  Birthday Trip Accommodations.

  Super clean rooms with great views of the cruise ships! Rooms are exactly as pictured online with great lighting and a lot of plugs to charge devices if needed. The pool and bar/kitchen on the upper level are a good plus if you want to chill on the property for the day. Every staff I interacted with were very accommodating and super helpful in recommending taxis, spots to visit, places to get food and getting around the island. We had a slight issue with our bathroom, but they didn’t even take 15 minutes to resolve it. Housekeeping stays on top of cleaning everyday. Also, the hotel is placed at a very safe & convenient location- close to most of the highly visited areas & excursions by the beaches. There is also a casino, atm, & breakfast cafe as you exit the hotel across the street. There are no noise disturbances from other rooms or anything either.

  Great property

  We just got home from the Marriott Beach resort and had a great time. All the staff that we encountered were very nice and friendly; never ran across anybody that was rude. I booked and stayed in an oceanfront room with two beds for three people. The room was very nice, had plenty of space and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also spacious, tons of storage, nice water flow in the shower. There are three restaurants and since the property is a little bit isolated, we ate at all three restaurants. The people that I was traveling with are extremely picky eaters so hamburgers and pizza were eaten more times than I would like to admit. The prices were typical hotel prices, but actually were not much more than eating out at home in California. The steakhouse was very good and in particular the crab cakes were the best crab cakes we have ever eaten. They were hot tasty and three times bigger than anything we get home for about the same price. I had a fillet, which was very good. Another restaurant is located by the family swimming pool, which has a lot of under cover, shaded seating as well as seating out on the beach and near the pool. I had read several reviews that the service was pretty poor at this property, but tend to believe that most of the people that complain are professional complainers. I don’t really have anything to complain about. The only suggestion that I would have is that restaurant menus and hotels tend to be somewhat limited and I would’ve liked to have a little more selection. The third restaurant was in the lobby and has an Asian flair with a large bar. At night there was entertainment; a singer and two or three people with various instruments. There is also a pretty nice lounge for Marriott elite members, and we had breakfast there each morning. The staff there was also very friendly and helpful. There was what I would say pretty good breakfast, not spectacular but OK. There was always lots of juices, water, and alcohol to make most kinds of adult beverages. We were usually out in the afternoon, but there were snacks in the afternoon that mostly consisted of candy, junk food, and cookies. Each evening from 5 to 7 PM there was more dinner type food and a couple nights we did have dinner in the lounge. Other nights the food was not to our liking and we either ate in one of the restaurants or went into town. The property also has a dive shop and the people there were equally as friendly. There was one day a week where they had a free snorkel tour, and we took advantage of that where we saw the farm just beyond the breakwater where they are raising different types of coral to be planted for reef reconstruction. The beach itself on this property varies, depending on the exact location. The entire time we were there, it was extremely windy and portions of the beach had no waves where other portions of the beach sometimes had waves that would make entering the water for snorkeling a bit difficult. The breakwater did a good job to keep the swimming area calm for the most part by the visibility was not that great because of the wind. Because we wanted to see really good clear water, we did a private guided snorkel tour, which was really nice and if anybody is interested we went out with Remy of Remyx Tours and saw lots of larger fish, turtles, several tropical birds including magnificent, frigetbirds, brown boobies and terns, flying fish, and even a flying tuna that jumped out of the water. I read many comments before we left that people found that they could spend a lot more time on the island than a week and I think that we agree with that scenario. We did see a lot, but with the extreme heat and not being the type of people that sit around the pool or sit in the sun, we could’ve used a few more days to just do some more exploring. This is a great property whether you have a group (we saw a large wedding party and an organized to a group from the Netherlands), a family or a couple.
