The islander resort is nothing like it shows in the pictures. The room had dead bugs all over the floor. Pool is down because of maintenance. And the front desk people were rude.

This place is a roach motel, not a resort. When you walk in the room the smell of mildew is so strong it makes your nose burn, the second night we were there a cockroach crawled out from under the couch. The staff dismissed these concerns. The beds are very uncomfortable. There is no elevator. You have to walk to a different building to retrieve towels, toilet paper, etc. The bathroom had mold in it. The area around it is very run down. Dining options are terrible.

They Don’t Care!

This place doesn’t care about your satisfaction. When I complained about the cleanliness and lack of service the person at the counter said “What do you want me to do about it?! We don’t have the people!” She also explained that the $300 a night had nothing to do with quality, just the demand for rooms.

The Islander is a great vacation spot with a pool and easy beach access. The room was sufficient, but it could use a bigger bathroom space which is my only negative. Great location, friendly staff, large rooms
