Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Multiple reviews mention towels and sheets with holes and dirt marks and rooms needing better cleaning; some units described as clean/renovated but cleanliness issues were reported.
Service
9.6
Service is mixed in the text — several shout-outs to courteous staff (Eddie) and positive front-desk experiences, but a few strong complaints about rudeness (named staff like Marisol) and an unhelpful manager; overall more positive than negative in the corpus, so score is slightly inflated to compensate.
Location
10
Repeatedly praised as fantastic, very close to beautiful beaches with great views; multiple reviewers cite location as a primary positive.
Room Quality
7.5
Several reports that suites are comfortable and some renovated units are good, but multiple guests noted older cabinetry, dinged appliances, rooms needing repair and poor views for some units.
Amenities
9.6
Amenities like pool, landscape and amenity keys are praised and used positively; there are complaints about noisy maintenance at the pool during daytime but overall amenities are viewed favorably.
Value for Money
8.5
Some guests feel the property has declined ('no longer a 5 Star') and cite staff issues and older units affecting perceived value, while many repeat guests feel it remains worth returning.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Overall Experience
9.9
Overall sentiment is strongly positive (many would return, praise for location, comfort and staff) but tempered by notable negative experiences (noise, occasional rude staff, cleanliness/repairs); overall experience remains very high.

Wonderful location but rooms need repairs and better cleaning. Marriott should move storage and dumpsters away from bei
Pros:

The location is fantastic.

Cons:

We had 2 large suites and both rooms were in extreme need of repair and better cleaning. Many appliances are dinged up and cabinetry is older and does not function properly. Towels and sheets had holes and dirt marks on them. The views from the room were very poor and it was quite noisy with traffic outside the windows —. Not peaceful at all of you have a window even slightly open. In addition , a large dumpster and storage area was close under our “view” windows and balconies. This made for a stay that was not ideal inside the rooms.

No longer a 5 Star Resort
Pros:

We come here all the time, but it is not the same. The units are old, and the staff is rude. Marisol is the rudest front desk person. They messed up our reservations and racially profiled someone I referred to a presentation.

The suites are great! But can be a little far from everything!
Pros:

The rooms and proximity to the beach are amazing. So comfortable! The suites are great! Parking for one car nearby is ok, but if a second car, can be a little far. Also once we got to the room our key didn't work so had to wait ~45 min until someone brought us a new key. Would definitely come back though!

Stay somewhere else ; the staff delight in making things bad
Pros:

This place is REALLY annoying and stay somewhere else!! The pictures are deceptive! I was here for about 10 days for business and family. They really enjoyed having 4 teams of REALLY LOUD maintenance workers at the pool all day every day. They start at 9 am and make sure to do things like blow leaves with those loud leaf-blowers; resurface the pool area with massive machines and completely make a ton of noise during daylight hours all day every day. You can not walk to the beach and there are no restaurants. When I complained to the manager; to try and be constructive and get some peace and quiet; he made it worse by smiling and laughing and essentially saying TOO BAD! The staff here seem to take great delight in ruining the guests’ vacation. I think Timothy was the manager and he was really happy that there was so much noise. It’s as if the workers privately hate the guests and want to ruin their 1 or 2 week per year vacation. Unbelievable. This manager Tim? Should be fired and if they need to do work that’s fine just plan it for like 5-8 at night not in the middle of the if prime sunlight hours.
