This was a beautiful Marriott resort! We stayed in a studio suite that had a king bed, small lanai and a kitchenette (microwave, fridge/freezer combo) it was perfect for just the two of us. They also had BBQs around the property, but we didn’t use them. We spoke to some families and they said that the 1 bedroom was great for a family of 4-6. It has a full kitchen rather than eating out every night, which can be extremely expensive!
The pool and lagoon/beach areas were also amazing! Some other reviews said that they had issues finding chairs and shade after 8am, but we never had that issue. We always found great seats with shade if we needed it. We also didn’t feel the need to purchase a $30/45 cabana at the beach.
We had the breakfast buffet one day at the Longboard restaurant, which was mediocre, but had drinks and appetizers at Longhis and that was better! I’d highly recommend going to the Target, Safeway and/or Costco in the area for groceries, water, snacks, etc.
We also had a car, so many days we ate off the resort where some locals recommended for Poke, Loco Moco and Garlic Shrimp!
Overall, we had an amazing stay and would come back in the future!
