Excellent property the only issues we had was with the shower in the primary bathroom not draining properly and the ceiling fan in the primary bedroom not functioning properly. We didn’t stay long so it wasn’t a huge issue as the ac was adequate and the shower was the worse the last day of our stay.

Our stay was overall okay, but a few things could be improved. The bathtub did not seem properly cleaned — there were hairs inside, so I didn’t feel comfortable using it. The water pressure was also a bit weak.

For a hotel in this price range and under the Marriott brand, the interior feels somewhat dated and could use renovation. It would also be nice to offer complimentary bottled water, as many hotels of a similar level do.

Overall, an acceptable stay but slightly below expectations.

had an amazing stay at this resort! There’s something for everyone—whether you’re traveling with kids, as a couple, or with a group. The pools are beautiful and well-maintained, and the activities kept all ages entertained throughout the day. The drinks were top-notch, with a great variety and excellent service. Our room was spacious, clean, and perfect for relaxing after a fun-filled day. Most importantly, it’s incredibly kid-friendly, which made our stay stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend for families looking for comfort, fun, and relaxation all in one place!

This resort is amazing! Lots of things for kids to do, easy access to the beach, rooms are very clean, and I appreciate the daily texts with the weather and what the hotel has going on. Only downfall is the indoor pool. The smell of chlorine is very strong and the hotel restaurant can take a really long time to get food. Outside of that, it was perfect! We would definitely reconsider visiting this resort in the future!

The property is beautiful! We thought the staff were all very helpful and very professional. We stayed from Thursday thru Sunday.

We would recommend the Sand Dollar Grille on the property for a casual meal. We had two meals there and they were both delicious and the personnel was great.

We were told housekeeping would be by to clean our room on Saturday at a specific time, so we made plans to be out of our room at that time, but they never came. Realistically, it was not an issue since we were leaving the next day.

The only real complaint was that we found the WiFi to be very weak and this was an issue for us. Overall, we would definitely stay there again with no hesitation.

They had 7 pools and 2 giant hot tubs, a sauna, spa, playground, fire pit, activities. This place is so big they have shuttles to take you around the property. Im telling you this place is a must if your going on vacation!

Beautiful Place to Get Away

We stayed for three nights and housekeeping never once offered any services. It’s a beautiful property, but access for my disabled spouse to the Conch tower was difficult and cumbersome. The staff was friendly and helpful getting our luggage cart to our room, but the walk to the room was difficult.

Ocean view with no Ocean in sight

I booked an ocean view 2 bedroom villa and when i checked in i was facing a parking lot. When I contacted the front desk I was dismissed and advised that my room considered ocean view. There was no view of the water. I specifically chose to stay at this hotel for the view. Needless to say I won’t return.

Rodent in our villa terrible guest relations

The level of service here was the absolute worst I have ever seen. I am in the travel business and have definitely seen a wide array of client service and by far this was the terrible. Let’s begin with the fact there was a rat/mouse in my children’s room. My daughter was traumatized seeing it scurry around and came screaming down the hallway. We called the pine villa manager on duty that night and he indeed caught the rodent with my 3 children screaming in the room. They moved our room but we had wet laundry and dishes for my kids sports tournament running so we didn’t actually settle into the new room until after midnight. This all of course comes after we got our room keys later than the promised 4pm check in time as well. Additionally when I was waiting for the call for our room to be ready the front desk charged my credit card 2 times. When I called and asked why they processed a charged over $10K they just brushed it off and said oops that was an accident and confirmed they did so with their accounting contact. We waited and waited for the general manager to contact us all morning and even with me messaging them they called to acknowledge the rodent at 12pm the next day! They said they could only give us bonvoy points which translated in dollar amount of $166 which is a joke. The right thing would be to take off the first night from our folio!!! We would have been fine paying for the other 4 nights but that 1st clearly should have been on Marriott NOT us! Not ok!!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Watch. The rooms are extremely clean and fully equipped with everything you need. Love that they had a washer/dryer with laundry detergent. It’s really hard to book since this is a time share location. My only suggestion would be to block off more rooms per month for non members that do not wish to purchase a time share.

First night dead roach on floor. Not so much for a “cleanliness resort”. Second day no hot water which lasted for two whole days of inconveniences. On the second day we had a timeshare presentation while on tour we actually made the decision to purchase because we love the kid friendly environment we got from this resort last year. Due to the nature of poor management and poor excuses and just how management treated us we had to cancel the very next day. I will no longer be coming back to this location. The employees are rude as hell. Management gave us nothing but poor excuses and refused to move our room when it’s there fault it was no hot water for 2 days. There was one manager who even told us “it’s not there problem on why there’s no hot water” clearly it is if I’m the only room that has no running hot water for two whole days. That took time out of my vacation for two days. I traveled with 3 small children and they needed hot water. This resort change so much money but yet they treated us so bad when we wanted to just become owners and enjoy our vacation. But the run around, poor excuses, rude responses and poor mishandling we will no longer will be coming back to this location and we will be sure to let our friends, family, and others know beware of this awful resort with horrible management!!! This is awful how you treated people who wanted to actually spend money and purchase out of the love of the resort. But thanks we will not be coming back, and we’ll tell others
