Liked: Cleanliness
Hotel was overall okay. Rooms were clean, which is most important. The grounds, landscaping, and main common spaces are tired and need an uplift. Food at the Japanese place was amazing, but the restaurant needed an overhaul.
Love this hotel, great golf course, great bar, great pool in the service was terrific… sushi bar in the lobby, and it’s awesome!

Clean rooms, friendly staff, beautiful and well maintained resort.
Would be better if there is a microwave on each floor as we need to reheat our puppy food. Currently there is only one microwave at the lobby level.
Had a wonderful stay at JW Marriott. The rooms were spotless and spacious, the staff attentive, and the amenities exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.
Loved my stay here. Booked 3 nights for my honeymoon and it was amazing. Beautiful resort. We had the special boat ride and it was wonderful. Staff was very helpful also. There’s a lot to do at the resort. Keep in mind that it comes with a daily fee of $45. The breakfast at rockwood grill was also fantastic.
