A hop over to Kowloon side (40 minutes by car) to the Gold Coast for a couple of nights is a great way to enjoy vacation without leaving the city! This place is *made* for families with children. Great food options, excellent pool, splash pad, beach, playroom .... we love it here. This is our second stay and likely we'll go again in the future. Plus, the price is right. ;)

That pool, tho!!!!

night swimming
*YES* 2 water slides !! So much fun! |
The splash pad is pretty cool too ....
Have you noticed yet?? It's pretty much empty. While the hotel had plenty of guests, many of them weren't at the pool when we were - and many didn't go to the pool at all! So much space to play!
Here's a basic room. You could also up$ for a theme-decorated one.
and the beach .... lots of shells and sea glass treasures to be found here.

There is a really sweet garden walk - with hidden gems like Cinderella's coach - diverging paths - and a playground at the end. I'm sorry to say that we did see a rather LONNNNNG snake slither across the path into the bushes. We were all too shell-shocked and terrified to think about snapping a pic. But the playground is pretty fun at night, when the sun isn't beating down.
Thanks again, Gold Coast! Staycations are fabulous.
