The Marriott Ocean club is not a "hotel" as many reviewers have called it. It is a timeshare! If patrons go to the Ocean Club believing it is a hotel, they will be highly disappointed. Also, the Ocean Club is not part of the adjoinining time share, so no, you cannot use their pool, nor the chairs on the beach---would... more

My family (elderly parents, husband, and 2 kids under 5) stayed at the Ocean club from October 4-18th. I used Marriott points to book a 2 bedroom villa and a one bedroom villa. I was happy to see upon check in that they had placed us as close to the ocean as possible, before the ocean front rooms began. As... more

Visited at the end of September. The plan was to stay 1 week in a 2 BR at the Ocean Club and then 1 week at the Surf Club. I fell in love with the Ocean Club and found a way to stay put! Rooms The 2 Bedroom unit is really nice. Lots of space, decent sized kitchen -- which... more

On the whole pretty good, a couple of incidents like the air conditioning breaking and fridge that didn't work but both were fixed quickly. Location couldn't be better. Most rooms seem to have a so so view of the ocean but only a few look directly out on to it. Staff were a little luke-warm, not super friendly but helpful... more

Beautiful balcony (double in size) that almost looked at the beach (higher floors have better views; we were on the third so we saw some ocean, some pool, some palm trees). Loved Simply Fish restaurant --put feet in sand... more

We are in our early 30s with 3.5 year old twin girls. The resort is safe and clean. There is a kiddie pool with beach chairs nearby. Parents can lounge with the kids in view. The beach is amazing. The sand realy is powder white/beige. We were able to go to the Surf Club freely and play in the lazy... more

This was an enjoyable stay. My husband and I stayed in the ocean club time share his parents gave us. It was a nice hotel, however, some of the staff is not very friendly. Front desk and concierge are great. Food and alchohol staff, not friendly and slow! Food is very expensive. $30 for two cheesburgers at the resort! Food... more
