Linked by monorail to Sea World theme park, the newly refurbished Sea World Resort is Australia's only theme park hotel. Located along 'The Spit' on the glorious Gold Coast the resort is bordered by clean surf beaches and the calm Broadwater.

Sea World Resort is a 4½ star resort with 405 hotel rooms spread over three accommodation wings. Having undergone a renovation to the Lobby and soft refurbishment in all rooms the resort now boasts a newer and more modern feel and as always, the same warm and friendly service. Accommodation rooms boast new colour schemes, soft furnishings, decor and modern slim line LCD televisions. Bringing a definite Sea World flavour to the rooms is the addition of captivating photography of the theme park's various marine animals.

On entry to the resort lobby, you will experience the amazing transformation that new tiling, colour, art, furniture and lighting have made. The new dolphin sculpture in the centre of the lobby looks great and is a great photo opportunity. Overall, the entire refurbished space has created a feeling of openness drawing the eye to focus beyond our glass walls to the lavish gardens and Broadwater beyond.

Sea World Resort offers many options for dining. There are 5 restaurants and 2 bars located within the resort plus room service until midnight. Award winning restaurants include: The Melrose Restaurant (award winning a la carte with a Kids Eat Free special before 7.30pm); Shoreline Restaurant (for breakfast and evening buffets); and Hatsuhana Restaurant (delicious teppanyaki, sushi, and a la carte).

The new $1million WaterPlay is the most exciting addition to Sea World Resort this year. The first of its kind in any Australian resort/ hotel, the WaterPlay is a mix of water slides, spray nozzles, water guns and a giant water-filled tipping bucket that splashes down to create a mini attraction within the resort. Its loads of fun and keeps kids and parents entertained for hours.

Sea World Resort has loads of other recreational and leisure activities to enjoy during your stay. There's the 50m lagoon pool, tennis, golf driving nets, spa, sauna, exercise room, nightly Kid's Club, Intencity Games Room, massage and beauty plus more. Note some fees and charges do apply.

For something extra special why not try the Meet The Dolphins and Seal Tour (conditions apply). This exciting and interactive tour takes you behind the scenes at Sea World before park opening hours. You'll take part in an informative tour where you'll actually feed a dolphin and get to meet one of the playful seals. This and other tours can be booked via the resort's Tour Desk.
