Spacious, well appointed rooms and no hassle/hustle. Enjoyed every moment we spent there (Nov 30 - Dec 5 2007). Guest services were always prompt and courteous when we had questions.
We didn't find the outdoor pools to be heated as we thought they would be...this is the only thing that keeps me from rating it 10.0.
I am very likely
to return to the Marriott's Grande Ocean.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
