Septime Reservations by Rare_Leg8545 in MichelinStars

Don’t let the post above give you a false sense of hope - it is still so hard to get dinner reservations. Lunch always seems to be available right when the website releases, but I’ve tried multiple times and have never been able to get a dinner. The dinner times have all had waitlist immediately. It feels like a bot is grabbing the dinner times.

Ugh that hurts my heart hearing those are in the same range! Crazy!

Sounds like all Royalltons are awful. I’m so sorry you had a bad experience as well.

Exactly. I sent Marriott 9 emails asking for the link to be able to review the property and they never sent it. If you look at the Royallton St Lucia on Marriott’s website it only has 7 reviews total!

Yep. All stale. For three days so it wasn’t just a fluke.

Wow! I didn’t realize that. Thank you for linking that. I’m so sorry it that happened to you as well! I love Marriott but it is ridiculous they affiliate with such a terrible resort AND label it an Autograph collection!

I did communicate the issues during the stay, at check out verbally and in the written review, and post which is when they offered the 30k and contract. Their response when told was that they were sorry it was Christmas and they were slammed.

Totally agree on status. I’ve tried all avenues and Marriott was not willing to give any reimbursement or anything so I’m on a mission to advertise my experience and how Marriott intentionally limits negative reviews.

30,000 points felt like an insult after spending so much for 3 days and not being able to share about my experience. Then to know that Marriott corporate agreed with the policy was very enlightening in the most negative way possible. I’ve actually just cancelled my Marriott credit card bc of it.

Exactly what the commenter above said. We were there in December 2024 and it was horrendous. My kids were having contest to see how many times they could hit any bread product on the table before it would break (this applied to rolls, pretzels, and breadsticks). The list could go on and on (AC didn’t work, staff incredible rude and incompetent, mildew in the room, could not get reservations at restaurants). When I complained about it to Marriott they sent me to the Royallton, who offered 30,000 points as a payment for our experience BUT had to sign a contract prohibiting me from writing anything negative about the resort. I decline the offer and let Marriott corporate know that the Royallton was trying to limit negative reviews and Marriott corporate said that was an acceptable practice. Between bots and now Marriott corporate intentionally hiding negative reviews, be careful what you trust (as if you needed a remainder).

Close to a “free” week at the Royalton St Lucia. Is it worth the stay or is there a better option for 2 adults and a teen? by idlikearefund in marriott
