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!
