    There was not a lot of information about the resort or the facilities available - for instance, there is a laundry there that weren’t advised of. It would have been great to know to be able to do some washing whilst staying here.

    The facilities, the bathroom amenities, bedding

    I didn’t like the bed or pillows, I found it hard to sleep and so did my husband.

    I loved the friendliness of the staff, they were the best. I loved the amenities and the style of the resort. It looked beautiful.

    My room was on the 27th floor to start with though i requested a lower level. I had to stay the first night in a different room and move the next day. Even though i was disappointed, staff assisted me.

    Rooms were amazing. Staff fabulous. Very impressed.

    I can’t fault anything at this point.

    Even though it’s just an overnight stay, we felt like we’re treated as guests staying for a week. Transport, comfort, and atmosphere made our bachelor weekend a success. Our interactions with staff were just phenomenal, natural, and not scripted.

    The chaotic nature of breakfast. You couldn't turn round without a small child running into you when you were carrying hot food and drinks.

    Our room was spacious and well equipped. It had a small balcony with fabulous views over the ocean and the lagoon. Generally the staff in the hotel were very friendly and helpful.

    Perfect Blend of luxury, Comfort and stunning Views - An unforgettable stay at JW Marriot

    We had a truly exceptional experience at JW Marriot Gold Coast Resort and Spa. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top notch. The staff were warm, attentive and went out of their way to ensure every need was met. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed and immaculately clean offering the perfect blend of comfort and luxury with a breathtaking view from the balcony. Waking up to a panoramic view of high-rise buildings of gold coast along with a view of sea was an unforgettable and mesmerizing experience and added extra layer of relaxation to our stay. The amenities were outstanding with elegant and relaxing ambiance making it an ideal place for both business and leisure stays. Highly recommend JW Marriot Gold Coast Resort and Spa to anyone looking for a luxurious and seamless stay. I look forward to returning!

    These are very minor complaints, as we really did enjoy our stay. I feel the food in the main bar can get a bit boring quite quick if you're staying for a few days. It's decent, but the menu is not extensive, and can feel quite heavy. There was construction on site while we were there, which made the lagoon time a bit less relaxing than we'd hoped. Finally the sports outdoor area is looking pretty tired. Tennis court was out of action, and the other area could do with some love too.

    Really enjoyable school holiday break. The hotel was extremely busy, but still managed feel quite comfortable. There were always plenty of deck-chairs available by the lagoon, we rarely had to wait around for busy lifts during the breakfast rush, and even the occasional queue for the breakfast was handled very well. Rooms are impeccable, and the staff are excellent across the board.
