Has anyone stayed at the Frenchman Resort in STT. I am looking for a place to stay and I ahd heard this was a nice place. Any rants/raves about this place? What attractions/beaches/snorkeling/etc. do they offer or are close. What about the Morning Star?
Hello Ryan,
Morningstar and Frenchman's are both Marriott properties and they are both in the same spot - they share Morningstar Beach, which is the closest beach. Others would be a 10-30+ minute drive away. Attractions closest would be those in Havensight and downtown; they have a ferry you can take from the resort to town. I'd recommend renting a car if you plan on doing lots of beach hopping, sightseeing.

The Marriott properties are right next to each other on the same beach. They also share the same amenities, restaurants, etc.
Which you would prefer is going to depend on your preference as to the type of building you like. Frenchman's is a high-rise fully a/c'd hotel like you would find in any major US city. In order to get to and from the beach you need to walk through a/c'd halls, take an elevator, go through the a/c's lobby and then walk a ways down to the beach.
Morningstar is right on the beach and is made up of several low rise buildings that have several units in each building. IMHO Morningstar gives you more of an "island" feel than Frenchman's.
Many people like the nice views that Frenchman's offers while others prefer the "on-the-beach" feel of Morningstar.
