I just finished a stay here from 9-16May using my final pre-merger Travel Package. My SNA cleared and I was upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite. The room was nice, but the king bed wasn't as comfortable as I'm used to in Marriotts. The bathroom was split with a toilet and sink behind a door to the living room, then a sliding door into the rest of the bathroom which had a shower and sink and opened into the bedroom. There was, of course a separate door directly between the living room and bedroom.
We really enjoyed the property, the outdoor spaces are great and include a few lawns, one with adirondack chairs, one with bocce ball, and one with lounge chairs. The indoor pool was heated and has great rolling garage doors to get more of an outdoor feel. It is located just feet away from the outdoor pool which has lots of lounge chairs and such. Even on crowfed days, there were always vacant chairs.

We enjoyed being just north of the end of the boardwalk as the beach was much less crowded.

As Titanium, we received vouchers for breakfast at Tulu. Five of the days we ordered off the menu, but the vouchers are limited to two options: All American breakfast including 2 eggs, breakfast potatoes, and choice of bacan/ham/sausage or Good Start breakfast including oatmeal or granola with milk and fruit. Both came with juice, coffee and choice of bagel, blueberry muffin or toast. On the weekends, they had a buffet and were much much busier. Some folks had hour long wait times. We ate at Tulu one time for lunch, and it was alright but overpriced. It was hard to beat the convenience, though, being right off the beach.

They were doing daily cleaning with our longer stay, but 1 or 2 night stays only got cleaning by request. The M club remains closed.

Orions Roof on the top floor was truly fantastic, both the food and the views. Highly recommend it.

Even with the Travel Package Cert, it still cost a bit. $20 parking fee per day and $30 resort fee per day, but still well below the $3850 it would have been paying cash for the suite.

It is still a fairly new hotel and the public spaces feel fresh and clean, and being right on the beach is great. Even so, with the high cost, I would consider staying at the Cavalier itself which is an Autograph Collection Property that has it's own beach club next to the Marriott, though guests have to walk the 200-300 yards to get to it from the hotel. There is also a chauffeured shuttle, if you prefer. We couldn't do that this time since it is category 7 and my Travel Package was cat 6.
