Christopher Benford Review of Sawgrass Marriott at Pone Vedr...
Not perfect, but what is?
Not perfect, but what is?
The property is very nice, and we found all the staff very helpful during our stay. The AC was not working in our original room and we were swapped without trouble. Also our room was originally a double, but was upgraded at no cost by the clerk at check in, without requesting it.
The resort fee is $22 a day. They did have a nice shuttle service which we only used once to get to and from the beach club. You also get Internet service for that fee, and it did include a free appetizer in the lobby bar area, still it seemed steep. However we got the room significantly lower than the usual advertised price even if the resort fee is included, so overall it was well worth it.
As usual all on resort prices are jacked up. As if Starbucks wasn't costly enough already. The food and drinks at the Cabana Beach Club were not nearly as good as the price was high. The drinks were weak for $9.00 a pop. The club area and beach access are very nice though. You can't bring anything in, so if you want to make a day out of it you either have to pay the Piper or leave and return. They do at least provide water for you, but nothing fancy in that regard. Other places we've been have had nice fruit infused water poolside, not here.
Overall we very much enjoyed the time spent here, and would definitely come back.
