Great location, and I loved swimming with the fish in the hotel pool. The restaurant across the street serves a delicious breakfast, and the service was absolutely impeccable. I really like this hotel and highly recommend it!

The customer service and cleanliness were really subpar. I've already spoken with the hotel manager, and even the executive housekeeper admitted that this level of cleanliness is "unacceptable and not what you'd expect from a five-star hotel." On the other hand, the hotel's water facilities were great, and the front desk service was also very good. Breakfast was just okay, and the buffet restaurant was a bit small, leading to long wait times.
Premium service is all about interconnected elements; if any link in the chain is weak, it negatively impacts the customer experience.

Perfect for a lazy day by the hotel pool, complete with a slide! Parking is AUD 24 per day. It's quite close to Surfers Paradise, and you can easily catch the G-link light rail directly from here.

The environment, hygiene, and facilities were all good, and the service was acceptable. My only minor regret is that there were two billing errors, which were only corrected after I called them later. However, I incurred international long-distance charges, and such incidents really put a damper on a traveler's mood. I hope this doesn't happen to any other guests in the future!

The hotel's location is quite good; you can walk to Surfers Paradise. The services and facilities are all good. However, there's only an outdoor pool, no indoor one.

Had a great experience, and the food was excellent. The kids absolutely loved the pool and snorkeling. The service was also top-notch. I'll definitely choose a big brand hotel again next time. It was a very pleasant vacation.

Location: I think this is one of the more convenient locations in Gold Coast.
Facilities: However, it doesn't have its own beach, only a saltwater pool. The breakfast is quite rich; it would be best if it could be delivered to the room. There's a car service from the airport to the hotel, but the tram isn't very reliable and sometimes stops running, so don't cut it close when going to the airport. This hotel is centrally located in Gold Coast, making it suitable for getting anywhere, and transportation is readily available. If convenience is your priority, this place is a good choice. Room service is also excellent, and it offers great value for money.
Service: There was a welcome drink upon check-in, and the staff were all friendly, though there was no Chinese-speaking service.

The hotel's front desk service was quite good; they even gave a small gift once they knew I was a Marriott Platinum member. The room was a bit damp, but clean enough. It's great for kids; we spent three days enjoying the hotel's beach and pool and didn't even want to go out. While the amenities can't compare to a water park, they were still very good. We'll definitely go back. The hotel breakfast was decent, just a bit crowded, so you had to queue.

This is an established, quality hotel, but it's a bit far from the city center and the beach. Breakfast was decent, but I felt the price was a little high for what you get.

The environment, hygiene, and all facilities are up to a certain standard. One thing that surprised me was that one of the hotel staff communicated with us in Cantonese and introduced us to nearby shopping malls and restaurants.

Every time I visit the Gold Coast, I stay at the Marriott, and the breakfast is always great.
However, the caps on the shampoo and other toiletries can be easily opened, which raises some safety concerns.
After 6 PM, there are no staff or services at the pool, and it's not lit. For children with UV allergies who wish to swim in the evening, it's not possible. December is summer in Australia, so it gets dark late. I hope the hotel considers extending the pool's closing time, especially since guests are here for a holiday. Thank you.

The hotel facilities are good and the environment is pleasant. The service was excellent; all our requests were met. The only thing is that the breakfast wasn't really suitable for Chinese tastes.
