My wife and I booked a Waterside Premier Room at SkyBeach Resort to celebrate our 11th anniversary. We even arranged an overnight sitter and were excited for a relaxing staycation close to home. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Upon arrival, we were told the resort had overbooked our room and moved us to a lesser Marina-side room. The front desk staff was friendly and offered a $50 food credit and to waive the resort fee, but it was disappointing to start our anniversary this way, especially since we had confirmed our room days in advance. The new room was fine but definitely not what we paid for. We tried to make the best of it and went to the bar to use our credit. Service started out okay but quickly declined. Our appetizer took about 45 minutes to arrive and was lukewarm when it did, suggesting it had been sitting out. Our entrées—a soft-shell crab sandwich and a po’ boy—arrived an hour later and were cold. The staff member who brought them apologized, saying he wasn’t sure how long they’d been waiting. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi, which were clean and relaxing, but later that night I received a bill missing our $50 credit. I had to go back to the front desk the next morning to have it fixed. Overall, SkyBeach Resort has great potential with its beautiful setting and amenities, but the lack of organization and inconsistent service made our anniversary stay disappointing—especially for the price and occasion.

Property is still going through an update from a motel to "resort". They created a small make shift beach area at the marina, No one got in the water so I didnt either. But It does have a nice ambiance. My issues began when I realized my tub/ shower did not work. The only resolve was for me to use a shower in another room. So at 2 am I had to go outside to get downstairs to the room. The receptionist assured me that I should be receiving compensation upon checkout, because they know some rooms have no water. However upon checkout we were told that they could not do anything referring me to expedia. When expedia tried contacting them, while I was still there, they refused to answer their call. Then lied and said I was compensated and was not owed anything further. I would not recommend this location as it seems compensations or refunds are only offered to people of a certain skin color while others are dismissed.

Extremely noisey, breakfast food choice needs updating, the concierge app didn’t work for me or they didn’t attend it so I had to call the main number each time I needed something but the staff was super nice. I’m disable so the room was a challenge and they couldn’t accommodate a room change but was really helpful with my luggage and transportation. The room was super clean, they have a blue tooth speaker for use but you should bring a charger (not iPhone), you can control the temperature of the room from your phone app also which was cool. I would stay again but not for peace and quiet but to have more of a fun time with a friend.

There was noise and construction happening in areas / rooms next to ours. The only dining was the bar and half the menu wasn’t available. The staff offered a credit to satisfy our complaints. We used the credit and then went to check out and told all this money we owe and they denied the credit! We had to go thru a whole process with management and our credit card company to fight this. I have never had duck. Bad experience at a hotel / resort.

This is not a resort but an old motel. I’d advise you to look else where. Crack heads stealing your money. They stole my money. Thief’s make sure you do your full research before you book this place don’t be fooled. The pictures you see are completely misleading. Expedia did nothing for us. They try to gift you 25$ credit on key cash. This place is a scam, scam, scam!
