Great location

Pros: Location
Cons: Put water in the rooms and more coffee. Only coffee for two cups!!
Location: On the beach with pretty pool.
The beds seemed old and not very comfortable. The linens were well worn as well. Our room was very damp (probably the air conditioner). Our cloths were very damp this morning when we went to pack up to leave.

Not impressed at all

Hotel was old, the room & the halls, along with the decor was very old. I was not impressed at all. The gazebo advertised was closed all weekend, such a bummer indeed. The balcony was small and the view was obtrusive. The AC never cooled, over all it was a bad experience. HOWEVER, the restaurant was amazing! The food served was exceptionally delicious. Our server was Mercedes, she provided excellent service and made our stay better.

Close to the beach, great pool but rooms could use

The pool area could use more lights at night for safety reasons. The outside restroom near the pool were disgusting and full of sand. The rooms need some remodeling, especially the restroom. The air conditioning in the room was not working properly.

Pearl is Not Always a Jewel

Pros: Nice pool areas; staff was friendly. Ate in the restaurant first night; had the seafood buffet. It was good.
Cons: Maid service. Smell of interior.
Older hotel; did not smell good for some reason. We had a balcony on our room and upon arrival, their was bird poop all over it; had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. Maid service did not show up first day there. I had to call twice to get them to send Maid Service, supply toilet tissue, clean towels. Last day there, Maid Service did show up and cleaned room and balcony, but I believe that had I not called, they may have not showed up on last day either. Staff was friendly; no complaints about the staff.

Nice location

Food is ok not a good value. Way too expensive food .According to marketing a resort fee is charged ,no resort services provided , not even pool towels were provided. No beach chairs provided no pool bar open , no pool waiter present . Hotel needs updating . I think their rates and fees are riding in the conttails of the past without updating . E.g. 1 omelet and 2 scramble eggs plus 2 pineapple jiuces and extra sausage 30 plus dollars I believe 37 .

Nice hotel and friendly staff!

Pros: The amenities
Cons: Rooms somewhat outdated. Some of our towels had holes in them, the balcony door lock was rusted and would not lock, one lamp did not work.
Location: Location is great! Right on the beach, next door to schlitterbaun water park.
My daughter and I did a short getaway to SPI, and the Pearl was a great choice! The grounds are gorgeous, clean pool and hot tub, swim up bar. They have a nice boardwalk to the beach. We did not eat at the restaurant on the grounds only because we had plans elsewhere. The rooms are really clean and the beds were extremely comfortable! We will stay here again!!

Close to the Beach and Good Marketing

Pros: Location
Cons: Ensure ALL Maintenance is appropriately and timely completed...(Air Conditioning air filters, coil cleaning and rattle/noises, etc)
Location: Virtually anything a tourist would like to do in this town is very nearby
The location is nice and hotel/Travelocity marketing is very good. I was surprised by a "REQUIRED" [additional] $50 draft/hold BEFORE receiving electronic key to assigned room; although room price including fees and taxes were collected via Travelocity and [already] paid for in advance. All three (3) "window shaker" Air Conditioners had red lights lit up indicating Air Filter needed clean. The air filters did need to be cleaned/changed. Moreover, each window shaker buzzed and rattled all night long. Staff was courteous and kind.

Loved this hotel last year, not so much this year

The service went way down this year. One of the main reasons we came back was the convenience of the poolside grill. It was only open halve a day while we were there. Excuse was that there wasn't enough guests to open. Pool towels were hard to come by as well. It seemed they partially shut down...which would have been fine had we paid a "partial service rate" for the hotel

Nice hire with great view!!!

Took the family to stay at The Pearl this pet weekend. Nice hotel! Awesome view! I thought the brunch was overpriced but the food was good. Pool was feat and the beach access was right there. We will definitely be going back.
