The hotel is a 5 min drive ($10 cab ride) or 15 minute walk to The Strip where there are several restaurants and bars open late which our two 18 year olds took full advantage of most nights. I would suggest also eating at the Italian place, La Cucina as it was great and the portion sizes were huge. We also ordered pizza at the Pizza Shack a couple of times and it was very good. We ate at Café Calypso for lunch when we arrived, and it was fine. They also charged duty free pricing on alcohol. ![]() They actually let you take the shopping cart back to the hotel as long as you brought them back. There is a grocery store a 2 minute walk away which we went to while waiting on the room to be ready. The maid came twice during the week to clean and provide fresh towels. We had a balcony that overlooked the ocean and shuffleboard court. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twins and their bathroom was much smaller and was detached in the hallway. The master bedroom had a comfortable king bed and had an attached bathroom which was a good size. The south pool has at least 4 gas grills for guest to use. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with everything you need to cook. ![]() The 2 bedroom unit had a full kitchen with large fridge, oven/stove, microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher. Our unit was on the 3rd floor in building 8 (Jessup House) which had a decent view of the ocean and was located between the main pool and south pool. They did give us an extra hour at checkout (11 am instead of 10 am). They let us in at 4 but the staff was still finishing it up when we arrived (we met some other guests and their room wasn’t ready until 6 pm). We arrived at 1:30 pm and it wasn’t available. They were correct when they said no check-in before 4 pm. We booked a 2 bedroom through Interval in the Marriot Vacation Club. Would definitely come back here and you can't go wrong with the Marriott here! … Very friendly people and relaxed setting. There are several beaches on the Caribbean side that are just a few minutes away with no seaweed and they are absolutely great! Cockleshell Beach was awesome with Reggae Beach Bar and Shipwreck Beach was also awesome with great snorkeling with just a pair of goggles! And we got to feed Monkeys at Shipwreck which was a first for me! And they also have a black sand beach as well! Both beaches are fantastic and both have beach bars serving frozen drinks! Broadly speaking, the vibe of the people really set St Kitts / Nevis apart. So the seaweed issue only impacts the Atlantic Ocean side of the island, not the Caribbean side. We got along totally fine without it though. ![]() Highly recommend this resort and it exceeded our expectations greatly! I was a little nervous before the trip reading about the seaweed on the beach which basically rendered swimming in the ocean at the resort out of the question. Restaurants were also very good on the property as well. Pools were great (3 big ones) and pool bar had a great vibe. My room was very nice and totally up to the Marriott standards we have come to know. Stayed here for a week (July 2023) with my wife and 2 kids (ages 25 & 18).
