I really like the location and the set up of the property the unit sizes were very good and all of the amenities made our stay more enjoyable

Second time we stayed here. First times at the Villas. Two bedroom townhouse style with full kitchen and washer n dryer was great for a family of five. Great staff. Easy check in. Spent most of our pool time at the Islander. Everyone loved it. Our biggest issue was the key situation. Several times throughout the week all of keys would stop working. The Villas uses a different key system than the Islander. And there’s only someone in the Villas office during check in. We were part of a group of 18. And this caused a lot of issues. We had to wait up to and over an hour sometimes for someone to come over to make new keys. We heard their reason for keys not working so many times we could recite it ourselves. One of the villas had a 3 and 5 yr old that got locked in. Took an hour to get someone there. Almost called the fire department. They need to update their key system. Or keep someone at the desk at all times at the Villas. Everything else was great. We also used Clearly Unique for snorkeling and a Sandbar excursion. They run out of the Islander which was super convenient. The fun crew were also great. Ricardo was great! My kids had a great time hanging and playing soccer, basketball, ping pong and a bunch of other activities.

The rooms are worn down with bugs. The pool was filthy the entire time we were there. 5 nights, you would think they would clean it once in that time. Service and food at the resort was awful and overpriced. Billing practices on checkout are dishonest and not upfront.

This is the second time we stay here. I can say we were disappointed in housekkeping. The fridge was streaked. The dryer didn't dry and there was a pack of someone else clothes left by the machine. There was food in the night stands ( yuck) . In addition , there was a boat in the slip with political messages .... that is offensive. Although, we received one days resort fee back . I would have preferred to have a neat unit.

I would return. The staff was great, flexible and the facilities were very nice. Awesome balcony off master bedroom.

A lovely - beautiful place to stay! I absolutely enjoyed my stay all the way!!

room was perfect, the staff was exceptional, unfortunately i had to leave a day early, my grandson was hit by a car, my daughter was frantic!! but everything turned out good. i will return again-

Between the location and the amenities you get staying here I can't say enough good words about the Islander Bayside. The only warning I could mention is that there are two units a little close to the highway and dumpster. Ensure that you get as close to the pool as possible.

It was fabulous. We would definitely stay there again.
