Pamela

The overall experience at the hotel was great, according to my parents’ feedback. However, there was a booking issue—I accidentally reserved two king rooms for three people instead of four. As a result, they charged us an extra fee for the additional person, even though the rooms were well within capacity. From my experience in other countries, hotels usually don’t charge extra as long as the number of guests doesn’t exceed the room limit. So this felt a bit unreasonable—almost like they were trying to take advantage of us. We ended up paying an extra $40. It’s not a huge amount, but it left a bad impression.

The hotel is under construction, which did make it a bit noisy at some places. But the manager did everything to make me feel comfortable, and she did give a room away from the construction. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back. Was a pleasure staying there

One of the best Marriott properties that I have stayed at recently. The front desk staff is exemplary and very well trained in hospitality. The room service food was superb and delish. The king bed was extremely comfortable. The view from the 18th floor was gorgeous!

We are repeat customers and we’ve always had a great experience here! Excellent customer service, beautiful facilities, and great food on-site with incredible scenery. Watching the sunrise through a sea view window is worth a visit by itself! The only critique I’d have is that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower/bath, but you do have a kettle available if need be. Besides that, this is a hotel I’d recommend for a true luxury experience!

Had the Moroccan scrub and massage - felt wonderful but I was a little worried about all the water wasted. The room was also a bit cool - might have been nice for it to be lightly steamy (like a mild sauna).

The property was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful concerning the property. It would have been nice if they had knowledge of museums and events in their area and cost of activities. It was very easy for them to call car service is for it and you can walk around the corner to a shopping center which had nice eateries and stores.

It is an absolutely magical spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The inly slight criticism that I have is that the building itself is a little dated and there are always problems with TV signal. I would not mind if there was not TV in my room but as the rooms have a TV, my expectation is that is should work.

I stayed there for 3 nights and I did not see house keeping. I notified front desk about it and was told house keeping will be there shortly. What a lie that was. The first night I was there , I was told I could not eat in the restaurants because they had reservations. I have never heard such a thing. They don’t have variety of food either.
