The room we booked vs the room we got were not the same. We requested Gulf view and got Pool view. We tried to resolve our issue, but unfortunately all Gulf rooms were booked when we checked in. Staff seemed like they really didn't to be there. Food was only okay. Room service only happened once while we were there for 5 days, and we had to ask for them to stop by. The pools were nice. The elevator had a hole and made it feel like you were going to fall through. I would not stay at the resort again.

Overall nice

The hotel and property was nice, clean and well maintained. The only issue that we had was that the hotel is very noisy. Walls seemed to be paper thin and you could everything from all sides and above. And since the ice machine was right outside our door I was able to hear the other guest on their 5 am ice run (why does one need ice so early?). Other than that I'd stay again. Ill just come prepared with a sound machine and some ear plugs.

What can I say this was one of the best stays. The bright white sands of the beach the setting is amazing, but even better was the staff they were beyond accommodating to me and my family. Standouts were 1. The bar at the beach makes their own homemade bloody mary spices and concoction 2. The cleaner who found my daughter’s rosary beads 3. The front desk staff always so accessible and willing to accommodate. We were there for an airforce retirement ceremony so the location was perfect.

3 star rating

The amenities and location were nice. The room was a little tired. The bed was comfortable. We booked a suite with gulf views, but on the first floor, we could only see the dunes. There was coffee and cups but no coffee maker. There was no hair dryer in the bathroom. The patio to our room appears to not have been cleaned for a while (cigarette butts and trash). Our favorite part was the bar on the beach (although very pricey) and the cleanliness of the beach.

Paid extra for the garden view room. It was convenient on the first floor but it was small. The bathroom was very tiny. I did like that it had a small fridge and microwave even though we didn’t use it. We wanted to have a drink at the grotto bar but it seemed to always be closed. They gave us only 2 tickets for breakfast so our kids couldn’t eat it for free. This was disappointing considering we paid almost $300/night our stay was for 3 nights.
