I am beyond disappointed. Bliss By The Sea was an absolute nightmare and nothing like what was advertised. I can’t believe I fell for such a scam. I had planned a romantic Thanksgiving weekend with my fiancé, but instead it turned into the worst travel experience I’ve ever had—and I’ve traveled all over the world. The bathroom was unacceptable: no shower head, a bathtub so high it felt unsafe to use, and overall extremely tiny and outdated. The rest of the property was dusty, poorly maintained, and far from clean. To make matters worse, there was no staff onsite to assist with anything. This place was marketed as a hotel, but in reality it felt more like a rundown Airbnb. It was absolutely not worth staying here, and I would never recommend it to anyone. When I called Bliss By The Sea for help, I explained that we had paid for a Deluxe Suite with a jetted bathtub. Instead, they insisted we had booked a junior suite, refused to change our room, and told us we couldn’t get our money back—even though we had been there less than 30 minutes. They argued with me and directed me to complain to Travelocity, but I received no meaningful support there either. The only option was a chat agent who was unhelpful, and no one would speak to me directly on the phone. In the end, we were forced to stay, lose our money, and watch my fiancé cry from disappointment. This trip broke our hearts. I am deeply disappointed in Bliss By The Sea, Travelocity, and the experience in St. Augustine overall.

HORRIBLE!!! NO HOT WATER AND NO REFUND

NO HOT WATER and NO FULL REFUND! My husband and I are locals and came for an anniversary weekend overnight in a jacuzzi tub room. After spending a day at the beach we tried to shower and had no hot (or even warm) water. Called the help number and were told to run the water for 10 minutes. It still was not warm. After talking with them for about 30 minutes they said they would send someone to fix it. We left for dinner (sweaty and sandy from the beach) and came back and still no hot water. On the phone with the help desk again and they said someone was on site fixing it and to run the water again for 10 minutes. The water was still running when a person stopped by 15 minutes later, touched the cold water and said nothing could be done until morning. We said we were leaving and wanted a refund, she said she did not have the authority to do that and would have to talk to someone in the morning. We left the crappy hotel and went home. WE were only there 5 hours. Texted the resort help desk the next day about the refund and they offered 15%. After going back and forth through texts for over an hour they finally gave us 50% back. Keep in mind we were only there for 5 hours and could not shower or use the jacuzzi tub because they had no hot water. THERE IS NO MANAGEMENT OR RECEPTION ON SITE!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY.

Lovely sunset sky

Small hotel which is perfect for us. Great location and views of the sunset. Next door is local restaurant. Very nice breakfast buffet. Easy drive to St Augustine. Only slightly negative comment is the contactless feature is a little extreme, barely any human interaction.

Very nice property. Easy check in. We were very happy that they offer a breakfast with coffee, tea and juice. With actual coffee cups, plates and utensils. Pool was very regal. Nice fountain and a beautiful deck that takes you out to the dock and the other side of the street is the ocean. Beautiful place for a romantic getaway. Will recommend to friends.

Great choice for a relaxing getaway on A1A in Crescent Beach/Matanzas River area. Bed was comfortable and room was huge plus the balcony was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset. It was a nice walk to the pier and a cool breeze while we were sitting there.

Breathless.

When we checked in we didn’t have any hot water in shower. Management informed. Second night fight in hallway. A lot of cursing. Elevator was in operative for 2 days. Third day still no hot water in shower. Management couldn’t seem to rectify problem. We checked out on day three.

A QUICK RECHARGE

THIS PLACE IS PERFECT. IT has a mansion type feel to it. The rooms / bathrooms are super nice. The breakfast was solid with fruit, yogurt and bangles. Coffee was delicious. There’s a dock that you can walk out on. Maybe 200 ft long. Has a nice little swimming pool. It’s small but it works. Great place for pictures and recharging. The walls are alittle thin. Remember this a mansion style vibe. Parking a little tight but not bad. Super easy check in. The public beach access will be about a 10 minute walk. Give this place a stay 🌴

Very small! Misleading Pictures and Descriptions!!

The pictures online were quite beautiful and very deceiving. The arrival was smooth, great communication and they even allowed us to check in early! That’s where the positives stop. The listing said two pools and two pool bars. The pools were the size of hot tubs, not pools, and there was no bars at all!! The listing said family friendly, but we were very glad we didn’t book this place with our son. It’s definitely not family friendly! Also, no elevator! The room was extremely small, barely room for one person to walk through and very difficult for two! The wall side of the bed was barely passable. (The book is a scale for the picture) In the room, you could hear every noise in the hallway The bathroom had a gas station bathroom soap dispenser, rust from the faucet and the sink was so low the water splattered everywhere. My husband was so uncomfortable and claustrophobic, we couldn’t remain in room any longer than to sleep. The worst part of the stay was no hot water!! My husband ran the water over 10 minutes before taking a cold shower. After notification, they said the water takes a little while to warm up in Room 8!! They offered to move us at 11:30pm or we could use the shower in the room next to us!! Why were we placed in a room they knew had no hot water, if they had another open!! They did offer us 15% discount…haven’t seen anything yet! We were looking forward to a great adult getaway, extended our trip one day with this hotel and truly wished we didn’t!
