The pool area was really nice, some of the halls and parts of the rooms not so much. Our couch was stained up and the grounds around the resort had trash that was never picked up our entire stay. Its quite spread out so bring a beach wagon to carry things. I like that they provide shampoo/conditioner/and body wash in dispensers in the shower, one less thing to have to pack. They also provide towels for the pool/beach. There are loaner bikes you can sign out and putt putt golf to keep you entertained along with water activities you can book if you want to dolphin watch or snorkel(not included).

HORRIBLE IN EVERY WAY!

I knew they were having some construction done- but the entire property was tarped off or unavailable. Construction workers speaking very loudly were everywhere and construction noise and drilling/hammering was just a really lovely add on to the crap stay. The first room they put us in had water pouring on top of the microwave area!!!!! We could’ve been seriously injured, So then they move us to a room where 1 foot outside the tiny floor-level balcony there was a huge machine and construction workers making tons of noise and yelling over the machinery noise. So then they moved us again the next morning. Yes they upgraded us but they had no choice because there were no other regular rooms available and we didn’t even enjoy it because we only spent the night there 1 night. The only pool available was far away in a parking lot, One restaurant was open and it was the equivalent of a TGI Fridays and cost is 130$. The staff was rude and took everything personally or didn’t believe me until they saw it for themselves. All I asked for was a late checkout bc we were exhausted from all the moving around and packing and unpacking out things every day for 3 days. They gave me an 1130 checkout and we were kicked out at 10 with banging on the door. If you are in THAT MUCH CONSTRUCTION then CLOSE UNTIL YOUR GUESTS CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY THE PROPERTY. By far the worst trip of my life. I’m not relaxed, we’re sore from moving around every day and we only saw the water from a far distance. AWFUL!

Originally when I checked in I was put in a building where the elevator was out of service, so we had to carry everything up the stairs to our room. When we got to our room it was not clean, no hot water, construction going on in the building and outside the building, the phone didn’t work to call front desk. I called from my cell and was told they couldn’t do anything. I called the main office and the next morning the moved my family to a different room. It was clean, elevator worked, hot water, etc. The pools were unable to be used still however. We won’t be staying here again, I appreciate that they moved us but it still should not have took the 5 phone calls to get it done, they should ensure elevators are working and rooms are cleaned prior to guest check in. After we were moved the experience was better but still not what we were expecting.

The property is undergoing a renovation and change of ownership/management (Hilton purchased the Bluegreen Property). Very unfortunately, none of that was disclosed on the Expedia listing for the property. There was 1 small pool, not 3 as listed on Expedia. 1 restaurant, w/ a small bar; 3 bars/lounges were listed. No poolside bar, as listed. On the last night of our stay, we had to be moved to another room due to construction issues. I was charged a $137 facilities fee which is laughable as the facilities were so limited!

Falsely advertised! All outdoor attractions were under construction (pool, hot tub, outdoor bars, kayak rental…) onsite bar closed at seven pm. Our room over looking the bay was just overlooking construction of the private beach we did not have access to. Staff was very rude and unwilling to fulfill the few accommodations they did still offer, they did not clean our room once during stay, bathroom fan and toilet were broken. There was nothing within walking distance. So disappointed with our stay. We were advised by hotel management to take up reimbursement with Expedia.

Construction going on. Advertised 3 pools only 1 open for a large complex of hotel and time share guests. Paid for ocean view and could only see the water when standing in front of the slider and looking right, also door opens to a balcony that’s standing only. The room that’s advertised for ocean view with balcony wasn’t even at this hotel as far as we could see. Hallways, elevators dirty and dated. Rooms are dated as well.

Horrible, do NOT stay here

Hotel is set to be lovely, but was under construction we went. Every morning we were woken up by the sound of construction noise on the adjacent room. We were charged a resort fee for use of the resort facilities each day, but to the construction, none of the facilities are available to be used. There was no refund of the resort fee due to thisor acknowledgment of this with staff. To make matters worse, they double charged us. I had paid for everything except for a $100 property fee with the Hotels.com app in advance, and yet the hotel insists that we still owe them for the first night of our stay. Due to this, we are double charged and staff refuses to correct the issue. We had to contact our credit card company for a dispute and refund. The on-site bar and restaurant was closed before 8 PM, and advertised pool bar not available due to the construction. Food and beverages were terrible. Service was just OK at restaurant. After this experience, we did not use the hotel restaurant again. Would not recommend, do not stay here.

The hotel is close to the water and there is a lovely pier attached to the property. Parking is very convenient and there is easy access to tours like boat rides right from the property. Golf and tennis are available close by. These are all the positives. The downside is the property is undergoing major renovations. That might be nice when it is all done, but not if you are trying to enjoy your stay. They did not clean the room or make the bed. When we checked in, none of the lights besides the bathroom lights worked. Maintenance came out and was able to fix most of them. The WiFi and cable didn’t work for over 48 hours of our stay. There was no running water for an entire day at least 8 am - 5 pm. If we had known there wouldn’t be running water, we would have all taken showers ahead of time but there was no advanced notice. When the front desk said they had water available, I thought they might hand each guest a gallon of water to brush teeth, wash your face and hands, maybe even add water to flush a toilet. Imagine my surprise when the front desk handed me one small water bottle per person. The lady told me the water was out for the entire County - which was a lie. The water was out in a small geographic area because of planned work. This could have been communicated to the guests in advance. There is so much construction going on, it made it difficult to walk between construction projects and cement being poured. Work went late into the evening.

First and last Resort I will spend my money on!!!!

I was highly disappointed because my boyfriend and I drove 2 hours to enjoy our romantic getaway for the weekend. The customer service was great but when we arrived to our room I was upset because I specifically booked that room just to have the bay scenery but instead we seen the overgrown bushes. The temperature in the shower was cold and some of the outlets wasn't working. We called the front desk for new towels but they didn't answer the phone so I had to purchase my own towels from Walmart . I didn't have a problem with the construction site.
