If one has been to the Carib. before, Marina Bay is above average in many areas. My wife and I spent ten days here from Oct to Nov.
Positives:
weather.. perfect high 80s, a three minute shower each day
beach: had the 1/2 mile white sandy clean beach to ourselves 7 out of 10 days
check in and office staff : super helpful
units: VERY large, VERY clean, fully equipped
eating out: near by, Coconut Grove at least 4 stars, Curry's a "wagon" that appears on Wed and Fridays for fish and chips($22 US for two included fish chips cole slaw shrimp)
eating in: modern super market about four miles away
price: about one sixth of Sandles.
staff: very friendly and helpful and eager to converse about their wonderful island
Cedar Valley golf course nearby..some difficult holes but FUN
Not so positives;
location:, should have a car, lots of construction(Sandles) going on up the road, with heavy truck noise all day
major resort about to be built to the west may (?) make the beach populated
rooms: could use a bit of T.L.C. BUT remember this is the Caribbean!!!
Great place to relax, read, enjoy the GREAT beach, and enjoy some wine.
