First off, You will be charged an extra $50 PER NIGHT AT CHECK IN even after you’ve paid for your entire stay. They fail to inform you of that and you cannot get a refund and go stay else where. Secondly, the beds are thin and have a big dent in the middle of both we had so your just rolled to the middle and you can feel the springs beneath you. Thirdly, the elevator stopped working and we were on the sixth floor with a toddler. And Lastly, you have no control over the ac units in your room which was really irritating hence that is was really hot outside and stuck on 70-71 in the room. I will say the pool and beach access and tiki bars themselves were nice and fun to experience, the housekeepers and lady at the desk were also nice. Overall I don’t recommend and I won’t be back.

My room was disgusting. I had to walk to Winn-Dixie to purchase cleaning supplies and pillowcases and a blanket. You have to go all the way downstairs to get a cup of coffee in the morning. And I killed a roach my first night

Family-friendly but needs work

When we first arrived at the hotel, we were given a room that was already occupied. The next room we were given that we ended up staying in was comfortable and nicely laid out but the bathroom was dirty and run down looking. We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub and tiki bar.

The floor was swept but not mopped in our room. My babies were absolutely filthy minutes into our stay. We ended using a towel to cleam the floor as much as we could given the limited resources (see picture.)Only a single receptionist employee seemed to be happy to be there. One of the two elevator frequently went down. Luckily we didnt get stuck, but i spoke with a lady that got stuck muliple times during her stay. The amenties, like refrigerator and microwave were rusted, i typically dont complain about the a room needing updated, but this must be included. And the single most frustrating thing, with a "do not disturb" hanger on the door, they proceeded to enter our room. Also, on a another day, they needed to conduct an replacement to a fire sprinkler. I requested they give me a call before hand, i messaged the front desk and the the do not disturb hanger was on the door. Needless to say, i was very displeases to come into my room with two bery suspicious folks in my room while I was out. Not notice, no call, not a care given. Low standards here at this resort as they dont seem to mind the conditions. Lastly, we never could tell when the tiki bar would be opened or closed. Very inconsistent hours. The beach was stunning. The view was beautiful - even saw dolphins on several occassions from our balcony. We made the best out of the stay, and the value of the place is undeniable if you dont mind cleaning it first.

The wife and I booked a last-minute Labor Day weekend consisting of Friday night through Monday morning. Upon arrival, we were sad to find out that the property as big as it is only had one operable elevator. I’m handicap and they offered no handicap parking. But I believe the worst thing that needs to be mentioned is we suffered the whole weekend without Wi-Fi. I spoke to several staff members including a manager. All I got was lies. The hotel information states free Wi-Fi but we never seen it. Needless to say, I would be extremely hesitant to book there again.
