“Golden Riviera Absolute Beachfront Resort has many things going for it, starting with its location on Tugun Beach away from the Gold Coast's most crowded areas. The self-contained apartments, each uniquely furnished, offer options for families and couples who want a more personalized stay with ocean views. I especially appreciate the year-round heated pool, which, together with local dining options, makes this a relaxing choice.”
