Marriott Playa Grande Review

This new hotel ups the ante on the coast. Rooms are large, sparkling, and well equipped. Rooms on the higher floors have excellent views, and most of these overlook the Caribbean sea. The small health club and gym are top notch, and the common areas and restaurants are up to snuff. There's a small protected cove of a beach a block or so away, but it's far from spectacular; you're better off sticking to the delightful pool. The hotel is only a few miles from the airport, but be forewarned: It's in a somewhat sketchy area, there's little to do or see nearby, and walking around on your own is discouraged.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; children's center; concierge; well-equipped health club; outdoor pool; room service; smoke-free rooms; Wi-Fi

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
