This is a great location because it is on the “boardwalk” where you can walk to a variety of restaurants, some stores, and other hotels. The water is very calm on this side of the island, and perfectly blue and clear. This property was great for our family of 6, with a washer/dryer, full kitchen, two bedrooms, living area, etc. It’s probably the best of the Marriott properties for families, since it has a water slide and lazy river, along with the room’s amenities. Although the reviews say that technically you can’t use the Marriott hotel pool, you can. We had friends staying there so we bounced back between that pool/beach and ours, and you’re able to use your room number for charged at all three properties. The room was super clean and the gym was great, highly recommend. We’d stay here again.
