Calling all interstate travellers! The new ‘Stay and Play’ package is designed to help visitors to Queensland experience a slice of paradise on the Gold Coast.
Along with its long list of inclusions like discounts on Paradise Resort activities and unlimited use of their awesome facilities, the ‘Stay and Play’ package also offers a BONUS $200 (for the three-night package) or $400 (for the six-night package) Experience Oz credit to spend on local tours and attractions on the Gold Coast.
Tempted? We don’t blame you! Here’s Paradise Resort's official guide to spending three, and six days on the sunny Gold Coast…
YOUR THREE-DAY STAY
Perfect for a long weekend (or even mid-week) getaway, the three-night Stay and Play package lets you enjoy some much-needed family time with minimal stress.
Day One
It’s your first day on the Gold Coast, so why not hit the ground running? While you can’t check into Paradise Resort until 2pm, you’re welcome to store your luggage at the reception desk whenever you arrive – it’s open 24 hours – and try the on-site facilities. Wash off your trip with a dip in the pool and let the kids stretch their legs on the jungle gyms or in one of Paradise Resort's water parks.
Next, get your bearings with a stroll around the surrounding area. Positioned in the heart of Surfers Paradise, Paradise Resort provides the perfect base camp for your Gold Coast adventure. Walk along the famous Surfers Paradise boardwalk, check out bustling Cavill Avenue or take the light rail to Pacific Fair Shopping Centre in nearby Broadbeach.
For your first night, dine in at the brand-new, on-site restaurant, Penguins! The perfect family dining experience, the broad menu offers something for everyone with favourites like chicken parmigiana and fish and chips, an expansive kids’ menu (hello, mac and cheese croquettes!) and delicious entrees like sticky chicken wings and garlic prawns.
Day Two
Start the day by ordering breakfast in bed, which can be picked up from their on-site dining options thanks to Paradise Resort’s partnership with the app 'Order Up'. Your family will want to have plenty of fuel to take on the day.
Use your $200 Experience Oz credit for a quintessential, unforgettable Gold Coast experience – the Aquaduck. For $138, you can take a family trip (two adults and two children) from land to sea aboard the eye-catching Aquaduck; a fun way to see the city, and the kids will even get to drive the Aquaduck while on the water. Alternatively, you can cuddle koalas and meet four-legged (and no-legged!) locals at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with the whole family for $149.95.
Day Three
Enjoy your last day at Paradise Resort with a fun activity in the morning before check out at 10am – they've got fun for the whole family from 7.30am onwards. You can continue to use the facilities after you check out, so savour the last moments of your family holiday with a trip to Planet Chill (our ice-skating rink), a rock climbing or laser tag session, or a splash in one of their water parks.

YOUR SIX-DAY STAY
Extending your stay from a long weekend into a week? Here’s how…
Day Four
It’s not a Gold Coast getaway without a trip to one of their iconic theme parks – and White Water World offers the perfect way to beat the heat! Dreamworld’s adjoining water park is jam-packed with rides for the whole family, and at $79 per adult and $74 for children aged three to 13, you’ll be able to use up the remainder of your $400 credit, and only have to pay a little bit extra.
Day Five
You’re probably exhausted from all the fun, so why not take Day Five to chill out Paradise Resort style? Dine out at dine out at one of their delicious on-site restaurants through Order Up, and enjoy watching movies together as a family on your in-room TV. The kids can explore the resort if they’re feeling cooped up, and you can enjoy some child-free relaxation in their new adults’ only lounge, bar and pool (coming this year!).
Day Six
Your Gold Coast holiday is officially over, so make the most of the resort facilities and activities one last time before hitting the road – taking a bevy of special family memories back home with you.
