Rooms
Immaculate rooms show sophistication and glorious views of the Intracoastal Waterway or private beach and Atlantic via furnished balconies. Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa guests sleep atop pristine white cotton of the luxurious pillow-clad Revive bedding exclusive to the chain. The oceanfront setting influences other design choices, from the tropical palette of gold, mango sand and turquoise to the granite counter tops on the TV cabinet. Wi-Fi service is available for an additional fee.
Spa
Guests in the mood for pampering escape to the spa, which spoils men and women with ocean views and signature services such as Harbor Beach signature seashell therapy (which uses real seashells to release muscle tension) and citrus body glow.
Dining
The three restaurants at Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa indulge diners with oceanfront vistas. Whether the taste is for fresh-baked bread and succulent entrees at 3030 Ocean or handcrafted cocktails and Cuban sandwiches at Sea Level, the hotel serves tasty dishes with a side of ambiance.
Recreation
The Oceanfront Terrace at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa sets the scene for lounging and socializing with cozy alcoves, private cabanas and fire pits set amid lush landscaping. Closer to the beach, a sparkling, lagoon-style pool beckons during lazy days and a new Hawaiian Surf Simulator excites the kids. One to four children can ride the waves at once.
The Surf Club--open to kids ages 5 to 12 for a fee--also teases with a theater tricked out with a 65-inch plasma TV, stadium seats and oversized beanbag chairs. For more adventures, tykes can borrow underwater cameras, make crafts or hit the Mac computers and xBox 360s in the media room.
Adult play takes form in the up-to-date fitness center, multiple tennis courts and water sports that can be arranged by Aloha, a business specializing in parasailing, ocean kayaking, speed boating and wave running.
