Its pools are the standout: an indoor pool, an outdoor pool overlooking the Atlantic, and a saltwater pool.

What guests say

Guests praise spacious, well-equipped villas with comfortable beds and spa-like showers, and a wide range of activities across several pools. The beach is reached with golf-cart transport, the grounds are well kept, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Villas

The villas have separate living and dining areas, and the resort’s own listings describe two- and three-room layouts. Confirm the layout you want when you book, since it varies by unit.

Pools, Beach and the Pool Bar

Sea Salts Beverage Company Pool Bar & Grill runs seasonally by the pool. The beach is reached from the resort’s private beach area, and some owners note the walk to the sand is longer here than at the other oceanfront Marriott resorts, so ask for a villa nearer the beach if that matters.

Choosing Between the North-End Resorts

Marriott’s Barony Beach Club is the other Marriott resort up here and has a spa. SurfWatch has the saltwater pool.
