I stayed at this hotel for 5 days, the staff was very helpful and friendly, the view was amazing, although it was one of the pricier hotels we could have stayed at it was so worth it. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, especially couples, but families too.
The pool was really great and the ocean was only about 15 feet from the rooms. They have a turtle refuge, where they incubate eggs to save them from being eaten by the crabs. There is a kid play area where they will watch ur children. It's very close to the Marina, 5 min walking distance.

This place was beautiful. The service was great, excellent food, stayed for thanksgiving and they had a great buffet with Turkey. Room had an excellent view of the bay and was perfectly clean.
Right on the ocean, with a great big pool, with a nice bar in the pool.
We had been looking online for a Mexican vacation since neither of us had really been in Mexico-- border towns excluded. Upon looking around, I found that the Marriott seemed to have the nicest rooms, best views and best location. I found it to be everything that I wished for in a truly "relaxing" vacation. We were not looking to do tons of activities or run around the city, so this was perfect. We were able to lay by the pool and just soak up the sun. The hotel is currently still under construction, so they gave us about 150 USD to spend around the hotel. This was perfect because we were able to have dinner at every restaurant on site. The rooms were good size and they had 40 inch flatscreens in them! We did not spend much time in the room, but ours actually had ants that were coming through the wall and into the bed. We called down and a guy came up with a can of raid!!! I said "hell no you aren't spraying that in here before we go to bed!" We ended up getting another 75USD and the ants were no longer an issue after they cleaned the room while we were gone. The concierge was very helpful for restaurants in the area and suprising enough, the taxis had set prices. Of course if you go outside the hotel you can save about 2 bucks, but most times it was not worth the hassel of arguing. This was a great hotel and we actually met a lot of people that we live near. We have made plans to go up to Vancouver to see them and they to come here... great hotel... great experiences... great vacation spot!!!
The different restaurants in this place were incredible! The breakfast at Las Casitas was awesome!!! I had the crunchy french toast everyday!!! The pool was comfortable and just steps away from the ocean. The staff was (at times) pushy to get you to drink, but that is how they make money!!! The drinks were great and the swim up bar easily accessable under a waterfall!
