Stayed at the Grande Ocean (Dolphin unit) for 3 night long weekend. The 2 bedroom unit was very elegantly appointed and immaculate upon check-in. Very courteous staff at the front desk. The kitchen had adequate cookware/service for light cooking and breakfast for 8. The master bedroom was outfitted with a king bed, huge bath area (shower and jacuzzi), plenty of... more

We are "founding" members of this resort. We bought a week here before the buildings existed. One year later we had our 1st week visit (Pelican bldg) in 1995. Since then, the resort has expanded with more bldgs and pools. However, it still maintains its high quality of luxury, beauty and service. We were excited to return to our home... more

After reading the reviews on line, we thought we might have made a mistake in choosing Marriott's Grande Ocean. How wrong we were!!! One of the biggest complaints is that many rooms don't face the ocean...true, because of the expense of ocean property, I'm guessing that only 1/5 actually are ocean front. Ours was not, but we loved it. Our... more

OK, let me say that we have been going to the Grande Ocean for about 6 years. It never disappoints. The rooms were renovated about 4 years ago and still look pretty good.

Wonderful wonderful experience. Didn't want to leave. Truly a pleasure. Beautiful grounds, right on the beach. Staff was excellent. Room was gorgeous. This one would be hard to beat. Hope to come back really really soon. more

The shower floor in the master bedroom of our two bedroom unit had been " refinished " with an acrylic coating ( Tile would... more

CONTEXT: Our family and friends stayed at Marriott's Grande Ocean during Spring Break in late March, 2009. We were a family of four, including two 14 year old boys (our youngest son and his friend). We have stayed at over 20 timeshare resorts over the years and own weeks at 3 Marriott resorts. UNIT SIZE AND CONDITION: We stayed in... more

Our family of four ( 2 adults, 2 children (11, 10), stayed in the Sand Dollar building from March 14 to 21st 2009. Our 2BR unit was on the second floor so we did not have "ocean view". However, all units are so close to the beach, you can be down there within a minutes walk. The only heated outdoor... more
