AAward travel took us from DFW - MIA - SKB. About 6 hours flying time.

Marriott had a Suite Promotion going on that we took advantage of. We reserved a $169 small suite in one of the garden towers but were nicely upgraded to a Royal Suite on the top floor of the main building. 1000 sq ft, spacious and comfortable and views of both the Atlantic and Carribean.

The resort is huge. Very spread out, roomy, with large pools, and a good beach. The seaweed was not a problem while we were there. We swam with a sea turtle the last day we were there.

Hotel was maintained to about an 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. Most everything was spotless, but there are enough plants and salt water that a bit of rust or blowing leaves/flowers can't be helped. Overall we were very happy with its appearance and the grounds.

We had the breakfast buffet at the Calypso restaurant once, and ordered from their "diner" counter twice. Great food and service all three times. Had evening dinner at the La Cucina Italian place on-site; great meal and service. The Antipasta bar was amazing. Had our anniversary dinner at the Blu Seafood restaurant. Again, great meal and service. And ordered small pizzas twice by the pool. They were good.

Drinks were surprisingly cheap and bartenders were very quick to take care of you.

A sundry shop, gift shop, and duty free shops are all in the hotel. Prices are high for everything except the booze.

We went to the casino and it was nice. Not too much cigarette smoke which made us happy. There is a club inside of the casino that was small, but very nice. We enjoyed drinks and live music there.

Overall, we had plans to show up, relax, spend quality time together, have fun, and go home. Mission accomplished and this might be a perfect Resort if you have the same plan.

Mrs Slpybear is planning on a return visit with the kiddos next year.
