Overall we had a good stay at Marriott Beach Resort. The staff was incredibly accommodating. Service was great. The food and drinks were great. The resort common areas are well maintained. The bed was comfortable and the linens were luxurious. There were always plenty of beach/pool towels and there are tons of pool lounge chairs. As long as we got down to the pool by 11am, we were always able to find 4 chairs together in good spots! I have some criticisms, The room (472) needs some MAJOR TLC. There is an overpowering mold smell coming from the refrigerator area. The tile/grout is filthy dirty. I mean, BLACK. I did not want to be barefoot in the hotel room. I totally understand that the resort is busy, but you cannot tell me that the rooms are booked solid year round. They could absolutely have a crew that did a deep clean on the floors periodically to help with the flooring and some good overall dusting and wiping things down very well. In the bathroom, there was something nasty spilled on the wall by the trash can prior to our stay, and it was NEVER cleaned. Right before we departed I took a wash cloth with a little soap to see if the "spill" was a stain or actual spill. It wiped off with some effort....so, that was totally gross and disgusting. There was also surface mold coming through the paint on the wall. The door jamb in the bathroom, (on the floor), was also completely rusted and dirty. I really feel for the price point of the hotel that this is not acceptable. Also, my son stayed in a different room and the people staying next door to them smoked weed the entire stay, constantly. The smell was overpowering in their room. After the 5th day they complained to security and nothing was done. Upon checking out we told the desk again and told them it was not okay and the people should have been reprimanded. So NOT cool Marriott! The chairs on the balcony were cheap plastic and very uncomfortable. Housekeeping never cleaned our windows and they were milky dirty. You could barely see out of them! I also noticed that whoever cleans the pool area at the end of the day(or morning) miss A LOT of trash.

“great beach side off a cruise ship”

great beach and pool area when you are on a cruise ship but i am sure it would be a great hotel room too

“Nice place but can't use the beach”

We had a 2 bedroom condo at this resort for 9 days. Pros: They room was clean and had a wonderful view of the Atlantic (more on this later) It had a full kitchen and there is a Ram's grocery store close. The pool was nice and the larger one had a swim up bar. Cons: It was nice but the beach is com… more

We had a 2 bedroom condo at this resort for 9 days. Pros: They room was clean and had a wonderful view of the Atlantic (more on this later) It had a full kitchen and there is a Ram's grocery store close. The pool was nice and the larger one had a swim up bar. Cons: It was nice but the beach is completely unusable unless you don't mind mounds of seaweed and the smell of rotting fish. It was really rough as well. They did provide a shuttle to another beach on the Caribbean side of the island twice a day but they were never times we could take. There were little bugs/ants in the room. In a place where bugs outnumber people probably 1000 to 1 and it being tropical, it's normal. They were just in one please and didn't really bother me. Most of the people were nice but some seemed bothered by you There was one person that worked there that did tours to Nevis on his days off. He did tell us that the ferry was extra but not all people on the tour. What he didn't tell us was the taxi's were not included as well. You can take a taxi to the strip on the Caribbean side of the island which was beautiful. They have tons of restaurants there and the lobster is great. We ate at The Monkey Bar, Mr. X's Shiggidy Shack, Patsy's and The Dock. All of them were great and pretty affordable especially compared to the places at the resort. It's well worth the $10 each way to go down there. The dives were the only thing that saved the trip there. Auston at Pro Divers was amazing and the dives were so relaxed. They were all a short distance from the dock, the water was calm and visibility great. We saw several sharks, octopus, eel, lobsters and tons of reef fish on our 6 dives. Loved the plane and bulldozer!
