Marriott resort reopens in US Virgin Islands
POSTED 08 Dec 2011 . BY Pete Hayman
Marriott Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has unveiled its iconic Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort in the US Virgin Islands, following a US$48m (£31m, EUR36m) revamp.

Among the new amenities added to the property is the 4,000sq ft (372sq m) Lazule Sea Spa, which features seven treatment rooms; a couples' room; three poolside treatment cabanas; and a spa pool.

A relaxation room also forms part of the spa, while a spa pool deck is located away from the enlarged main swimming pool area and features hot and cold mini-plunge pools.

Elsewhere, the Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort also comprises a newly-expanded gym and a full-service salon with hair and manicure/pedicure stations.

All 302 bedrooms have been completely overhauled as part of the project, while there is also a new adults-only infinity pool with swim-up bar.

General manager Jose Gonzalez said: "We are ecstatic about the results of the renovation and I know our guests will be as well.

"The Reef has always been a popular St. Thomas resort and with this investment I believe we have set a whole new standard of what guests can expect."
