Marriott Vacation Club at Surfers Paradise in Gold Coast

First of all table was not ready. Secondly the variety was terrible! $89 PER HEAD with a very limited range seafood & cooked meats. SEAFOOD smelt off.

1 pasta
Bread rolls stale with NO BUTTER

Service was 1 out of 10. The waiter had a smirk when asking if we wanted drinks clearly as there was 2 pregnant women.

Never again!

$400 on about half a kilo of cheap prawns & salad

We were here last july 2016 and were very impressed with this place. That impressed we decided to come back with family tonight.

What a disappointment! The food quality has changed. The very small oysters weren't even worth the effort of eating. Tasteless, unlike last year, lovely size and plump and full of flavour.

Desert bar is nothing to talk about. Not much of a selection . Good for kids if you want ice cream.

Won't be back again.

Buffet @ $82/pax is not worth it.

Summary:
- Cockroach found, nothing done about it.
- Bad service.
- Food was not good, definitely not worth the price.

1/ Cockroach found crawling outside and across the window next to where we were seated at, and no action was taken for the first few times we raised the issue.

They say prawns are the cockroaches of the sea, and there was just no way I could continue eating any more seafood after that.

(We have photo evidence of the cockroach.)

2/ Service: From the moment we had approached the receptionist, Ryan, we had been served with a rather judgmental treatment, and was given the wrong information that it’s $82 PER hour.

When we shared about our experience while paying for the bill, he almost tried to quickly remove our feedback form. And simply shrugged and said there was nothing they could have done about the cockroach.

Wrong. The service staff could have changed our table right away and perhaps offer an apology or a drink. Instead, they let us sit at the table for another 15 min, before we had to alert them of the situation again to have a change of table. (And nope, the restaurant was not crowded.)

3/ The cooked seafood was not particularly fresh, and the desserts were quite a disappointment too.

Overall, a super disappointing dinner for our holiday trip.

Take your money elsewhere, Australia has MUCH. better food in other places.

(First time leaving an online review on anything because I absolutely had a nasty time at Citrique.)
