Fodor's Expert Review The Star Gold Coast

This massive, glitzy resort in Broadbeach houses The Star Grand and The Darling hotels: the former offering tasteful rooms with a calming palette and the latter, spacious suites and penthouses designed with decadence in mind. There is a total of nine restaurants including the award-winning Kiyomi, specializing in modern Japanese fare, the light-filled Garden Kitchen and Bar, and the rooftop Nineteen at The Star. Other treats include a luxury day spa, massage center, hair salon, tennis court, and gym (including free fitness classes for guests), and an oasis-style pool and Jacuzzi area, complete with private bungalows and cabanas.
