What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Seafood Buffet

During my stay, I dined at Citrique and was blown away by the seafood buffet. The selection was vast, featuring crabs, prawns, and salmon sashimi, all incredibly fresh and delicious. Claire, the wait staff member, made the experience even better with her attentive service and frequent check-ins. Every bite was worth every cent!

Lagoon Pool Paradise

The lagoon pool at the JW Marriott is simply very nice! I loved swimming with the fish and enjoying the beautiful waterfall. It felt like a tropical paradise right within the resort. The pools had plenty of seating, and I made sure to order some delicious cocktails while I lounged by the water.

Family-Friendly Experience

Traveling with kids, the JW Marriott exceeded my expectations with its family-friendly amenities. The lagoon was fun for the kids, and they especially loved the complimentary ice blocks offered at the pool. It made our stay so much easier and enjoyable as a family!

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.

My stay at this resort was mostly enjoyable, with a fantastic pool area and a breathtaking view from our 8th-floor room. The staff went out of their way to make our experience memorable, particularly during breakfast. However, we did encounter some issues with our room's cleanliness and functionality that detracted from our overall experience. Still, the amenities and activities available made it a good value for a family 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. However, the pool area has seen better days, which was disappointing, and the dining options didn't fully meet our expectations. Additionally, there were some issues with the airport transfer that left a sour note at the end of our trip.

While the breakfast was hearty and enjoyable, I felt the dining options could expand, especially for something other than seafood lovers.

Facilities

The pool area was disappointing and seemed poorly maintained, not at all what I would expect from a resort spa. The beach area was nice, but the state of the pools took away from the overall experience.
