We stayed with my partner at the Brisbane City Marriott. I was an employee of the Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and as part of your employment each year you got a present. Ours was a night in Brisbane Marriott with breakfast included. The hotel was nice, breakfast was ok, room was not especially special at all. It really didn't compare to the Marriott Resort on the Gold Coast but that's not to say it wasn't good. It was just not as good. If your going to spend the money I'd spend it at the one Surfers.

I have rented a property for the last 4 years with Brisbane Realty. During this time they have always done their best to fix all property related problems as soon as possible. Sometimes in a matter of minutes. I have rented all my life and this is the first real estate that has been so quick to respond. Judy and her team are fabulous. If your looking to rent or buy or even sell, check out Brisbane Realty. They are a small business but they do big things!

Approximate cost: $270 per week

The seats were too small, very upright and uncomfortable and sticky. The staff were not very welcoming either. I won't fly with them again unless I have no other option.

They did my wedding flowers. The roses were stunning. The florist I spoke with made it all so easy. She gave me lots of information so I could make the right choices for me. I was very happy with the service and quality of the flowers for my special day. Thank you.

Friendly, fast, efficient, fresh and affordable. The P.A Florist offers free delivery to the P.A. Hospital (if you mention the free delivery that is in the advert in the yellow pages), this ment that I could spend a little bit extra towards the flowers that I was sending to my sick friend. She just raved about how pretty they were. It really lifted her spirits, YAY!
