The Resort at Marble Hill

Unfortunately, do not stay here. It has taken us a month to not be livid about the experience here, but we must warn others. DO NOT STAY HERE. The remaining staff that are there are terrific, remaining staff are the key words here. Something is fishy about this place and we left after one night. Do not spend your money here. The brewery was CLOSED, the creamery was CLOSED, there is NO farm - when we asked they said the animals had to be 'moved', the dock was in DISREPAIR, the dive shop was minimally staffed and they did not seem to want to be there and really weren't there for long, it too bad because I think the place used to be functional - the rooms were nice but smelled unused. I'm not sure where other reviews saw a garden - there was NO garden. There were only dead planting beds where vegetables had once been. It felt like a bad Scooby Doo adventure. We were so excited about this stay, and came away utterly disappointed. They also lie. A woman by the name of Andrea maybe had been helping us via email as we had made the rez a bit in in advance for our 20th anniversary after doing a ton of research, but there was no Andrea, she had 'left'. The staff whispered - 'we miss her', it was sketchy. We even continued to get emails from the mythical Andrea after we left. Do not stay here. The American friend of the owner was out of his mind, wired and bug eyed, and the whole place felt really not ok. He was supposedly managing the place and said directly to us 'oh, I didn't know anyone was coming today'. One other group checked in later in the day. There were no other guests at the resort. It was really off. You don't go somewhere and find everything closed and minimal staff that look scared and confused. The restaurant closed at 7pm and none of the other parts of the resort were operational. It was really sketchy. Something was up. We lost money, no refund of our deposit which we had put with 'Andrea' for half of our 5 day stay, not even a discussion about it, but it wasn't worth the fight. We travel a lot and are chalking this up to a weird adventure. Wanted to save others from the trouble. It should have been a red flag when other folks on the island in hospitality did not know of this place, its a small island. Stay elsewhere. I just really feel for the remaining staff. Don't believe the website, be warned - The Resort at Marble Hill is either going out of business or fronting for something else. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We splurged on a "staycation" on the island for our anniversary. The resort was quaint, quiet and SO accommodating! The resort has a working farm and gardens onsite, where most of the restaurant offerings come from. The room was incredibly spacious, immaculately clean and had amazing ocean views, with a private plunge pool and outdoor shower, which we loved! This is the perfect getaway, even for those of us who live on the island.

Marble Hill Resort is a tale of two resorts. Resort A has some of the best people working there. We stayed in a Bungalow room and it was clean, nicely appointed and the view was lovely. Food was excellent throughout. Grounds were clean and well attended to. Diving was excellent. Divemaster Edward was awesome. Samantha, the only concierge we ever saw, went way beyond anything we could expect. As I said, the people were fantastic. We met several couples that we became fast friends. Resort B was weird. First, in January, usually high season, there were only 12 guests in a resort that could support well over a hundred. Weird. Very little on the property was open. 1 restaurant, not 4 as advertised. Creamery closed. Brewery closed. Distillery closed. Bathroom in Main House flooded from the first day we got there and was never attended to. No live music, nature walk was through an overgrown path. Room pool leaked and needed to be refilled nearly daily. Also unheated. No night dive offered. Dive shop closed after morning second dive. Email correspondence was always signed by "Andrea van der Waag", however this person doesn't exist in our experience. Samantha was the head concierge and did a fine job. Did we get our monies worth? Maybe. Will we come back? Depends on whether the owner gets their sh*t together. Depends on which resort survives.

The Resort at Marble Hill not only met my expectations, it exceeded them . The staff all friendly, proficient, warm, and welcoming. They will do anything to meet your needs - just ask them or the conseriage team, it will be met. I went for the diving, and all the reviews really pointed to this resort for me. I'm glad they did. The Resort is located on the quiet eastern section of the island away from cruise ships and large schools of tourists. (if you want to bar hop, go elsewhere) if you want to relax, eat great food, be treated like a person and not a number, dive on reefs pretty much alone, this is your place. It's great to dive on the reefs just off-shore from the hotel, and with no other dive boats around. The dive staff are amazing from the boat capitan to the dive masters, and especially to the all important instructors....Very personal and supportive - even to a challenging student like me. The packages are a good deal when you consider the quality you get. There are some additional touches you won't find elsewhere. It's heavy on the farm to table ideals, with their own gardens, a creamery that produces great cheeses and a brewery pushing out fine cerveza. They are gunna have a distillery soon (so that will lure me back). If you go, I promise you will return. Oh, and go for the bungalow with the pools. Sent from my iPhone

This 30+ acre resort is an absolute gem! The 16 bungalows, 4 treehouses, and 4 sea view rooms have stunning views, wonderful appointments, and are part of a great property that includes it's own brewery, distillery, creamery, and vegetable gardens. Food Service is excellent and there is a snack bar and grill down next to the dive shop over the water for relaxing cocktails and/or a meal. The dive operation is very good with the compressor, nitrox, and rental gear all immediately next to where the boat launches. The entire place is top drawer and very relaxing, max accommodations are for approximately 54-58 people. I feel it rivals Jade Mountain in St Lucia as one of the top dive resorts in the caribbean, if not the world!

The resort is very good, the tree house was awesome, the food is diverse and tasty. The waiting staff was attentive and courteous. The brewery and creamery tours and tastings were educational and excellent. Now about the diving operation. First and foremost, the resort was not prepared to accommodate a group of 20 plus divers. There should be enough nitrox tanks for all divers, for 2 or 3 dives/day. That was not the case. We were in the small boat, which was very crowded with 8 or 9 divers each day. It was impossible for all divers to gear up together. There was also not enough shade or comfortable seating on that boat, and no space to leave glasses, dry clothes, etc. The dive guide and skipper, Joseph and Aisley, were very good and helpfull, although the management would do well in giving them some training: There should be dry towels and water + cups in the boat at all times, which was not the case. I would strongly recommend The Resort at Marble Hill as a tourism destination, for ziplining in the area, visiting the zoo, etc, but not as a dive resort.
