On our first night. Fire alarm went off. Called front desk. Rude lady did not know anything rest the alarm went off again. Fire department called. Smell of smoke coming from an electrical room right behind our room. No information and no follow up. Next morning house keeping knoced on our door at 9:30am unacceptable. Hair dryer handle dirty filter dirty. Coffeemaker needs to be replaced. Shower floor needs a better claning. Also bathroom floor. Some mold on tiles. Open Closet in bathroom for clothes not a good idea as bathroom was full of steam after showers. Grounds need to be better kept meaning removing deadplants and weeds

Very nice Resort. Great to see that they have reopened. The area still has a good amount of storm damaged properties. Many are trying to rebuild and reopen. SIBR has done a great job on their rebuild. The Resort lacks a place to sit and or hang out with your group. Just the lobby area has a sofa and chairs on one side, and 4 chairs around a coffee table on the other side of the Lobby. The Evening and Nightshift Front Desk personnel were great with us hanging up front and talking, they even interjected with our laughing and conversations.
