Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Rays Resort sits on Marine Parade in Southport, on the Gold Coast's Broadwater in the city's central north. With 60 reviews behind its 3.9 rating, it's a well-regarded base.
The appeal is position by the water — a resort well placed along the Broadwater, handy for the waterfront, the parklands and an easy run to the beaches, a lovely pick whether you're after a getaway or a comfortable base. Its waterside location keeps you close to the action.
Rates, availability and facilities change with the season and demand, and the Gold Coast gets busy in peak periods. Confirm current rates and what your stay includes directly with the resort before booking.
