On the beach below the highrise complex where an informal
resort once stood, you'll find 96 special accommodations.
Marriott Morning Star Beach Resort offers oversized luxuri-
ous rooms in a series of three-level buildings surrounded by
flowering hibiscus, oleander, flamboyant and frangipani.
Cleverly designed for maximum privacy, each room has a
terrace with an ocean view and a large comfortable sitting
area. Complimentary champagne, an in-room safe, cable TV,
in-house videos, hairdryer, iron and ironing board and com-
fortable bathrobes are all offered.
Guests at Morning Star have full use of the facilities at
Frenchman's Reef, but the best facility was made by Mother
Nature - the beautiful Morning Star Beach. Lounges, floats
and umbrellas are available at the Beach Shack. There is a
new pool with a wrap-around sundeck adjacent to the tennis
courts. A Jacuzzi is here as well.
Mariott Morning Star is laid back and very secluded. There
is free morning coffee, but most guests head to Coco Joe's
on the beach. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nearby,
Star Market is great for take-out. Morning Star houses a
gourmet restaurant, Havana Blue . Open only for dinner, it
serves Cuban-Caribbean fusion cuisine.
