Royal Pines good resort that does not quite deliver what they advertise on their net site. They say, choice of four restaurants but that's not the truth. The Italian is open every night. The Japanese Wednesday - Sunday. Their flagship Videre only Wednesday to Saturday. Kalinda seafood only Friday and Saturday. Great if you come late in the week. The... More

We stayed for 2 nights over the long weekend in June and had a great time. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent from start to finish. If I had to say anything negative it would have to be the lifts...the wait was incredible, admittedly it was very busy with conferences and events, but certainly something that needs... More

This is a fantastic place to stay - especially if you have children under 12 because they eat for free in Kalinda Restaurant. Every time we travel to the Gold Coast, we stay at Royal Pines. I think once you try it, you won't go anywhere else! The suites are comfortable and quite modern with 2 double beds. In room... More

Royal Pines was our base for a 5 day golfing break, and proved to be the perfect choice. The staff we brilliant - they booked our games with the courses (Royal Pines, The Glades & Lakelands), arranged our transport and helped store our clubs. Nothing seemed to be too much bother for them. Our room was quiet, clean, well appointed... More

I was presenting at the AusCERT 2013 conference in the RACV Royal Pines resort in May 2013. I was there for seven nights. This is undoubtedly one of the best resorts I've ever been to. The place is amazingly neat and people are very friendly. They have a wonderful view for each and every room, so you dont miss anything...... More

This hotel obviously focuses on golf and conferences.. I could not recommend it for any other purpose. It is expensive to get to other places and the bar and restaurants are not open enough .. The bar was closed for a private (very noisy) function one night and several times we couldn't get in to the Japanese restaurant (the best... More

This was a surprise destination for us after buying a weekend at a charity auction. We had the corner spa suite, and were a little disappointed in the small sized the spa (only fit one), but the rest of the room was very spacious and comfortable. The curtains could have been darker. That aside, the resort itself was very good,... More

Dear Julian 4350 Thank you for your review - it was great to read how much you enjoyed the resorts facilities and location. The corner spa suites are very popular - both because of their size and the views they have. As you say, having a golf course on the doorstep makes the resort a great haven for golfers and,... More

I stayed at Royal Pines while attending a conference. The facilities are marvelous for this purpose, the grounds immaculate; I just wished that I played golf because the course looked wonderful.
