The pictures are deceiving.the first room they gave us was by the active road and we peed in toilet and it stopped up and it took them over 2 hours to bring us a plunger. I asked if they could move us to another room with a view which they moved us for extra 60 bucks . Theat room had a view of the beach beds was hard and someone was playing loud music and unattended kids and we had to park across the street bc limited parking. They don't offer house keeping if stay over and if you ask them for anything they get an attitude with you. The pool steps was broken on one side of the pool and the tiki bar was never open it did open for about 1 hour but never again. The motel needs updated and painted and show real pictures of the rooms for the price you pay for it .some of the staff was friendly.

Great place for the price. It wasn’t the best place we’ve stayed but for the price and convenience. It was nice. The grounds needs some attention. There were minor issues but nothing major. We would stay here again. The room was decent. Location is great. Loved the beach area. To our left and right was packed!! From the high dollar high rises. But ours was excellent and not crowded at all ! A huge plus for us! The chair guy was super kind and accommodating. Everyone we dealt with at the property was very helpful and kind. Only disappointment was we wanted to extend our stay and they said we couldn’t add an additional night.

The pool was the only clean area. The rooms were terrible and outside was too. No help! The only food is restaurants and delivery. You can buy snacks in lobby but that was it. The beds were okay but we couldn't get the sheets changed when asked.

The staff was really friendly and pleasant. It was easy to book and when I called to confirm I got in contact on the first call and they had my info. The room was mostly clean and while the shower was a little dated I had a great water view and the beds were very comfortable. Worth it and would go back again.

Not worth the money

I had to switch rooms because the first room appeared not to be cleaned fully. The towels were not folded. They were looking as if they were used from the previous person. The bathroom had mold the TV didn’t work. It wasn’t connected to the Internet. You can smell the mold throughout the room.

Parking was not the best but its like that with most all the beach front properties. For the age of the building it was in pretty good shape. Ceiling had some stains but is to be expected with a pool/ocean near by i guess.

I didn't get the room I requested with a kitchenette, but the stay was still absolutely wonderful.. I wish there was more parking available with the resort instead of limited parking with the rest across the street, but that was not a big issue. I still would recommend Bikini Beach Resort and would definitely stay again. The view from our room was wonderful.
