WASHINGTON, D.C. Ð Feb. 14, 2001 Ð Marriott International (NYSE:MAR) has been named to manage a 471-room resort currently under construction on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. It is scheduled to open in 2003.

Frigate Bay is the gateway to the southeast peninsula of the island and is situated within a 10-minute drive of Basseterre and the airport.

The resort will have the flexibility to offer up to 623 rooms. It will consist of a 237-room, five-story main building and an additional 386 rooms in a series of three-story garden villas that will surround the swimming pools and will be situated between the main hotel building and the beach.

Recreational amenities will include a health club/spa, two swimming pools, tennis courts, retail shopping, a daycare Kids Club and a casino. Other amenities will include a business center and in-room safes. Golf will be available nearby as part of the overall Frigate Bay development.
