Leeward Antilles, hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel was beautiful and clean. The lobby and restaurants were great and the staff were very friendly. DO NOT stay in a garden view room. The view is awful. You’re either looking at the parking lot or dried grass and a fence that overlooks a public parking lot. Those rooms felt more like a Courtyard than a Marriott Beach Resort. When asked to upgrade we were told no rooms were available even though we could see unoccupied rooms. Very disappointed in the room and view. We would stay here again but make sure it had oceanfront view. "

"The resorts is 10/10 , but the WiFi for both the regular and the elite is 0/10"

"The resort has aged many years since the photos. Built in 1979 theyve patched things up but it doesnt cover the dingey feel. Buffett & restaurants are simply over hyped. Dont be fooled, stay in highrise section and do your own thing."
