Disliked: Room comfort
What we liked: Staff’s helpfulness and quality of breakfast However, were disappointed with our stay: 1. we were informed that on the first full-day of our stay (6/2/25) the water would be shut-off between 12pm & 3pm. 2. On the second full-day of our stay (6/3/25), hot water was not available the entire day. We could not take showers in the morning and had to take cold showers in the evening. When we pay for an accommodation, we expect certain level of amenities and services as advertised. We understand that unforeseen circumstances do happen. However, the hotel offered no discount nor apologies when we checked out. In the future, we will be extremely hesitant to book a hotel under the Marriott brand.

While it’s a beautiful property, I didn’t feel it was worth the high price we paid. Thank goodness for our Expedia perk of free breakfast, because $18 each for a limited buffet was high priced in my opinion. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was very nice, and the ocean view when you stand at the window was lovely (no view from the bed or chair).

really one of the best hotels ive stayed in in a while. the staff was extremely helpful with check in and whoever decided to give complimentary hibiscus iced tea for guests should get a raise. the room was clean and comfortable. the view was stellar ! in the morning i had a truly delicious breakfast. well worth the $18 fee for the meal. its not like a regular hotel chain breakfast. its upscale with eggs made to order and quality choices. i really cant wait to come back to this hotel !
