"Pacific Views Resort was excellent for our short stay for work. A fantastic location right across the road from the beach and 5 mins walk to Tedder Avenue. We stayed in apartment 715 which had great views of the ocean and beach and a very large balcony. Main Beach is a hidden gem - close to Surfers Paradise and Southport /The Spit but not a thoroughfare. It is an older building so not as flas or modern in terms of decor but the apartment size was generous and had everything we needed."
