Really nice hotel
by TripAdvisor Member Oz23
We've stayed at this hotel several times over the past 12 months. Each time we've enjoyed our stay without any problems. Location is excellent - close to beach and town centre. The hotel and rooms are quite modern. Most rooms seem to have a small kitchen, which is really handy. All staff we encountered have been very friendly and helpful. Pool is large and maintained well. Only minor downside is that it is a fairly large property (400+ rooms). Therefore it can be expected that you may need to wait while checking in/out at peak times. The lobby is also usually quite crowded and the pool area and other facilities can be crowded.
Great Location

This hotel was in a great location, although there was a couple of issues that bothered me.
The beds in our unit were rather short, me being 5 foot 10 inches struggles to keep my feet in the bed. The beds were doubles but are shorter to what I am used to in New Zealand.
The rooms apart from the beds was good, but had trouble whilst showering to have to fight with the shower curtain to keep it down.
The Restaurant was great and the food wonderful, but the service could be improved as there was 5 staff on, who seemed more interested in setting Breakfast, rather than looking after the guests who are dining for dinner.
Hotel overall is a great place.
Would stay again.
Excellent Hotel
by TripAdvisor Member Scottiboy
Having stayed at the hotel for the final 3 nights of a 3 week holiday we were not dissapointed.
The rooms are well decorated and are a good size, with a small functional kitchen area if you so desire. The most impressive aspect of the rooms are the views from the floor to ceiling windows and the balcony (we had paid slightly more for an ocean view room and it was definately worth it, higher floors are spectacular).
The food was adequate if not spectacular and the service in the restaurant could be improved, but we only ate breakfast in the hotel so it is maybe difficult to judge the standard of the food on that alone.
The location is where the hotel definately comes into its own with a short stroll to both the beach and the centre of surfers there is no shortage of things to doo.
All round a solid hotel and i would recommend it to others.
Absolute Paradise

To be honest I was backpacking at the time so I wasn't expecting the earth but my travelling buddy and I fancied a treat, and it was at a bargain price for 3 nights so we couldn't resist Legends, and legendary it was!
Fantastic location, only a short walk from the bus station and literally down a short road to the beach. The shops were fantastic and only a few minutes walk away. And across the road from the hotel was the best pancake place ever!
The hotel itself was amazing, we were up on the 18th floor so the view was fantastic, the river sparkled in the sunshine.
Staff were very friendly, had a rather straping young man carry our bags and the food there was delish!
Even though we didn't use the pool it did look lovely, well mantained and very inviting.
The room had everything we needed (including minibar!).
The entire stay was faultless!!!!! 10/10 - this has to be the best hotel I've ever stayed in!
Great - Best Deal You Will Get for the Price You Pay!!!

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for 1 week as a bit of a break before getting back into work and study during the gold coast's peak tourist season in January.
I booked our stay online and honestly wasnt expecting much for the price I payed. However I was pleasantly surprised, what I got was a comfortable room, with air conditioning so cold its like your in a freezer! I opened our blinds and had a beach view (totally unexpected! for the price) Although the balcony was pretty small.
Night life is awesome! And your right in the middle of it, almost all clubs are in walking distance - this is not to say that the hotel is noisy, because it couldnt be more peaceful. You'll meet people from all over the world when out (all tanned & beautiful), the clubs are very touristy and laidback. Although I prefer to get dressed up and generally wear heels when going out, take my advice and wear dressy sandals/ flats of some sort - given that your at a beach the dress code is again very casual. Like every hotel around the world, the room service is extremely expensive and not recommended. Your better off going for a stroll to cavill av the heart of surfers paradise - where you'll find many eateries from fast food to gormet restaurants. The hotel has a asian restaurant on ground level - it was full every night of our stay however we didnt eat there - given that it was so busy I can only assume that it would be good?
There is also guest parking should someone come to visit you and you can also park your car under the hotel free of charge. Your bed is made daily and fresh towels provided. I even found that the maids would neatly fold any clothes that were on the bed.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, I was hesitant to complain about my pillow which was too hard for my liking but the maid returned with 3 for me to choose from and assured me that she was just doing her best to ensure I got the best nights sleep!
Although the beach here is I think THE BEST IN THE WORLD and practically a few meters from the hotel, the hotel pool is absolutely fantastic if you dont want to walk outside or deal with breeze & sand. Pool side bar has some wonderful cocktails... the daquaris are enormous and chocolate bounty cocktail is to die for! served with a giant strawberry and chocolate sauce - highly reccommended!
If you want to go shopping, theres shops on cavill avenue or the larger shopping centres pacific fair and australia fair (pac fair in my opinion is the better of the two) there is also harbour town which is a short drive away, where you'll find discount stores - not crappy cheap clothes but labels like ralph lauren, morresy and oroton etc. (check out their website).
There's also endless activities you can do, play minigolf, go to dreamworld, movie world or sea world. The best thing in my opinion is simply going for a stroll or jog along the beach - its so resfreshing either morning or night.
The guests of the hotel range from teenagers, couples, families and retired people. I think anyone of any age would find their stay at legends plesant and want to come back again - I know I cant wait until my next summer break!!!
False advertising, bad experience all around.

Promised ocean views and could hardly see the ocean and we had to pay an extra $20 a night for the ocean views. We could barely see the ocean upon paying the extra money. The hotel is nestled behind other high rises, making it hard to see ocean. Upon arrival we were screamed at by rude concierge. The website tells you that they have satellite tv. You only get access to this satellite tv if you pay about $17 per movie!!! The only channells you get are the normal free to air television. The bed was hard and very uncomfortable. Like sleeping on carpet. Apart from this it was a very nice looking hotel. We paid extra for the king spa room, and we were really disappointed. We feel like we have been mislead and ripped off. There are much better hotels for the same price. Not worth it!
