My stay at the Palazzo Versace was mixed. while the ambiance and pool area were stunning, my check-in experience left much to be desired. The room I received felt like a downgrade, and the service didn't meet the standards I expected from such a renowned hotel.

I had hoped for a nicer room, but ended up in a ground-floor space facing a wall. it felt outdated and a bit unclean. The promised amenities didn't match what was shown in the pictures.

I recently stayed at the Imperial Hotel Gold Coast, and overall, my experience was a mixed bag. The rooms offered a stunning view, which I loved, but they definitely felt a bit dated. While the staff, especially Gina and Paige, made my stay enjoyable with their really good service, there were several issues I encountered that were quite disappointing.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and disappointment. The room was spacious and well-furnished, but common areas showed signs of neglect. The pool area looked great but was poorly maintained, which detracted from the overall experience. The service at the bar was also lacking, making me feel undervalued as a guest.

My stay at the Imperial Hotel Gold Coast had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, with lovely shops and restaurants nearby, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. However, the overall condition of the hotel was disappointing, with issues like dirty pools and some staff's less-than-friendly demeanor. Overall, it felt like the hotel could use a refresh to match its luxurious promise. 😕🌴

My stay at the Imperial Hotel Gold Coast started off poorly with a long wait at check-in, which was my worst experience there. However, the beautiful decor and spacious room eventually made it worthwhile. I enjoyed my time at the pool area too, but I did notice a lack of available sunbeds, which was frustrating. Overall, while the hotel has great potential and charm, the service could definitely improve.
