Featuring a private saltwater lagoon, sandy beaches and an artificial reef with tropical fish, the 28-storey JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is set in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Guests enjoy panoramic hinterland and river views, 5 on-site dining options, and a fitness centre.

Friendly staff. Holley at Reception was very welcoming. Although Check-in was at 3pm, as we had informed we would be arriving at ard 11am, Holley got a room ready for us to check-in early and enjoy the resort facilities. Welcome drink was tasty and my kid enjoyed the welcoming experience. Pool and salt water lagoon was the highlight of the stay. Excellent spread for buffet breakfast. Definitely recommend staying here again.

    It is not far from the main action of Cavill mall, but far enough away that it's quieter. However our apartment faced the waterpark of the family resort next door. At least it was quiet by 8:30pm.

    This is the perfect family resort. With the pools, water slides, mini golf and cinema on-site and very short walk to the beach, supermarket and chemist, once you arrive, you don't need to leave. Perfect if you have younger kids and really don't want to deal with the crowds at the themeparks!

    The apartment is in a fantastic location, with incredible views over the heart of Surfers and the ocean. It is large, comfortable, airy and modern and a very enjoyable space for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teens). We also received an early check-in which was perfect for us and very good of the rental agent (Gold Coast Luxury Resorts) to arrange.
