Perfect for Partiers

The facilities are beautiful and the beach is gorgeous. It is suited for a younger, party oriented crowd. The music from the onsite bar/restaurant was loud well into the night.

Great views

This hotel has bounced back after hurricane damage it is still in the process of repairing some areas. Staff is helpful. The platform beds are a little hard and definitely lower to the ground. The room had a great view but was above the bar so we were unable to leave the sliding door open.

This hotel should be transparent about all the things they did not have. They should have waited to open if they could not adjust the room rate to what they had to offer. Heater pool has not been open since Hurricane Ian, restaurants and bars are not open. The walls are paper thin and we had a couple arguing and crying next door. Asked to be moved if the people weren’t checking out and I never got a call back. Short staffed. Parking lot gentleman was amazing. Great view. I paid 45/each person just to enjoy the pool at Margaritaville Hotel which is next door with the same price. Disappointed all around. I have empathy for the set backs that were caused by Mother Nature, but to cover things up and have signage all over about things that aren’t even open and won’t be for months is ridiculous.

Only problem was that the hot water took roughly a half hour to heat up & then it wasn’t really hot. Also the shower curtain wasn’t long enough and the ledge from shower to floor too shallow. It was impossible to not have the bathroom floor soaked after a shower. The new floors will be ruined soon unfortunately. No shelf or place for soap or shampoo & no grab bar for us seniors. The nice TV should be over the dresser area not in front of the bed. Also no table to eat at. But we really did love the room and location!

Little Disappointed

Stayed only one night. No hot water in the evening nor in the morning. Checked out and notified front desk. They said they would take care of it but didn't offer any discount. I was okay with that. They then tried to call and get another $20 for parking after I checked out.
