Select at Casa Marina - Adults Only

The room was amazing and everything, 10/10 i absolutely would come back again and again and again. The service and the attention were 10/10. The food was okay, but i’m not picky so it was fine. My only suggestion would be more variety with the entertainment.

We are a couple in there 60,s and stayed at the select just before xmas day. We were given a 2 bed room like we requested but on the 4th fl with no elevators. It did have a ocean view but the work out wasn't worth it and got moved to 1st fl halfway through the week. Besides that we really didn't have many complaints being our cheapest winter trip we paid in along time. Really enjoyed how you could just walk out and be in the middle of the town. Walk to the grocery store, watch them play baseball, or try the ambience of Jolly Rogers bar and restaurant. The food was good nothing that really stood out but a few little surprises and service was good and friendly. You did have to book reservations but once you learn the system you could do it the night before and get in any one you wanted but the one inclusive to select was easier and just as good. They had a casa side that is bigger but I would say a 3 star select side close to 4 but your paying less then $1000 a person a lot of people choose it. We like staying at the adults only side because we had pool service and better quality drinks. Would go back if the price was right. It did rain a few times mostly at night but a few times while having dinner but we brought umbrellas so we could get to and from but watch a lot of people get soaked. We left around noon and that night the resort got flooded and heard there was a lot of drycleaning going on.

This review will probably be the same as several others, but this is our experience. For the most part we had a wonderful vacation, but there is definitely room for improvement. We stayed in building 6 on the Select side, and our room was one of the best in the resort. It was restocked and cleaned daily, and we were fortunate to have had hot water for most of the week. The beach is small but nice. However, the sand is brown, so it gets really, really hot. The water is quite rough, with a strong undertow. The beach was actually closed for 2 days due to the strong waves, which became a nightmare for anyone trying to find a lounger around the pools. There are not enough loungers or umbrellas around any of the pools, and people got up in the middle of the night to hog several of them, but then not use them. We unfortunately were subjected to a large group of loud, obnoxious people who rarely used their loungers, but sat at the bar the whole day, so taking up those seats as well. I think several guests complained about these people, as security did speak with them, thankfully. The food was fine. We did enjoy all the a la carte restaurants, and the buffet was always okay. There is a coffee shop as well, but it doesn't open until 10 a.m., which is kind of ridiculous. We had a small coffee maker in our room, but there is no where to get a coffee before the buffet opens at 7:30. There is also a snack buffet from 3-5 in the afternoon that has pizza, hot dogs and hamburgers. The resort is right downtown, so there are lots of places to go for walks. We always felt safe. As others have said, there is no list of any entertainment. We just asked at the desk, and were told what was on for that evening. One thing that has nothing to do with the resort, but important, is booking the VIP lounge at the airport. We paid $70 USD and it was so worth it. The line up for security was over 2 hours long, but we were guided right through and delivered to the lounge and had drinks in hand in under 10 minutes. It can be booked through your rep, or directly online, although I think that might be more expensive. Would we return here? No, probably not. We did have a nice relaxing vacation, but the beach and the musical chairs means we will try somewhere else next time.
