You guys are on your own on this one. The Sun King doesn’t drink coffee. He drinks tea and doesn’t foresee an occasion in which he’ll be on the Marriott property drinking tea. Anything can happen, though. If it does happen, he’ll review it here honestly.
Reviews of Cafe San Marco are mixed on TripAdvisor and Yelp. Some of the positive takeaways include the location, attention to detail from the staff, and an environment consistent with the luxury hotel. On the other hand, other hotel guests prefer coffee from a Starbucks store, as is the norm in many other JW Marriott resorts.
