My husband and I stayed here the last 2 days of our honeymoon and we loved it here. The bathroom is the best feature I think, with a good sized bathtub and also a separate shower.

I didn't use the pool/jacuzzi or gym facilities but they are there for those who have the time.

I booked using the Entertainment card so that it was only $180 per night (as opposed to over $200). The place is well presented and clean.

Only downside is that the TV is in an awkward place to view from the bed.

Approximate cost: $200

I had an avocado roll from here for $2.50. It was quite an average tasting roll for the price. They do have a special after 2pm where they sell 3 rolls for $7. Just nearby downstairs is another sushi shop that sells rolls for $2, and the taste can rival that of this place.

I had a noodle box from here using spinach noodles, bok choy and black bean sauce. I found that the food was taty but way too much oil was used in the frying, which made me not want to finish the meal. It was $10 for this meal, and I only ate half of it because of the oil content. I would have preferred a steamed option for the veggies, and minimal sauce used if possible.

I would buy from them more if it wasn't so oily.

Approximate cost: $10

This is one of the healthier restaurants in the Gold Coast Airport, amongst Sumo Salad and a few others. I bought a falafel from here for $11. It was filling enough for my lunch, even though overpriced. However, it's understandable since most food at airports is expensive. My husband bought a smoothie from here made with mango and passionfruit, which was quite tasty but sour. They sell a wide range of smoothies/juices, as well as wraps.

Approximate cost: $11

I bought an udon soup noodle dish from here for $6.80. It's not enough for a full meal, but okay as a snack. Unfortunately the soup contains MSG. I asked about it and they said the packet they use might contain it. So it's not really a freshly made natural soup. It's tasty though, and I don't really drink the soup, just eat the noodles and the vegetables in it.

Approximate cost: $7

I watched Spiderman 2 with my husband here. I like how were were able to choose couple seats (where there is no dividing arm rest), which meant we were able to be closer together. It was a nice experience that I haven't seen in another cinema before. Sound and video quality is fine, as per usual with event cinemas.

Only warning is that the arcade games near the cinema do not always work. My husband put in money to play a racing game but the machine just ate up the money without responding. Fortunately the man in charge was able to give us another free game on another machine, but not able to get our money back for us.

I sometimes come here to have a minestrone soup rather than a pie or coffee. I try to avoid butter and caffeine as they are unhealthy. One thing they could do to improve their soup would be to include more of the pasta shells. I love pasta. It makes the soup more filling like their pies.

Approximate cost: $6

I had an avocado veggie roll from here that tasted fresh. It cost $2.50. They have a variety of other rolls as well, including california rolls and chicken rolls. They conveniently provide you with napkins and soy sauce if wanted.

I had some seaweed rolls from here, which tasted fresh, However, my husband had some other rolls with meat in them and they didn't taste that fresh to him. It was the rice, which tasted like it was cooked a different day. The prices are reasonable, at less than $2.50 per roll, but we would prefer freshness for a higher price.

I had some vegetable avocado rice paper rolls from here, 3 for $7, which included some sauce with ground peanuts. They were very tasty and fresh, and quite good value. They also sell laksa and other noodle dishes.

Approximate cost: $7
