We love the Marriott and have been coming for years but was super disappointed to have such a late checkin when we only were staying one night. The kids missed the slide as it closed at 4pm and opened too late in the morning which was the main reason we stayed (the pool). If these hours were extended it would be helpful! Other than that everything else was as expected and we had a nice comfortable stay.

This best 5star hotel in the gold coast with large swimming pool area and the best bathroom.

Overall, the hotel offered an excellent experience, and the children thoroughly enjoyed their stay. However, there was a significant issue during dinner service. After queuing, being seated, and placing our order, we endured a wait of over an hour before the first dish arrived, primarily due to insufficient staff. This delay not only disrupted our rest but also threw off our daily schedule.

Main reason we picked the Marriott was the lagoon pool which was lovely. It is very popular with families on the weekend so if you are looking for a quiet stay it would be better to stay mid week. The room was very comfortable. Food was nothing exciting but so easy to get an uber to restaurants/cafes.

Love this place, from fantastic staff that greet you when you first arrive to the great food at both the teppanyaki and breakfast restaurants the food is spectacular and as we were celebrating my partners birthday the staff had organised a beautiful wine and dessert in our room on check in, it is these small gestures that will keep us coming back. thank you to all the staff and personnel at the resort. it was a wonderful experience as always staying here. all the amenities and activities such as fish feeding at the resort reef pool were a bonus and adds to the experience.
