Our trip started off a little hectic at check in mainly due to miss information given to us from the staff on site. I will say I picked up the phone called vacation candy and the girls went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of the situation to ensure our family was totally accommodated to meet our booking expectations. Thank you again we look forward to working together in the future with any future reservation and would highly recommend vacation candy anyone. Best regards

Dear Vacation Candy, Thank you for making it easy for us to book & stay @ a great facility right on the beach of Marco Island -- it worked out perfectly! Thank you, Susan

We stayed 7 nights in the Gulf View villa and couldn't be happier. The room was spacious, clean and modern with a fantastic view (even though it was on the side of the building, the view was still awesome). The description was 100% accurate. The balconies were enormous and allowed for dinners and relaxing for the entire family. The property itself was beautiful, especially with the new building area that just opened. It was a good mix of all ages and the place welcomed families with open arms.

WE thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Marco Island. Our room was plenty big enough for our family of 6 (5 adults and 1 teenager). Loved that the room had all of the extras like dishwasher (with soap) washer and dryer, table for 8 as well as very nice cookware and dishes and glasses. Pool water was warm (especially for us new Englanders) but I don't know if that can be adjusted except that the pools at the deepest were only 4 ft if that...despite that, there were many games/activities to play outside of the pool. We never had trouble finding chairs at the pool.

We had no idea what to expect upon arrival for our vacation. We had never booked a villa/timeshare at a hotel resort prior. I would have to say our experience was awesome. The room was nicely furnished, large, well appointed, and clean. The amenities at the hotel were everything we needed for our family with teens to young adult; 3 pools/hot tubs, water slide, right on the ocean, nice workout facility, pool & ping-pong tables, restaurants, planned activities for all ages, a nice luxury feel to the place. Our so-called Islandview still had a nice view of the ocean off to the left. We were within walking distance to great restaurants and activities. The hotel staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. Bottom line, loved having the convenience of a condo (kitchen, multiple bedrooms) with the amenities of a resort hotel. Would definitely do this again in the future!

We had an amazing time here. The condo was beautiful and spacious. It had all the comforts of home. It had paper towel and paper supplies which was super nice. We would definitely come back!!!

One of my all time favorite resorts. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and quick to help in any way needed. The resort is quaint and clean while offering everything you would want.

The Marriott Crystal Shores was a wonderful resort. The water slide kept kids entertained along with the games in the courtyard. Room was very spacious and clean and modern. Would love to return.

Our family of five enjoyed this resort over Spring Break 2015. What a wonderful property. Favorites: Pool, clean room, enormous balcony (best part with amazing sunsets), game area on ground level. We were there during construction and it was not distracting, although parking was tough. The beach is long and inviting, but it is not soft sand due to the shells. Our kids loved the shells! We've been to many Marriott properties and this was wonderful - will go back. Drawback are drinks and food at the pool restaurant were very expensive - we just made our own instead!
