Experience the magic of Gold Coast at Marriott Vacation Club At Surfers Paradise, a 5-star family-friendly resort featuring premium amenities like heated freshwater pools, tennis facilities, and co-located with the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa. The property provides a range of dining options and offers family-friendly accommodations with kitchenettes and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Rooms & Amenities

Marriott Vacation Club At Surfers Paradise offers deluxe guest rooms and one- to two-bedroom suites that include kitchenettes, sofa beds, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Each accommodation provides views of the pool or city from a furnished balcony.

Dining Options

Dining options include Citrique, offering a seafood buffet and locally sourced seafood, and Misono, a Japanese steakhouse with teppanyaki-style cooking. Chapter & Verse provides a lounge setting for international fare and high tea.

Leisure & Activities

Leisure amenities feature a full-service spa, heated outdoor pools, a Sport Court(R), tennis courts, and a saltwater lagoon where guests can snorkel among tropical fish. The property also has an activities center and bicycle rentals available.

Location & Transportation

Visitors can easily explore attractions such as Sea World Gold Coast and Dreamworld. Public transportation options include bus stops within a short walking distance, providing convenient access to the city center and local points of interest.

“The resort definitely appeals to families, but I think it's worth noting the co-location with the JW Marriott adds a dimension of elevated dining-especially the teppanyaki. I'm impressed by the dual freshwater and saltwater lagoons; it is a rare aquatic amenity, and the lack of resort fees feels like an honest invitation to enjoy the Gold Coast. It looks like a spot to truly unwind, especially with a cocktail from one of the restaurants.”

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Marriott Vacation Club At Surfers Paradise! The resort was impeccably clean with spacious rooms and stunning views of the lagoon and pools. One downside was the lack of a larger salad bowl in the kitchenette, but the amenities overall were great. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the main beach, and I loved the easy pool access. I'm definitely coming back soon!

My stay at Marriott Vacation Club At Surfers Paradise was a blend of highs and lows. While the pools and services were fantastic, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at Marriott Vacation Club in Surfers Paradise. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of everything, but the rooms were outdated and cleaning was not up to par. While the pool and shared amenities were enjoyable, my stay was marred by issues with room cleanliness and comfort.
