Discovery at Marigot Bay is nestled into a hillside overlooking a scenic bay. The on-site marina makes luxurious yachts part of the scenery. The eco-friendly resort was built with local materials, and the manicured grounds include a tree house, a thatched hut, and a Zen garden. The resort has one restaurant, a coffee shop, a bakery, two bars, two pools, a spa and fitness center, and sports facilities. Yoga, meditation, and exercise classes are offered.

Discovery at Marigot Bay has a polished, somewhat sophisticated feeling, an ambience the on-site marina helps create. While there is plenty to do without leaving the property, those looking for a party atmosphere or an endless list of activities may be happier elsewhere.
