“Food and Drink $$$”

Aug 16, 2025OnTheBeach321

Just returned from the Marriott today, not our first visit to this hotel. The property is beautiful, the staff quite efficient, rooms good...but the drink and food prices over the years are the elephant in the room!! Be prepared for $20.00 to $30.00 drinks for common gin or whiskey, wouldn't want to imagine premium! Evening simple buffet was $49.00 per person, very good but a very small spread. Been here a few times over the years, as we have the Ritz next door...food and drink pricing has just become too pricey for us to likely return, but it IS a beautiful place!! The Ritz has the same pricing but without the screaming kids whose parents think we are all impressed!!

“Anniversary Celebration”

Jul 31, 202519saluki65

Have stayed there several times and always loved it, even while they were doing renovations. The reno's are beautiful, pool, lazy river, rooms, all were first class. The problem was the food choices. Nothing very healthy at the Kitchen, Pool Bar, and Primo. Primo was excellent, our waiter was outstanding and the food was good but sooooo rich. No relief with a vegetable or salad choice and since it was on the HIGH end of prices, it was disappointing to not have more fresh choices. For the size of the hotel, the dining choices were below what they used to be. Won't return to this Mariott.

We were attending a National Convention, we chose not to stay onsite the entire time because of the thousands of dollars it would have cost us (11 days total). This required us to drop off our daughter, bring her meals during breaks, and pick her up in the evening. The person who was there at 6:45am on the first day was very aggressive about us not being able to park near the valet to drop our kids off; he yelled at us and made us very uncomfortable. The parking is $40 after 15 minutes, we spent around $120 for about a total of 4 hours during the week. They were so greedy for the parking money, they blocked off the drop off area for the convention center, so it was hard and sometimes dangerous to pick up our daughter, they only allowed valet ($85) on the 4th of July and on the last day when our family member drove in to attended a gala event at the hotel, (tickets were $200) the hotel only allowed valet IF she was a guest staying over. This is after they had blocked all visitor self-parking. When we checked in and used the pool, there were people checking bags and confiscating items. They were not very kind, I watched one woman have her bag pulled to the point where she had to stop him so he didn’t pull her arm any further. I have never had someone checking bags at a pool, especially at a resort of this caliber. One of the best things was having DoorDash deliver directly to your room, on our last day about 2 hours prior to check out time, we were informed that they were not allowing DoorDash drivers to rooms and we needed to come down to get our food. It took us 15 minutes to get down and 25 minutes back up because there were only 2 elevators working. Small I know but it was still a major inconvenience. Pricing of breakfast buffets were around $45 per person. The restaurants in general were fine but WAY overpriced with only grab and go sandwiches which they ran out of frequently, and of course they were overpriced as well ($12-15). The entire time I felt like we were being watched to be told what we could not do, or that we were being nickeled and dined for every single thing even though we had paid a premium to stay at this hotel. We were not shown any exemplary service. I will always pay for and not complain when my experience is awesome. Having stellar customer service is something that goes a long way with me, this hotel while it has many amenities, comfortable beds, and is beautiful, really needs to work on making their guests, ALL of their guests, feel like they are worth the price of what they are paying, whether it be parking, attending a conference, or eating at a hotel restaurant. Being a Bonvoy Member that searches out Marriott hotels to stay in when we travel, I have high expectations. I have had amazing experiences from a Springhill Suites to the Ritz Carleton. The JW Marriott is a beautiful hotel but it comes up pretty short on a few major but simple custom service initiatives.
