Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry to hear about your check in experience, I will make sure to speak to our front desk staff. Thank you for staying here with us at The Island by Hotel RL.
I did love that there was kids activities each day and throughout the day. I found that guest from condos next door could come by to the pools, but we couldn't go to theirs. I guess I think it should go both ways. I was hoping for a better view as I was told I had been upgraded, but at registering we didn't get it. The view even though it wasn't from our room were magnificent. It would be awesome if the hotel would have a shuttle.

Thank you for the candid review. I do apologize for the parking, i'm sorry that you didn't find the elevator in the parking garage to be of assistance. Thank you for staying here at The Island by Hotel RL.
Pros- Pool and restaurant areas are nice. Service and staff were friendly. Housekeeping did a good job cleaning the room. Food was good. Beautiful deck on beach.
Cons- Not enough food options. Very limited. Same food at pool grill and restaurant? Grotto was closed and looking rough. Rooms very dated and common areas carpet was pretty nasty. Our room had a key safe from 1960. Being in pool front room was very NOISY. Loud music starting at about 8am. Until 9pm-ish. Huge fence blocking people from going next door to the boardwalk. Have to walk all the way around, either by beach or front sidewalk. No shuttle. Shuttle of some sort would have been nice.

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you staying at The Island by Hotel RL. We are working on getting the rooms renovated and appliances etc replaced. I will be sure to share the feedback you provided.
The hotel should have contacted you.After seeing the room I talk to the front desk and they canceled or room. The rooms were as well maintained as a trash can at a fast food restaurant. For the price it was horrible. Please let me know if the hotel has contacted this website about refunding us our money? They told me they would.

Thank you for the candid review. I'm sorry for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. With this review I can not see your name or reservation number, you may contact the hotel to provide some information so we can see if the third party has been contacted.
The property is beach front. Great job on beach side of the property with awesome areas with outdoor games, putting greens, and a nice outdoor bar elevated to see the Gulf of Mexico. Both pools are lovely, however the largest pool that has amazing waterfalls flowing off a 30ft tall rock island with a large grotto inside may as well be a postcard. It’s March, the spring warmth is not here yet, and the waterfall pool is not heated. The other pool is heated, not a lot, but 80 degrees is better than a frigid 65 degrees that the waterfall pool is. The lobby is nice with a lot of comfortable seating spread throughout. It’s actually pretty cool in the afternoon as there’s a singer in the bar playing the steele drums. It’s a good place to sit back, relax, and chill. The good ends there! The outdoor corridors are way dated; the blue paint on the doors is out of a 70’s horror flick. The sidewalks are slim and not easily passable when others are passing you, especially with luggage. I’m disabled, so finding a handicapped parking spot is luck of the draw. There’s only 4 that we’ve found, there could be more, but the staff is rather clueless and not just about the nightmare parking spaces. We’ve spoken to no less than 8 employees, short of which way is the beach, don’t bother. There’s little to 0 information about the hotel amenities and where things are. I’m in a wheelchair, ask for directions, they will send you 6 miles out and back to reach a 30 step destination. It’s plain crazy!

Thank you for the candid review. Glad to know you found our grounds and stuff on the back patio enjoyable. Yes the property is outdated in some parts which is why we are constantly improving our property. I will mention you'r concerns to upper management. Thank you.
Prompt service and the pool was very unique even though it was cold. Had several problems with the key not working right
