I had an amazing time at the Marriott Surfers Paradise! The service was truly extraordinary, and the resort facilities, especially the pools, were absolutely stunning. The restaurants offered good food, but the choices could feel a bit repetitive. While it's close to everything, it's not directly on the beach or in downtown, which could be a downside for some. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to families looking for fun and relaxation.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at the resort, celebrating my 70th birthday in style. The unique beach and mountain views from my upgraded penthouse suite were unforgettable. However, there were some service hiccups, especially with a few overzealous staff members. Despite this, it was a memorable experience largely due to the cheerful and attentive team throughout the hotel. The facilities, especially the pool and lagoon areas, were simply outstanding, making it a fantastic getaway.

Overall, our stay was pleasant with clean, comfortable accommodations, and a beautiful beach nearby. The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome.
