User reviews
"Ah, the beach near the pool of the JW Marriott, how lovely. The sand is soft and the water is dotted with volcanic rock formations, which may or may not be your cup of tea. But fear not, there is a designated area for swimming that is crystal clear and easy to spot. It's a beautiful spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean breeze."
