We arrived at Marigot Bay for the weekend to attend a wedding. The rooms are nicely appointed and the beds have mosquito netting that provide a romantic air. The minibar is stocked with sodas, fruit juices, water, and beer and all charges are included. There is both free WIFI and Ethernet connections in the rooms and the internet service is also included in the cost of the room. Do be aware that some of the rooms are located at the top of a steep hill and involve climbing stairs that may be difficult for guests with physical disabilities. The staff have courtesy golf carts and will pick you up and take you anywhere you need to go on the property. We ate at the hotel restaurant for breakfast (standard breakfast buffet with some local items) where you can watch the million dollar yachts dock. Service was slow in the restaurant for dinner, one evening. There are several swimming pools to choose from. The beach is nearby, but you have to take a boat to it, which is provided free of charge. We did not go to the beach on this trip. There is a spa and several exercise classes offered daily. Overall, this is a beautiful place to stay and unwind.

My husband and I have just returned from a 1 week stay at Discovery at Marigot Bay. We booked it in the Autumn of 2007 after which I read all the reports on Trip Advisor. I have to say that I agree with all of the good reports and none of the bad. This resort is excellent, heaven on earth, the attention to detail is second to none. The staff are very attentive, nothing is too much trouble, and there are some little personal touches which I wont reveal and spoil the surprise for you. The property really is right on the bay, you couldnt get any closer unless you were on a yacht.

The rooms and suites are fitted out to the highest quality and are very spacious. Everything is exceptionally clean and well maintained. If you book a suite there is a full kitchen with all facilities and a utility with washer, a washing line, ironing board and iron. The fridge is stocked with soft drinks and a couple of beers which are placed daily free of charge. There is shampoo, and conditioner, body wash, insect repellent and sun lotion provided (although be aware the sun lotion is a very small bottle so you cant rely solely on this). There are also cotton wool balls, emery board and cotton buds provided.

The restaurants and bars are open air, the breakfast choice is very extensive and the Hurricane Hole has a very extensive menu choice for lunch and dinner. The Boudreau restaurant and the Rainforest Hidedaway are both excellent for something a little more special.

We didnt travel around the island very much as this does mean either taxi by road (which are very winding) or water taxi and both myself and my husband can be prone to travel sickness. However, we knew from the outset we were to treat this holiday as total relaxation and the Discovery resort is just the ticket for that. We spent many an hour at the Hurricane Hole watching the world and yachts go by.

I cannot recommend Discovery at Marigot Bay enough, the only disappointment was that we had only booked 1 week and could certainly have stayed for 2. There is no doubt we will be returning in a couple of years.

just returned from my honeymoon, we stayed at this hotel for 10 nights and have not one complaint, the beach there is not the best but there is free kyaking etc available. also the hotel will bring you to (i can't remember the name of it) the beach between the pitons on their speed boat for a half day or full day free of charge, every day if you like, theres some good snorkeling here (they give you the snorkles free too). the rooms in the hotel are excellent, we got a suite which has a great kitchen with a washer/dryer even. the private outdoor jacuzzi was great. the fridge is all stocked up with water, juices, coke, ginger ale and a couple of beers every day, this is free too!! free bottle of champagne on arrival. we checked in late and as i had emailed to let them know we were checking in late they had set aside 2 plates of food for us, which was greatly appreciated after the long flight. the only problem i have with the hotel is the food, the breakfast is good, not brilliant but you get plenty of it, the hurricane hole food is probably a little better than you would expect from bar food but there isnt a great choice on the menu, we ate there most nights tho, it was good and reasonably priced, great for lunch, and the waiter/barman is, as he would say ,"CooOOOool!" the biggest let down was the Boudreau resturant. for 60+Euros ($90) you expect alot more, the service is great its just the food. not enough flavors but the ones that are there are too stong i thought.
you hear alot of other reviews saying the locals annoy you trying to sell you things etc. i found them to be ok, alot of dudes offering you a water taxi, but whats the harm in that? their offering a service and it works out a bit cheaper than the road taxis if you know how to haggle the price. most of them leave you alone if you just say no.
All things considered, we had a great stay and were sad to leave, but hopefully we'll be able afford to come back again soon.

My advice to anyone looking for the cheapest way to a 5 star honeymoon is to stay in the discovery hotel, use the free trips they put on offer and RENT A CAR for a couple of days! we didnt but we should have, taxis are too expensive there. if your coming from europe (we came from ireland) AA do a 3 connection long way around flight that works out 4 times cheaper than the direct flight. 4 times longer but what you save on the flight you can use to have a good time when you get there. ;)

oh yes and the 7 nights for the price of 5 is great!! there was also a free coctail night on tuesday where the managment meet the guests and you can ask them any questions or whatever, it was a nice touch i thought.

We just got back from a 5 night stay at Discovery at Marigot Bay and it was great! The quality of service is absolutely fabulous! The service is comparable to a 5 star hotel, and was much better than the luxury resort Anse Chastanet (which we stayed 2 nights at after Discovery). The resort itself is very nice, the rooms are chic, clean and have all of the amenities that you need. Marigot Bay is beautiful, although it did rain quite a bit while we were there, but we heard that the weather has been funky the past couple of weeks. Jason and Tracy, the folks working at the concierge desk were very knowledgeable and helpful in booking all of our excursions (we booked the adventure package at the hotel which is highly suggested as it's fun and is a great value!). Jason even booked a complimentary speed boat transfer to Anse Chastanet after our stay at Discovery! The included breakfast is very good-it has good food and a ton of variety. We ate dinner at every restaurant in the vicinity and Broudeau, the restaurant at Discovery, was by far, the best. It was pricey (albiet comparable to the other restaurants in the area), but of NYC quality. It was better than Rainforest Hideaway, which is nearby and is the highly recommended restaurant in the area. All in all, we were incredibly happy with the hotel, service, amenities, and value of Discovery.
