Deneen, thank you for painting such a thoughtful picture of your stay at the Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort. It’s encouraging to hear how much you enjoyed the spacious rooms and the quality of the dining, yet we’re equally attentive to your note about the restaurant seating. Cleanliness in every detail—tables, chairs, and beyond—is something most guests praise, so your feedback stands out and will be addressed with the team. It’s wonderful to know that despite this, your overall experience was still enjoyable and that you’d return; that means a great deal to us. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Dear Tedisha, What a wonderful surprise to read your thoughtful review this morning! Your kind words about our boardwalk location and the dining connections to our sister properties absolutely made my day—we've worked so hard to create that seamless experience where our guests can truly explore all the culinary treasures our oceanfront community has to offer. I'm so pleased you discovered our daily events calendar during your stay. It's one of those special touches we've developed over the years, and honestly, seeing guests like yourself light up when they realize there's always something happening here in Virginia Beach is exactly why we do it. Not many hotels offer this kind of local programming, and your excitement about experiencing it for the first time in the US tells me we're on the right track. Now, I do want to acknowledge your concerns about our breakfast service and poolside dining. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share these observations. The poolside situation with the flies is particularly troubling to hear—that's simply not the standard we hold ourselves to. While our oceanfront location gives us that incredible beach access you enjoyed, I understand that our pool size doesn't quite match the scale of our resort, and combined with limited food options, it creates a less than ideal experience. Thank you again for choosing Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort and for sharing your honest perspective with us. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Dear Sylvia, thank you so much for being the Marriott loyalist- that comments means a lot to us! The beauty you found in the resort, Sylvia, is exactly the first impression we wish every guest to have, yet it’s clear that certain moments fell short of that ideal. An upgrade is meant to feel like a gift, and we regret that your suite’s view did not match the oceanfront promise you had hoped for. Likewise, a meal should linger in memory for the right reasons, and it’s disappointing that Tulu’s offering and service did not meet expectations on this occasion. We sincerely hope you will allow us the opportunity to restore your faith in our hospitality, and that the rhythm of the waves and the gentle Virginia Beach breeze left you with memories worth carrying home. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Dear Maria, Thank you so much for sharing your candid thoughts about your recent stay with us at the Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront. I was truly touched that you took the time to highlight what worked well—our oceanfront location and lobby really are sources of pride for our entire team—while also being so forthright about the areas where we clearly fell short of your expectations. Your experience with our breakfast service troubles me deeply. When you've already paid for breakfast as part of your stay, the last thing you should encounter is an hour-long wait that cuts into your precious vacation time. That you were turned away at 10:15 when breakfast service runs until 11 is simply unacceptable, and I want you to know that we're having serious conversations with our restaurant management about both staffing levels and our seating policies. No guest should feel rushed or excluded from amenities they've already purchased. I completely understand your frustration with the additional fees—the beach chair rentals, parking, and resort fees can feel overwhelming when they're stacked on top of your room rate. While we do make every effort to present all pricing information upfront during the booking process, I hear your concern clearly and we will absolutely review our communication methods to see what improvements we can implement to make the complete cost picture even more transparent for our guests. Your observation about our pool capacity is spot-on and honestly quite helpful. When guests can't enjoy the pool because it's consistently overcrowded, that tells us we have a fundamental planning issue that needs addressing. We're actively reviewing our booking practices and exploring ways to better manage pool access during peak periods. Thank you for your honesty, Maria. While I know this stay didn't meet your expectations, your feedback is genuinely valuable as we work to improve the experience for all our guests. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Dear Paola, it’s wonderful to hear how much you appreciated our welcoming staff, dining options, and beach access — and especially that you enjoyed Sip and Paint! That said, your comments about the elevator delays and the missed housekeeping service are taken seriously. Waiting with a stroller and not getting assistance during your short stay isn’t the impression we ever want to leave, particularly for traveling families. We’ll be reviewing these lapses to see how we can better support guests in the moment. As for the in-room touches — we agree those little extras matter, and we’ll be reevaluating what's offered so the overall experience feels more in line with our elevated coastal setting. While we’re proud to welcome many loyal Marriott Bonvoy members who enjoy their time with us, we regret your stay didn’t quite meet the mark. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Dear guest, it’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed being so close to the ocean, unwinding at our tiki bar, and dining at Orion’s Roof—our team takes pride in offering those standout experiences, and it’s heartening to know they made a lasting impression. The kindness of our staff is something we value deeply, and we're glad it came through during your stay. That said, the situation you encountered at the larger pool is truly disappointing to read. While different access policies do exist between properties, how guests are made to feel in those moments matters most—and no one should ever feel unwelcome or singled out. That experience doesn't reflect the spirit of inclusivity we hold dear. Similarly, your breakfast story is one we wish had gone differently. High-end reputation means little if warmth and care are absent in delivery. You're right: how people are treated matters more than prestige. We’re hopeful the beauty of our beachside location, the thoughtful touches throughout the resort, and our genuine hospitality helped outweigh the frustrations you experienced. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Hello Halima, what a lovely mix of calm and connection — we're so happy the resort offered your family a relaxing and clean retreat. It's wonderful to know Orion's left a great impression, and your thoughtful suggestion about Tulu's menu is genuinely appreciated. For longer stays, variety does make all the difference, and adding more seafood and fish options is an idea we’ll be sure to pass along. Your input helps shape a more fulfilling experience for future guests, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

That ocean view really is something special, Lakisha — so glad it brought a smile to your stay! There's nothing quite like waking up to the waves right outside your window at Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort. Hope it gave you a moment to truly unwind. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team
