I am sure different people can form different opinion so here are the photos I took. See for yourself. Below is the Resort View Suite facing the car park and a tennis court. They might as well call it City View! It's a good size but just doesn't look like it's been recently refurbished. If it was, it was quite a soft refurbishment, especially the bathroom.
Below is the Ocean Premium Room. I much prefer this one even though the room is much smaller but the view is great.

That does look quite dated, I'm thinking if I made the right choice or are there better resort to pick in GC

All of the furniture is new as are the rugs, light fixtures and fittings and the rooms have been painted. These are not options, these are facts.
If you booked the lowest category suite that doesn’t have an Ocean view that can’t be a criticism.
The Ocean Suites are wonderful and the villas exceptional,
Again, there is no other 5 star hotel with direct beach access on the GC.

Just got back from a stay here. Even though less than 2 years later than margarita girl, they've changed the amenities for platinum elite, and there was no sparkling wine as part of the welcome amenity (I guess it might've gotten overlooked), and the two free drinks were only the cheap beer/wine options, not cocktails or even the full beer and wine list.
The rooms haven't been refurbed recently. Definitely starting to look worse for wear compared to a few years ago (villas are in decent shape though). Maybe the furniture was replaced, but definitely feeling tired (as is the pool area).
All that said, I still love the vibe and the location, and can't beat being able to go directly from the pool to the beach.

I went to the Gold Coast in 2018 and it was most definitely slammed. I think we paid approx. $400AUD per night for our stay there so I expect the JW to command more of a premium from the affluent holidaymakers.

I don’t know why you’re so insistent with your incorrect opinion on current events. If you were aware of the nature of domestic travel currently in Australia then you would understand.

I am fully aware of the nature of domestic travel in Australia presently with border closures between states and restrictions on travel.
