The front desk service was very nice, however everything else was lacking attention. The lobby door to the pool is very hard to open. The towel lady was very hard to find, i had to take multiple trips until i finally got the towels. The pool needs better service, the walls and decor areas have algae. The restaurant has very slow service, only one waitress. The room had dirty floors and the ac unit was extremely loud, i had to turn it off so i could sleep.

Our first day of arrival(Sunday) didn’t start well. They had a boil water advisory for our entire 6days. I understand that’s out of their control. The problem is that they didn’t offer bottled water to the guest, no ice machines working. We were told “you be the judge if you want to use it to brush your teeth” I just felt as if the Hilton could’ve at least provided bottle waters during this time. We went daily to buy water and ice. On Tuesday a note was slid under the door. It stating that you were to remove your do not disturb signs for work that would be done 9am-6pm until May 9th in your room on the TV. That was awkward not knowing when they would walk in. Today it’s Friday and it started bad. A guy walked in to our room to clean at 9am. Luckily my husband was at the door to stop him. They had it mixed up they had it as we checked out last night. Used the washer today, it didn’t spin out our clothes! The ceiling in front of our room was pouring water from a vent and a hole in the ceiling during the rain storm. An hour later the fire alarm went off and we had to go out in the rain for that! Now as we sit here we have NO water!!!! I CAN NOT make this up! We stay here when we come but we may try another place next time!

Great hotel bad bar service

Everything great except bartending at indor bar on Saturday. Untrained and unprepared person put in position to tend bar. Not this persons fault. Management should not put a person in a position to serve drinks with no training. And they had no person to call to bar to assist even when i asked for to get someone to help her. Worst margaritas ive ever had. My complaint to Management was quickly noted but no action to remedy my bill or offer coupon or anything was offered. Wasted money on drink as o did pay for two of them.

Pros: close to beach, great outdoor pool, nice and clean bedroom. Cons: Area around indoor pool was not very clean. Daily parking was expensive. Dining option in hotel was expensive. Some guests were drunk during spring break, it would be good if they had security guards walking around the hotel during that season.

Nice place,

Great facility and location! Surprisingly good food in the restaurant. Beach wasn’t the best or safest—people were fishing right where people were swimming and my daughter got tangled in fishing line. I reported it to staff but they said fishing was allowed and there was nothing they could do. That’s my only complaint, though.
