Casa Ybel lost all of the charm it had from many years ago. It looks like a run of the mill time share property with zero character. No signage present for checking in. No one answering repeated phone calls at 6pm for help with directions. Way over priced for the condition of the rooms and to charge extra daily for a cheap umbrella and two chairs? Not worth it. Consider other properties that value customer service in this price range.

We loved our stay. I was a bit disappointed that when they put in all the new furnishings some of it was kid of junky or not installed well including bedside table drawer kept falling off. Cabinet in master bath was not lined up. One of bathroom barn sliding doors was very hard to slide. I would have expected the brand new furnishing to have been installed much better than that.

Beautiful family friendly beachfront resort.

Both the staff and resort were wonderful. Very clean place. Staff at the hotel, restaurants and pool were all very sweet and helpful. Would highly recommend this resort for families as the units are spacious, have full kitchens, and an outdoor screened in porch. The only negative was that the beach chairs are not included in the stay. You would need to rent them daily or by the week or get your own beach chairs and umbrellas from a local shop and bring them to the beach. Even with that being said, it is a wonderful place to vacation and definitely somewhere we would stay at again.

FABULOUS LOCATION GREAT PLACE TO SHELL!!!

Beautiful location. Wonderful for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. Location to beach is fabulous. Pool is great. Rooms are clean, however, the room is a bit dated. Our unit had a modernized kitchen which made it pleasant to look at. We would return here again.
