Mariner Sands Hotels, Stuart

"rarely leave negative reviews, but the food at this hotel was completely unacceptable. Lunch and dinner were extremely disappointing every single day. The buffet had very little variety and often looked half empty, with multiple trays left unfilled. The options were repetitive and limited—basically just chicken and fish every day, with no effort to offer anything different. Desserts were even worse. There was usually only one option, and it was low quality. The “ice cream” was a flavorless frozen machine product that didn’t taste like anything. For a hotel of this level, this is simply not acceptable. Food is a major part of the experience, and they failed badly in this area. Everything else at the hotel was decent, but the dining situation alone would make me not return and not recommend it."

"Great and clean"

"Excellent staff and flexible financial help "

"I booked since the reviews and pics were decent online. I arrived and quickly realized the hotel was much more dated then the pictures show. The front desk person was nice, but this hotel can really use some updating. "

"Had a great time! Relaxing. "

"The room was good but not worth the $250 a night. Room service was below average. Last day they didn't even come so I asked for towels, no apology, not comment on why they did not come. The breakfast was BAD. Eggs were runny, sausage was rubbery, potatoes were not hot, I was totally disappointed. The only thing that was consistent was the oatmeal. And their milk was not cold either. It was room temperature. I was totally disappointed. But the location was good. That's why this place is so expensive. The location. "

"Hotel is very old and falling apart. Carpets smell musty and it was not a comfortable stay. Pillows were small & squared fro some reason. Place smelled bad. "

"The room air conditioner was making such loud noise that I couldn’t sleep well. The hotel is too pricey for the not updated rooms! "

"We always love our stay here. Beautiful decor, nice staff, gorgeous ocean front, and Drift restaurant is fantastic!"
