Excellent Seafood Buffet

I had a chance to indulge in the seafood buffet at Citrique during my stay, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The variety of fresh seafood available was fantastic, and every bite was delicious. The attentive service only added to the experience, making it a highlight of my trip. I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!

Magical Pool Area

The pool area at the JW Marriott is absolutely amazing! The lagoon pool felt like paradise, and the vibrant atmosphere was perfect for families. I especially enjoyed the added touch of complimentary ice blocks for the kids while we relaxed by the water. It made for an very nice day of leisure for all!

Stunning Ocean View Room

During my stay, I was upgraded to an Ocean View room, and the view did not disappoint! Waking up each morning to such amazing scenery was truly a treat. The spacious layout of the room added to my comfort, and I appreciated that the amenities were consistently replenished. It made my stay feel extra special!

Kids Activities Galore

My family had a wonderful time at the JW Marriott, especially with the kids' activities available. My son attended a cooking class where he learned to make some fun treats. The staff were incredibly patient and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. Additionally, the poolside services for kids added an extra layer of enjoyment to our holiday!

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was generally accommodating and attentive, and the dining experience was truly exceptional, especially at breakfast. However, the noise from my initial room was quite bothersome, and I encountered several issues with my room keys. Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects of my stay, there were definitely areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the pool area was a highlight with sand and live fish, the hotel itself feels dated and the service didn't match the five-star standard I expected.

I had a mostly pleasant experience at this resort. While the room wasn't ready until 4 PM and I had a disappointing view, the pool area was fantastic and family-friendly. The service was quite good in the dining areas, but I felt the overall value for money was questionable given the high prices. Overall, it was a nice stay, but some improvements are definitely needed.

Rooms
