Questions about Marriott's Grande Ocean

What time is check-in and check-out at Marriott's Grande Ocean?

Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Marriott's Grande Ocean allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Does Marriott's Grande Ocean have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Marriott's Grande Ocean have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Marriott's Grande Ocean have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Marriott's Grande Ocean?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Marriott's Grande Ocean?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
