times I used it. The restaurant needs some more healthy options on it for diabetics etc.

I probably won't stay at Voco again despite staying there many times in the past. The overall maintenance and cleanliness has dropped. The elevator to the car park wasn't working and we had to walk up the drive way when we arrived with our luggage. We did get comped for parking though. The breakfast options are not great. The fruit is not ripe enough to eat and the staff are not engaged with guests. People with kids should be seated in one area away from other guests. I don't want to hear noisy kids while I'm eating. They don't clear the tables fast enough. Staff are slow and unwelcoming. I don't know where the manager was? The girl at the door was taking money and checking people in and having ot seat people too! The lines on the weekend are very long and people got impatient.
