Surfers Paradise Marriot Resort & Spa – Breeze Bites

This hotel is a no brainer for me. I’ve stayed here numerous times with and without kids and enjoyed every aspect; day spa, restaurants, the pool bar and of courses the famous man made beach and reef pool area.

 Breeze Bites Ratings:

Rating - 18/20

For me what cements this hotel as the best on the Gold Coast is its man made reef pool and entire swimming area - nothing else like it in Australia.

Set amidst lush tropical gardens with cascading waterfalls, hidden rock grottos, waterslides, spas and the area's only private salt water lagoon where guests can swim and snorkel with tropical fish. You get a better deal here then swimming on the Great Barrier Reef (visibility is perfect and there is always fish).

I could go on and on about its breathtaking location, pristine beaches, fashionable shopping and picturesque hinterland views, but what really sets it apart from other hotels on the Gold Coast and Queensland - it’s an elegant playground for all generations.

Families, oldies and celebrities all enjoying the amazing facilities. These spacious grounds allows everyone of every age to experience luxury without the feeling of being on top of each other, and that’s why this hotel works.

Other facilities include:

•  Unique dining experiences include; Japanese cuisine prepared by entertaining teppanyaki chefs at Benihana; fresh, local seafood at Citrique (buffet restaurant)

•  The luxurious Lattouf Hair & Day Spa offers a range of relaxing spa treatments in incredible surroundings

•  Hair salon

•  24-hour gymnasium

This hotel has amazing standards and a great reputation. I think it deserves every one of its five stars.
