This place is not bad at all. I stayed 3 nights on business travel recently. Property was fine, well located and clean. The beach in back is nice and peaceful. Its not a huge beach by any means, and not really the kind of water you swim in. This is more of a scenic type experience. Beach and outdoor area were always clean and maintained. Clean… Read more
This place is not bad at all. I stayed 3 nights on business travel recently. Property was fine, well located and clean. The beach in back is nice and peaceful. Its not a huge beach by any means, and not really the kind of water you swim in. This is more of a scenic type experience. Beach and outdoor area were always clean and maintained. Clean room, lobby, and common areas. Attached parking garage is convenient as well. Bed and pillows was average comfort you find at most hotels. Shower water pressure was decent. View from my room was very nice. Front desk staff I encountered was neutral, some of the time I was greeted first without first giving a greeting myself but on occasion I was ignored unless I approached the desk with a question. Upon check-in, I did not get any verbal information on the restaurants or ammenities like one typically would at check-in. I figured out where stuff was on my own but never used any of the hotel ammenities. Another day my key card wouldn't work so I went down to let them know. One of the staff took it out of my hand and did something and then gave me what seemed like a different card. No explanation on why that would happen or how to prevent it. I did ask and was just told "it happens all the time." Nobody was outwardly rude to me, it was just a neutral experience. Property felt safe and secure, so that was nice as a single female traveler. Overall I would stay again when in town for a trip. Read less

Beautiful property...but the private beach is a postage-size on the intercostal; we thought we would actually have a beach...lesson learned. The housekeeping, restaurant staff, and valet staff were excellent. The front desk, however, can take lessons from them about politeness and professionalism.

Beautiful property...but the private beach is a postage-size on the intercostal; we thought we would actually have a beach...lesson learned. The housekeeping, restaurant staff, and valet staff were excellent. The front desk, however, can take lessons from them about politeness and professionalism. We had 3 different front desk associates we tried to receive assistance from at various times of the stay. 1. Don't lean against the wall and act as if we're insignificant and a bother when checking into the hotel at 5:00. 2. If someone asks for help and you don't know the answer, tell them and try to get the answer 3. I'm no better than you and you're no better than me...however, I will treat you respectfully and request the same in return. 4. As for the "complementary" chargers - It would be helpful to put signs on the EV chargers to assist people who are trying to charge their cars. Recently, a young lady was extremely frustrated and had to ask for help as she was unable to charge her car. She called the number on the device, but it was registered to someone else and there was no way for her to charge her car. I expect better from Marriott properties. Read less

The pics show a nice beach but when you arrive it’s small and it could be nice but they only have 10 lounge chairs for the entire hotel to use. No pool area either. People actually leave their belongings on the chairs to reserve them and leave for lunch. The grand Hyatt accross the way is much nicer and has a pool area with a nice restaurant… Read more

This hotel and their staff members were incredible. It is a nice, quiet place, with a beautiful view. The Starbucks on the premise was a bonus. Sitting in the lobby with a book or an ipad was a nice down time for me. 6 minutes from places to eat.
