Recent Be Live Grand Marien Review: "The Be Live Grand Marien has a fun, friendly staff that speaks multiple languages and is happy to do so. The hotel grounds are very well maintained and the building we stayed in was newly remodeled and was excellent (bldg 8). The buffet has very good breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had many choices, vegetarian, seafood and red meat. At breakfast, the  cooks were happy to make eggs, any style for us. This hotel is safe and kid friendly. During the week, it was quite and easy to find pool and beach chairs. On the weekend, the crowd picks up and you need to be an early riser to secure a poolside seat under the tiki huts. Be sure to take advantage of the free snorkel gear and kayaks that they let you use for free. Make sure you know the exchange rate, and prepare to haggle on the price of everything, both in the hotel and out. We recommend the Grand Marien very highly!"
