We had a wonderful stay at the Marriot from 7/23-7/27. The staff were extremely friendly and nice. The hotel is gorgeous. We loved our room. Our only complaint is that they need to move the breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu was very good. The dinner menu choice were excellent and the food was soooooo good. However, we was very disappointed with the breakfast.

The JW Marriott is nice, the rooms were clean and the customer service was great. It is on the east side of the Dutch island (~30 min ride), so it’s best to rent a car to get around (they have free self parking in a covered garage). I got a free upgrade to my room and had an early check in. The dining options are limited, so be prepared to venture outside. My only drawback was reception calling me the night before checkout w/ a fake survey to ask what time I’d be checking out the following day. I thought that was tacky to ask considering checkout is at 12. She proceeded to clean it up and say that they’d be happy to extend my stay.
