During our five-day stay at Marbucks Bed and Breakfast, my fiancé and I had a decent experience but were disappointed with several aspects. The location of Marbucks is its strongest suit, as it is in the heart of everything, making it an ideal spot for those looking to explore the surrounding area (we found renting a golf cart essential). The warmth and friendliness of the staff also marked a high point. The major drawback of our stay was that we did not find Marbucks to be where we could hang out and spend time, which we intended to do there. It might cater well to those who prioritize a place merely to rest their heads but not to those who want a place to hang out during the day. Contrary to the appealing images on their booking website, the pool area, which could have been an idyllic spot for relaxation, was largely inaccessible due to breakfast service sprawling from 7 AM to 1 PM, severely limiting our use of the outdoor area (the two lounge beds are put away and people are eating right in front of your room and around the pool area). We ended up going out every day to places like Moon Bar or buying a day pass at a resort to find what we were missing at Marbucks. Another letdown was the lack of a beach spot to relax, which was a bummer. Food-wise, we only really liked the french toast and veggie omelet. There are also discrepancies between advertised and actual services, such as the unfulfilled promise of daily housekeeping and room service, further contributing to our dissatisfaction (our room was not cleaned once during our five day stay). The cessation of food and drink services by early afternoon each day was a considerable inconvenience, as we would have liked to have been able to have drinks throughout the day. In the evening, there was a pervasive presence of a security guard, whose well-meaning vigilance, unfortunately, made us feel overly watched/listened to, which hindered our ability to enjoy the pool and sit on our balcony freely during night hours. We did not find the bed comfortable due to the stiff mattress and pillows. Lastly, the AC was leaking and the refrigerator did not get cold even when turned to the coldest setting.

This little airbnb is a great find! Rob is very helpful. The best part is the food and freshly made breakfast. There is nice little eat out spot called truck stop steps away from this place. Stay here for the food!!
