We arrived at the Marriott about 10am and stayed about 5-6 hours. We went straight to the main desk, which was in kind of an open air lobby. We checked in, paid, they gave each of us (4 adults) wrist bands and coupons for discounts on dining purchases. We went outside and selected some deck chairs near the adult pool, under umbrellas. The main pool was a little more interesting in layout but they are not far apart. There were also lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach but we preferred the pool area. The umbrellas were large and fixed in place.
We snorkeled from the beach. The water was a little rough that day, but the beach area has some protection from a rock dike about 30 meters out, so there was an area calm enough to swim in. The water was clear; we saw some interesting fish, sea urchins but nothing spectacular.
There is an open air restaurant right by the main pool. We sat at one of their tables and ordered lunch and cocktails. The lunch and drinks were very good, and the service was friendly. We used the 4 coupons and a credit card to open a tab for the day.
The rest of our time we lounged and read our books, and took dips in the pool. It was a little cooler outside than we expected but not uncomfortable.
We had a great time. We enjoyed the pools, beach, food, and drinks. Everything there including the restrooms were spotlessly clean. There were only a few other people there that day, including one other family doing the day pass thing.
