We chose the Langham for the pool/beach vibe and we were very disappointed. The pool is way to small and completely overcrowded - mostly with kids (just compare how small the pool is compared to the number of rooms in the three towers). This means you won’t have a sun-bed or seat, and if, you’ll just hear shouting kids the whole day. It takes 30-40 min to get a drink at the pool-bar. We asked the hotel reception if they can organize us access at some other hotel’s pool (we would have been glad to pay for a day-pass elsewhere), but the hotel didn’t bother checking properly. However, the hotel did provide us with cabanas at the beach (and a basket with food), which was a nice gesture but didn‘t make up for our bad overall experience. Then as for the restaurants: the Chinese restaurant was amazing, the other one was horrible (long waiting time, almost an hour to get two undercooked meat-mains - we paid, didn’t eat anything and left). On a more positive note, the room was pretty amazing. My partner and I reside mostly in luxury hotels and this one was the most disappointing experience we encountered yet (biggest gap between expectations and experience). We did a 3-week trip through Australia and we were most excited about the Gold Coast - it turned out to be the worst part of our journey.
