Billfish Bar At the Marriott Hotel

I was so disappointed with this poolside restaurant/bar.  I like the Marriott and this was my 2nd time staying here...but the Billfish Bar was horrible.  My husband called the front desk asking for a good family friendly place to eat that wasn't too far from the hotel (nephew & family was with us).  The server took a long time to bring menus and she didn't bring enough.  She took our drink orders and ew.   The water tasted nasty, the Sprite was just carbonated water, no syrup to make it soda, and my drink was supposed to have some alcohol in it but it might as well been a virgin.  The appetizers came AFTER our entrees.  The sashimi was warm, the chicken wings were dried out and tasteless.  The edamame humus was the only good thing.  The kids' menu burgers were exactly the same as the adult menu burgers and cheaper.  It may seem convenient to eat here, but don't.  Take the time and get in your car to go some place else.  You'll spend the same amount of money but will get MUCH better service and food.

If you want good food, go somewhere else.

Our first night there, my family & I decided to stay on property for convenience sake. With my new wife & my nephew & his family, we were tired from swimming all day. Bad move...

Called Restaurant Services & was told that this place had a great kids menu. So we go down, where it takes the waitress 10 minutes to bring us water (mind you, the place wasn't busy at all & there was 3 servers).

Ordered pupu's (appetizers), meals & drinks, and the meals came BEFORE the appetizers. Ordered their Thai chicken wings & it looked like something out of Tales From The Crypt- they were so dry & no flavor whatsoever (told them take it back).

Wife ordered a Lava Flow & it came out so weak, as if no alcohol was added. Double checked that it wasn't a virgin drink, and sadly disappointed to learn it wasn't. My nephews kids could've drank it & not felt a thing.

Meals were all cold, & the kids burgers were the same size as the adults.

Love this hotel, the bar is a nice place to hang out, but don't EVER eat there. And if you want good service, sit ON the bar- not near, not next, ON the bar..........

This is a pretty standard bar next to the pool at the marriot.  Drinks are good, service is decent.  Nothing bad, nothing great.  My girl did seem to be enjoying her Mango Daquiri though.  

The only reason we came to this bar is because we parked at the Marriott so that we can check out the little cove that was supposed to be good for snorkeling (sigh).  Anyway, if you parked here, the bar gives you validation for 3 hours.
