There are club events and discounts planned every night, so you can head out to Surfers Paradise, meet some new people and still come home with some money in your pocket. If you’re not interested in heading out, you can spend the day relaxing by pool or head to the nearby Surfers Paradise beach. Depending on how many you’re travelling with, your budget or how much you value your privacy, there are 4 or 6-bedroom dorms (mixed, male and female) and private twin rooms available.
