Room

- “So, one of the great things about this Marriott is it's a resort. That means there's a beach, lots of pools, swim-up bars, gyms, casinos, and great restaurants.” On camera101:26
- “Any inputs? Its really quite nice-- infinity pools, nice restaurants, really great spa. I didn't do a day pass here but did stay a few nights.” 3
- “Mediocre fare at hotel restaurant (typical of Marriott chain)” 7
- “I recall the seafood restaurant being pretty good too.” 17
- “This big, bustling beachfront resort offers something for everyone from families to conventioneers, golfers to gamblers.

- “The onsite restaurants are fine and reasonably diverse though nothing was spectacular.” 14
- “The best part of this area was the takeout pizza place. The pizza's here are amazing. They have been written about on other travel sites so it was great to be able to experience them ourselves. It is open into the night so we had pizza from there for dinner on 2 different evenings. Highly recommended.” 1
- “Our stay at the St Kitts Marriott resort was rather great. There are many facilities that you can use to vary your experience, and so many different food options that you cannot go wrong trying a different place each night.” 1
