Exactly as pictured and described, if not better! We've stayed at the Marriott resort years and years ago and now that it's part of the vacation club and shared with Royal Sonesta we weren't sure what to expect, but it felt seamless. The check in was different than the hotel and yes you have to call or text for house keeping etc, but that was all communicated! The garden unit is extremely convenient and almost off the main pool area, but very private and quiet. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need other than a stove, and the fridge is huge! We were surprised at how well the room was designed to optimize for space. Anything longer than 4 or 5 nights we we probably wouldn't have opted for a murphy bed, but it worked for the time were there. The resort itself is gorgeous and centrally located, were able to spend different days on the north or south side of the island without driving more than maybe an hour and fifteen. The gym was large and clean and we also enjoyed several meals at Dukes on property. Free parking and hotel shuttle were a huge plus!
