Choose Bounce for a social base on the Gold Coast if the rooftop pool bar matters more than a long swim. Who can use the pool isn't published.

The pool

This hostel and hotel at 10 Pine Ave on the Gold Coast has a rooftop pool bar and a sunset bar looking over Budds Beach. It has 470 beds. Floor, pool size, heating and access rules aren't published.

Our take

Bounce is the budget-minded social option on our list, while The Wave Resort is the one for a quiet heated swim. The area suits it: the guide describes it as best for nightlife, with backpacker and budget stays.

Little is published here. Access, floor and hours are all missing, so a non-guest can't assume a visit works. If your room isn't ready, guests can store bags and relax by the pool, which is a useful extra on arrival day.
