Maybe because I booked on Expedia and not with the hotel directly, the room was horrible. I had called the property to make them aware that it was a special time-my husband's birthday, the room as well as the location, left a lot to be desired. Thank God for Mae, the receptionist that changed our room the next day. The stay improved after that..the beach is beautiful

The pool/beach area was amazing! The poolside service was awesome. My only concern was me a senior and friend staying with me a senior were assigned a 4 th floor room with no elevator. It took almost an hour to find a space that had an elevator. Jared the security guy was so helpful. Then for check out the system evidently had an issue and tried to charge me for what I had paid for on Expedia. Loved the resort not the service or convenience

This property was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian and its been a long recovery. The price I paid to stay there was not related to the condition of the property. Only one pool is open and many buildings unoccupied. Occupancy when I was there was probably 10% but I was put in the farthest building away from the pool and beach amenities and I was on the 4th floor of a building that still has no working elevator. That was not known to me when I booked. I would not recommend staying at the hotel for quite some time until all renovations are completed.

Really great to see property coming back to life after getting hit hard by hurricane Ian a few years ago. The room I stayed in was brand new and very nice. Staff was polite, responsive, and helpful. Great pool area with plenty of seating, drink/food service at your chairs, and the kids loved the water slide. The hibachi restaurant on property was a lot of fun as well.

I don’t use to review, but I must this time. Elevator won’t work, loud noises, facilities basically under construction, room are nice but a little dirty, hairs in bathrooms, some pools closed, they shouldn’t open until they finish, it’s a total scam for the price you pay and what you get.
