“I stayed here for the first time last night and it was truly the best experience! The motel was spotless and the interior styling in the rooms was fantastic. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. Ira and housekeeping staff incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here and would love to return! Thanks so much shores team for making a kid free night the most relaxing stay!”
“I had a fantastic stay at The Shores and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and the location was perfect. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the trip. There was a small miscommunication during my stay, but it was handled exceptionally well. Ira was incredibly attentive, professional, and quick to step in. She made sure the issue was resolved almost instantly, which really showed how much the team cares about their guests’ experience. Overall, the service, comfort, and attention to detail made this a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and I highly recommend The Shores to anyone looking for a great place to stay.”
“Firstly I rarely ever leave reviews. And no I'm not sponsored. I just was blown away. Incredibly beautiful new little boutique motel. Loved my stay here. Everything is so thoughtfuly designed and they spared no expense on quality. They could have taken shortcuts and done a cheap renovation but they genuinely made this place an absolute dream. Stunning pool and a short walk to the beach too! I booked through Agoda and it was actually very affordable for what you're getting. Just the slightest note: the bathroom in room 1 ('Miami Studio') is much smaller than the bathroom in room 8 (which funnily enough is called 'Miami Mini'). But I imagine they just had to work with the layout of the original building they renovated which is fair enough. But honestly if I could give this place 6 stars I would :)”
“Stayed at The Shores Miami and really enjoyed our stay. The property has a beautiful resort-style feel and gives off Miami vibes. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool area is absolutely gorgeous and one of the best features of the property. The only downside was the late checkout. We paid extra because we had an afternoon flight and wanted some extra rest, but cleaning contractors were using high pressure machines to clean the floors outside during that time, which was very noisy. We couldn’t properly relax in the room. When we tried to sit outside near the pool area, they were also cleaning there, so the noise continued and made it hard to enjoy the space. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay with great facilities and a fantastic atmosphere. Just a little disappointing that the late checkout wasn’t as relaxing as we had hoped due to the cleaning works.”
“This place is nothing like a Motel! It really looks like a tiny resort! The design of the rooms is incredible! Modern but with a hint of vintage. I think that what really has a visual impact is the door of the rooms, the shape and the colour are very distinctive, loved every single detail. The room has a ceiling fan and aircon, a lovely vintage fridge with filtered water in it and the bedside tables have phone chargers integrated. Highly recommended”
“We had the best stay in The Shores Miami on our girls trip to the Gold Coast! The whole place is so beautiful from the outdoor pool area to the room itself. Communication with Ira was really easy via text and they kindly messaged us to let us know our room was ready and we could check in early. They have a cute little bar at the pool area that offers a happy hour on Saturdays. The location was perfect for Miami Beach and just a short walk or cycle to Burleigh. I would highly recommend The Shores for your next trip to the GC”
“We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. The aesthetic is stunning, and the rooms were incredibly cosy, stylish, and spotless. Check-in was seamless, and the communication from the team was clear and helpful, making everything so easy from start to finish. The pool area was a highlight, our kids absolutely loved swimming while we were able to relax and unwind. We’re based in Brisbane and will definitely be back. We’ll also be recommending this hotel to friends without hesitation.”
