The Resort at Marble Hill

We splurged on a "staycation" on the island for our anniversary. The resort was quaint, quiet and SO accommodating! The resort has a working farm and gardens onsite, where most of the restaurant offerings come from. The room was incredibly spacious, immaculately clean and had amazing ocean views, with a private plunge pool and outdoor shower, which we loved! This is the perfect getaway, even for those of us who live on the island.

The owner Joshua white owns a Hoosier contractors llc and is stealing hundreds of thousands from people in the United States. He steals money from anyone he can while pretending to be an hardworking veteran and funneling it into this resort. Poor representation of what a real veteran is and should stay far away from this guy and his family.

The Resort at Marble Hill not only met my expectations, it exceeded them . The staff all friendly, proficient, warm, and welcoming. They will do anything to meet your needs - just ask them or the conseriage team, it will be met. I went for the diving, and all the reviews really pointed to this resort for me. I'm glad they did. The Resort is located on the quiet eastern section of the island away from cruise ships and large schools of tourists. (if you want to bar hop, go elsewhere) if you want to relax, eat great food, be treated like a person and not a number, dive on reefs pretty much alone, this is your place. It's great to dive on the reefs just off-shore from the hotel, and with no other dive boats around. The dive staff are amazing from the boat capitan to the dive masters, and especially to the all important instructors....Very personal and supportive - even to a challenging student like me. The packages are a good deal when you consider the quality you get. There are some additional touches you won't find elsewhere. It's heavy on the farm to table ideals, with their own gardens, a creamery that produces great cheeses and a brewery pushing out fine cerveza. They are gunna have a distillery soon (so that will lure me back). If you go, I promise you will return. Oh, and go for the bungalow with the pools. Sent from my iPhone

The resort is really up and coming. It has its own farm, brewery, distillery and creamery. Adults only was a nice change. The dive boat was often a little crammed, but never unsafe. The best part was they excelled on my Vegan diet. World class.

The resort is very good, the tree house was awesome, the food is diverse and tasty. The waiting staff was attentive and courteous. The brewery and creamery tours and tastings were educational and excellent. Now about the diving operation. First and foremost, the resort was not prepared to accommodate a group of 20 plus divers. There should be enough nitrox tanks for all divers, for 2 or 3 dives/day. That was not the case. We were in the small boat, which was very crowded with 8 or 9 divers each day. It was impossible for all divers to gear up together. There was also not enough shade or comfortable seating on that boat, and no space to leave glasses, dry clothes, etc. The dive guide and skipper, Joseph and Aisley, were very good and helpfull, although the management would do well in giving them some training: There should be dry towels and water + cups in the boat at all times, which was not the case. I would strongly recommend The Resort at Marble Hill as a tourism destination, for ziplining in the area, visiting the zoo, etc, but not as a dive resort.

The Resort At Marble Hill hosted the return of diving for my husband and myself. We had not been in the water for a few years and were a little anxious about it. Diving was the primary reason for choosing this location. And it did not disappoint. The diving staff was great. Edward was our primary divemaster and he was knowledgeable about the dive sites and did a good job with managing the equipment-both the change out and the storage. The dive sites were easy to get to with short boat rides and a return to the dock for the surface interval. The corals had showed a little bleaching - don't know if climate change or overuse is the culprit there. The boat was small, but comfortable for small groups, but we didn't get any safety briefing about the boat. Were there life vests? Fire extinguisher or radio to shore? We needed to bring our own water if we wanted it on the boat, but is was available on the dock before, during and after the dives. The rooms are pretty nice. We had a sea view casita, with a nice closet (no closets in the rooms w/plunge pools, nice bathroom, but the lanai had only one hammock and a table with stools, so couldn't really lounge around on the deck. You might not want to anyway because of the bugs. They are fierce and plentiful and will cover you in bites quickly. Strong bug repellent is a must and the hotel didn't have it readily available. The dining room is small and I imagine if the hotel is booked, guests will have to eat on the patio (remember the bugs!), which wouldn't be ideal. I am a T1 diabetic and have a very limited diet. It took some back and forth, but the chef did his best to accommodate my special needs, even asking me for a shopping list of things I might want. Finally, the real problem with this resort is the terrain. The resort is built on a hill and the hill is steep. The pathways are inconsistent. Some wooden walkway areas, but a lot of paths covered in rock. The rocks are not stable, especially after a hard rain (which we had) as many of them wash downhill. When there are steps, they too are inconsistent. The risers and steps are not uniform and there are too few handrails. It would be impossible for guests with mobility issues to get around. The second problem with this resort is the lack of beach and resort pool. On the website, it lists "Pool with view", which we misinterpreted to mean that there was a resort pool. Technically, there are pools with views, but they are private bungalows with a plunge pool. It appears that the resort is on a path to improvement. They are expanding their dairy and garden, in order to become more ecological. They are building a beach, but as yet it is unusable. You can hike through the underbrush or kayak over to the beach, but it is not very accessible. They are expanding their brewery to include a distillery. It's work in progress, and I think it will get there, but it's just not quite there yet.
