This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Ambience was amazing. Each of the 5 courses was great - chef personally visited our table during the dinner. Blows my mind some negative folks gave this a bad review. 10/10.

Those was not our first time having dinner on the beach at the Marriott but it was without a doubt the BEST! We were celebrating our 11th Anniversary getting married on this same beach. The set menu was incredible with course after course of great food. Service was unbelievable- Rosy the server was amazing. Special touches by the managers and chef walking out to the beach to introduce themselves was top notch. Romantic five star dinner experience!

This is a must for anyone wanting to celebrate an occasion. The entire staff, in my opinion, went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special to me. The night of my original reservation it rained. They kindly rescheduled for the next night. Not only did they do that they made other reservations at the indoor restaurant for me. Everyone was so apologetic for something that was clearly out of their control. And to top it off Barefoot Dining sent covered strawberries to our room. As I said, above and beyond. I will be back for sure.

View was mediocre at best !! , with kids and tables and chairs and outhouse buildings directly in view . the seat arrangement is terrible , they put you directly next to the walkway everyone uses. The food was extremely low quality for the 500 dollar price tag the Champaign and wine were the cheapest bottle they can get while being ok. The 1st course was great second was good. 3rd course salad was horrific. Would not give to any animal let alone my girlfriend, and the 4th course was steak and potatoes. With they made sure to make sure they know what steak went to who . They still gave us the wrong plate at the table. All around horrible experience, and for 500 dollars , expectations of service are amens . And it was just not there. . No telling of what the meals were what inspired them just here is your good enjoy . God what a terrible experience .

Food and service was good. Wasn’t very private however. View of the beach chairs and kids running around all over wasn’t romantic at all. Restaurant and the other tables were about 10ft away. Could of just ate there and saved 400 dollars.

Terrific table and a very romantic dinner with my wife on her birthday. The manager who seated us was outstanding. Wait was good but I guess it's a long walk between the beach and the kitchen-some items came out cool. And it's pricey. But the overall experience was tremendous-the table and beach make the experience. We will do it again.

The pre fixed menu left little room for ordering what we’d like. I didn’t feel like this was clear on the listing. Additionally the steak was poorly cooked and the seafood was just okay. The service took long periods between courses. Lastly the wine options were the cheap house wine. The $500 cost was for the opportunity to simply eat on the beach.

I have wanted to do this for over a year. Finally, I was able to have this experience for my birthday. The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. The chef even came out to visit with us as did the manager. They have recently changed this menu based upon feedback. Everything was perfection. We are excited to share with our friends and will definitely return. Thanks for a memorable birthday not to be forgotten. Well done!

As others have mentioned near the soccer area. Main course was good but the others were just okay. We have done in the beach dining in other parts of Florida. Definitely overpriced.

Private area put in playground section of the beach soccer goals volleyball net are within 30 feet. If nobody’s on them it is perfect if anybody’s playing in that area not too good. I would recommend doing more of an evening to sunset dinner this way the traffic is not as much. And you get a more exclusive experience

We had the barefoot dining experience on the beach for our anniversary, which was great. It’s a four-course meal, three of which you can choose from two options. The entree is a surf & turf with beef filet and lobster tail. you also receive a champagne toast and a bottle of wine with your meal. I spoke with the manager the day before about a few preferences and she was happy to accommodate. Our server, I believe her name is Tanya, was super nice. A storm came in mid-meal so we had to rush inside. We didn’t mind the uncontrollable inconvenience but they made sure to take care of us despite that. Would definitely recommend.

I booked this for my husband and I for the last night of our trip. I was under the impression that there would be others dinning on the beach as well - not the case, it was just us. The ambiance is shocking bad. You are directly in front of the tiki bar surrounded by the volleyball nets and soccer nets. For the first 15 min we had a few kids throwing a nerf football overhead. The waitress asked if we wanted a photo.. i asked if we could have one by the water instead of the volleyball and soccer net background. She acted put out and asked another waitress to take the photo. Food was average. Thankfully I had great company! Certainly not worth $500. There were also a lot of beetles - one landed in our food/ another my hair and my husbands drink. I’d recommend the 3030resturaunt if you’d like to eat on the resort.

I was super excited to have barefoot dining with my family. I knew it would be a bit expensive and was willing to pay, but the experience overall was a bit disappointing and did not justify the cost. We arrived on time and I had been advised to be seated at 6 since I had kids, it was super awkward because we were seated at a table while a bunch of kids were playing soccer right in front of us, location could have been much better given the price. I had a 4yr old that was not interested in eating, still charged $55 for her to eat 3 pieces of pizza. Our meal lasted 3hr, not because of us, because of slow service, and I was severely disappointed to see 30% gratuity applied regardless.
