Re: Marriott Surf Club versus the Ocean Club

The Ocean Club Rooms were last remodeled two or three years ago with new upholstered goods. Last year the new "Marriott" Beds were installed (Duvet, all white...). The built-in goods are definately dated with Oak as opposed to the Cherrywood at the Surf Club. Surf Club also has granite baths vs. marble at Ocean Club. However, I was just there this week and watched the check-in process at the Surf Club...be prepared for a line of 10 to 15 rooms being assigned as opposed two the three or four at the Ocean Club. Again...Surf Club is best for kids, laundry and being new; Ocean Club is best for beach, quiet, and closeness to Marriott restaurants & casino. You choose...both are very nice. Tip...the hotel is undergoing remodeling. The airlines often charge extra to arrive or leave on Fri/Sat/Sun. Consider getting a hotel room for an extra day or two. You may be able to pay for the hotel room with what you save on airfare.
