Location: St. Lucie River resort vs entertainment-district hotel

voco Sandpiper Resort – Location

voco Sandpiper Resort sits on the St. Lucie River with on-site marina access and a waterfront setting.

  • Riverfront property with non-motorized watersports (included) and a marina.
  • Close to Jensen Beach (about a 7-minute drive) and local nature spots; resort notes driving access to regional airports.
  • Large grounds with event lawns and waterfront ceremony locations.

Choose voco if you want a waterfront resort base with on-site water activities and easy access to nearby beaches and nature.

Residence Inn – Location

Residence Inn by Marriott Port St. Lucie is in the city’s entertainment/business area, near PGA Village and local attractions.

  • Located within a short drive of PGA Village, Clover Park and local family attractions.
  • Address: 1920 Sw Fountainview Blvd, Port Saint Lucie, FL 34986.
  • Practical for car travel and local errands; self-parking is available (fee applies).

Pick Residence Inn for practical access to Port St. Lucie attractions and PGA golf venues rather than a riverfront resort setting.

Rooms: resort rooms & suites vs kitchen-equipped suites

voco Sandpiper Resort – Rooms

voco Sandpiper Resort offers a range of rooms and multi-bedroom suites marketed for families and groups.

  • Multiple room types, including Standard Rooms (waterfront and garden views) and 2-bedroom suites (water view/waterfront).
  • Rooms are sold as all-inclusive — meals and many activities are included in the rate.
  • Room counts vary across sources (249–335) due to renovation phases; confirm count at booking.

voco’s room mix is built around family and group stays with all-inclusive pricing across room types.

Residence Inn – Rooms

Residence Inn has apartment-style rooms and one-bedroom suites designed for extended stays.

  • Room types include: Studio, 1 King Bed with Sofa bed (various accessibility options) and multiple 1-Bedroom Suite layouts (including corner and mobility-accessible variants).
  • All rooms feature kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and stovetops.
  • 125 individually decorated guestrooms aimed at longer stays and self-catering.

Residence Inn is better when you want a kitchen and suite layout for multi-night or self-catered stays.

Dining & drinks: all-inclusive outlets vs grab-and-go plus free breakfast

voco Sandpiper Resort – Dining & drinks

voco Sandpiper Resort includes most meals and house beverages as part of the all-inclusive rate across multiple venues.

  • Riverside Market — international buffet with live chef stations for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Lucie's (beachfront), Solara (seasonal), Match Point (sports bar), Sunset Bar and pool bars; house cocktails, beer and wine included (premium/top-shelf extra).
  • ResortPass day passes can include dining and drinks for non-staying guests during set hours.

If included meals and on-site variety matter, voco offers a clear all-inclusive dining model with multiple casual venues.

Residence Inn – Dining & drinks

Residence Inn provides limited on-site dining with a snack bar/deli and daily complimentary buffet breakfast.

  • Complimentary buffet breakfast served daily; snack bar/deli for casual bites.
  • Suites’ kitchens let guests prepare meals or supplement on-site options.
  • Fewer full-service restaurant options on property compared with a resort.

Residence Inn is best for guests who prefer making some meals in-room or who only need light on-site dining plus breakfast.

Pools & signature amenities

voco Sandpiper Resort – Pools & signature amenities

voco Sandpiper Resort emphasizes multiple pools and waterfront activities as core amenities.

  • Multiple outdoor pools including a family-friendly main pool and an adults-only infinity pool; pools are heated, with whirlpool features and towel service.
  • Included non-motorized watersports (kayaks, paddleboards) and a marina for on-water activities.
  • Daily kids’ and teens’ programs, nightly entertainment and sports courts (pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball).

voco is the pick for pool-focused stays, family activities and included water recreation.

Residence Inn – Pools & signature amenities

  • One outdoor pool (wheelchair-accessible pool noted in amenities).
  • 24-hour fitness facilities and a health club; business center and meeting space for work needs.
  • Miniature golf on site and picnic/barbecue areas for casual outdoor time.

Residence Inn provides basic recreation and fitness amenities that support longer stays, but not the multi-pool, activity-heavy resort experience.

  • Business-oriented amenities including a business center, meeting room and conference space (~635 sq ft).
  • No full-service spa published in supplier listing; massage or spa services are not listed as a core on-site offering.
