Taking inspiration from its Gold Coast surroundings, Marriott Surfers Paradise Resort & Spa is a strikingly beautiful hotel on the banks of the Nerang River, just a short walk from the beach.

The lobby and restaurant areas are gorgeous along with the pool areas however the actual pools could do with an upgrade - the tiles and pool floor are looking weary and unpleasant - certainly not 5 star. The rooms have nice decor but don’t quite match with the luxury lobby and restaurant vibes - they are small for what you pay and our room had hair and sticky tops on bedside tables. I also found spider webs on the ceiling, mould on the sheer curtains and the sliding door/windows were so dirty I could hardly see out. Service was usually good although they were so busy things like coffees took ages to come. Happy that the breakfast buffet had some gluten free options. I probably wouldn’t stay again.

Staff was excellent both in the restaurant, and by the Pool. Pizza by the Pool was excellent but other food offered was ok.

Staff are very accommodating and made us feel special. This really made our holiday memorable. I have been going to the Marriott for over 30years with my family and now bring my own. This trip brought back memories from when I was a child and holidaying at the Marriott.
