Very nice facility however it is undergoing construction a fact that we weren’t made aware of until well after the booking. They also charge a resort fee (why not include it in the price of the room?) which were not made aware of until check out. We also had to pay extra for maid service ( again we were not made aware until check out) and parking. Where in the hell am I going to park? The parking garage was full so most everyone staying there, drove there. It’s not the kind of place you walk to or take the bus to. The advertised room rate is not what you pay.
Half the resort was closed for construction. No mention of this when I booked the resort. This was my 3rd time and I’m very disappointed. I only came back from the good experience. This is unacceptable!
Staff friendly and very helpful. Sonia was exceptional. We had a bit of a problem (my fault) but Sonia was very understanding and offered to help resolve. Thankfully I managed to sort it out.

Watch out because this hotel is under renovation so lots of construction going on which we didn’t know at the time of booking. We had a fabulous breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Jose the restaurant server was very attentive and accommodating. All staff members were very gracious under the circumstances of the hotel’s renovation.

I always wanted to stay at this hotel. The problem was it was always $65p a night. I saw was $300 on Expedia so i got it. Problem was when I arrived half of the property is under construction. The parking was expensive and the property was all ripped up. It was ok but not what I was expecting.
I paid extra to have a view and the hotel is under construction. It was horrible. Everywhere you see outside the hotel had construction going on. If I would have known that, I wouldn’t have stayed there. The price was too high for that. I was very disappointed because I was celebrating my anniversary.

There is major construction at this hotel. I was advised the only way to avoid some of the noise was to pay for an upgraded room on the other side of the hotel. Once there it was where they parked the construction equipment and once that started was far from quiet!
Great & friendly staff! Beautiful views and property even with construction happening….
However, room rates should be discounted during renovation on site.
The property is beautiful and it’s a prime location for ocean views! Great staff and knowledgeable about area.
The location is amazing but there was huge construction and I am not sure why we have to pay resort fees since there is no resort amenities
with construction going on You have to pay for parking your car
Property was a mess. No one informed us that it was under construction and nothing worked, including phones in room. Restaurant buffet was mostly canned items and poor selection of items.
However, the valets were awesome
Everything was great We have stayed here a few times and always a great stay.

Beware before you go - Marriott did not disclose construction- main pool is closed , we were put in a room facing garage, and bulldozer obstruct view of ocean- it was so disappointing
We were notified at check in construction was taking place directly below our room and the water was being shut off from !0:00 to 5:00. Not good

We could hear the people in the room next to us arguing and taking showers. They add a 20% service fee to everything even if you get the coffee from the barista in the lobby at the counter. The food was terrible and room service took 2 hours. They comped that meal but still... finally, our room was not cleaned until 4pm. We came back from activities at 3 and it was not cleaned. We had to call down for service.
Their "ocean view" rooms have no view of the ocean at all as they are completely blocked by tall trees. In the evenings and until dawn seals resting on the nearby docks bark loudly interrupting sleep. The hotel is also now undergoing massive renovations with dust and debris everywhere. People with asthma will have difficulties breathing. Even people with no asthma will be coughing heavily due to dust everywhere. None of this is advertised on their website nor Expedia. They should honestly disclose all of this before charging $500 per night. DO NOT STAY HERE.
