The bed was awful and should be replaced. No daily housekeeping, towels trash removal not at all. No in room coffee maker, only got free bottled water on day 1, balcony VERY small, near marina with the fish odors, no restaurant on site just a food truck, no near by restaurants, our parking needed a golf cart to get to room or you walk past marina and dumpsters to get to your car to go to dinner.

I really liked our stay at Skybeach. It is not highly appealing when you first drive in. However, The rooms were super clean, the beds nice and the view outside our room on the balcony was as good as it gets. Absolutely beautiful view. The place is really nice and the staff highly accommodating. We are going back next year.

The view from the room was wonderful! The room was freshly renovated. However, the entire property smelled very strongly of mold even with the upgrades they were doing. On Saturday night, the hotel restaurant turns into a nightclub and shakes the hotel room the music is so loud. Don't come here for a relaxing evening.
