We stayed at the Marriott last week and here is the latest news: Spectacular outdoor pool and jacuzzi's are open (there are three on the property). Beach w/cabana's and chairs are at your disposal. Bar at pool and lunch spot at pool area are all fully operational. The Casino is open (this is where the only ATM machine is on site so far). Marriott Lobby bar is open and one restaurant that serves coffee/take out items as well as full service restaurant and buffet dinners. There is also an italian restaurant on site that we didn't try but had mixed reviews. As we left we were told that the lobby store would open this Friday - selling snacks, toiletries, etc. and that the exercise portion of the spa/health club would also be open by the end of this week. The Golf Course is closed and expected to be open in June or September. You will have to call to make sure. The brochure shows a Disco, Steakhouse, and another full service restaurant (Blu) by the beach but they are not operational yet. There are plenty of things to do a short walk or taxi drive away so don't worry about it.
