Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Jw Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The JW Marriott Gold Coast boasts a great lagoon pool, and is conveniently located within walking distance of Surfers Paradise beach. The spacious and newly refurbished rooms offer ocean views, though some buildings may partially obstruct them. Guests particularly enjoy the saltwater lagoon with fish for snorkeling, and the freshwater pool featuring a slide; however, some have noted that housekeeping could be more consistent with replenishing items. it's considered a brilliant hotel, ideally located for enjoying the nearby attractions.

fantastic stay with family fun!

amazing teamheated poolseafood buffetannoying acoustic

My family and i had such a blast in our double room! the housekeeping team was amazing every day, and i wished we could have stayed longer. even with the rain, the heated pool was a hit. The kids swam daily, which they LOVED!!! dining at citrique for the seafood buffet was good. the person who took us to the table was snobbish, though.

every time it moved, i could hear it in my room.
