During our recent stay at the AC Marriott, we opted to include breakfast — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our travels. To our delight, it was easily the most impressive hotel breakfast we’ve experienced anywhere in the world. The spread is exceptionally curated: made-to-order eggs delivered directly to your table, an expansive selection of grains and yogurts, fresh fruit, flaky pastries, an array of cheeses and charcuterie, crisp vegetables for a light salad, a refreshing detox smoothie, fresh-pressed juices, and barista-made café drinks of your choice. It was an elevated, generous, and beautifully presented start to each day. The hotel itself is immaculately maintained — from the sophisticated lobby and bar to the lush landscaping and overall design, everything feels modern, intentional, and high-end. Though the beach isn’t just outside the door, the complimentary shuttle makes the journey easy and pleasant. Our driver — a warm, engaging law student — added a personal touch that made the ride even more enjoyable. Special recognition is due to the breakfast manager, whose professionalism and attention to detail set the tone for a seamless experience each morning. That said, two caveats for future travelers: if you’re looking for a true swimming pool, you won’t find it here — the “tanning pool” is more for lounging than laps. And, at the time of our stay, there was active construction adjacent to the property. If noise is a concern, you may wish to inquire before booking. Still, this hotel reflects everything the AC Marriott brand should be: beautifully run, well-designed, and full of thoughtful touches. Highly recommended.
