The hotel needs updating It probably was very nice at one time The bathrooms are great, the meeting rooms were great (I was there for a conference) and the food was excellent

We did not buy the breakfast there because it was very overpriced The beach is a bit dirty but still enjoyed sitting by it I don’t mean dirty like trash, I mean dirty like it looks like lake water The temperature inside our room was hot The unit showed 65 but it was prob closer to 80 We sweat at night the last night I read other reviews where they had the same issue They don’t have a fridge or microwave but you can get a fridge if they have a spare one and you ask I found that weird It is 2022, hot outside, and the price suggest at least this amenity Would I stay again, absolutely if work is paying I would personally prob get a different hotel if I were choosing But it was still a good stay and I’m not opposed to returningPlease put some money into updates and this place will be worth the visit

Joel Gorrín Monzón (Joe Google Reviews)

My first impression of the hotel was not shocking It is not a luxury hotel but the reception was excellent, the entry process was fast and very good cleanliness in the main Lobby area The elevators are in very good condition and when you arrive at the room very good impression, very spacious, good view of the bay, good temperature and good smell, the best thing about the room is the bathroom, super spacious and comfortable

The only downside is that it doesn’t have a refrigerator but nothing so necessary for usMy Joe Google Rate is: 95%

When I booked, I was told I could check in early for $50 on the phone I had a surgery that morning When I arrived they charged me for and entire extra day for checking in early

When I did check in I was not given a parking pass and the parking person outside wasn’t there Finally he showed up and told us to just go in the garage THEN, I went to the room and it was the wrong room We had to walk all the way back to front desk and sit and wait for him to finally find the room that I booked THEN, before surgery I am required to take a shower, the shower is broken there is only one temperature, hell fire I tried every angle to take a shower and it wouldn’t even shoot out cold water, only hot Called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do So I had to basically burn my skin to shower before my surgery I was supposed to be sleeping before At this time I hadn’t had any sleep yet Also the pillows were rock hard They advertised room service for food and none of that was included I paid $700 for a day and a half and I would never go there again Also the carpets were filthy in the room and in the halls

Wow! The staff was amazing! Quick shout out to the manager Tyler who saved our stay and made things awesome for our family! If his Boss reads this, he deserves a raise! Location is perfect, the hotel is very clean, heated salt water pool, lots of rooms with kitchens and full size refrigerators for those with kids and travel on a budget On site parking garage, beach towels included, on site restaurants Check for deals and go!

Douglas Considine

We got started off on the wrong foot, my check-in was 2 hours late But we were able to come to an agreement The hotel is well taken care of, and the rooms are beautiful and spacious

You couldn’t ask for a better location to the beach And may I add, what a beach it is All of the amenities are conveniently located Once again great job Hyatt, I think the only problem at this resort may lie with the general manager It seems he’s cutting back on the qualified employees

mathew jadan

Loved the stay! They have an amazing rooftop pool and restaurant and a beautiful sky terrace where you can get remarkable sunrise and sunset views The rooftop restaurant had great food and also a poolThe beach was right across a small downtown looking road

Also, the gulf is much warmer than the ocean which makes it more enjoyable The sand and the beaches are to die for

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room This site will compare thousands of booking websites and usually will have rooms much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downStill features one of the most elegant Sunday brunches in the area, although there are no real safety precautions which was a bit disappointing Food is fresh and well -prepared with a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch/dinner fare The buffet includes a free mimosa, unlimited coffee, hot or iced tea and soft drinks

Marcus Miller

As a venue for a wedding, it was a great choice Absolutely incredible dinner service, bar was great, and lighting was well managedFor the hotel/spa, sub-par

Pool is nice, but crowded Limited chairs and towels Charges for spa were supposed to be waived for wedding, but wouldn’t remove a small $32 charge because it was booked through a third party Not a big deal, but more of the principal of the matter Room service was running behind for a morning breakfast (scheduled) 21% gratuity is automatic and the price on the menu didn’t match the price on the bill Very unfortunate considering a gratuity is linked to serviceThe entire hotel needs a coat of paint and a pressure wash outside Multiple parts of the hotel either smelled of mildew or bleach The room was clean and well stocked, but the towels were rough The furniture could definitely use an upgradeRecommendation for management/owners, whoever is the hospitality manager for the venue/wedding operations should be put in charge of all the others operations as well Perhaps they would bring the service level up and we’d stay again

Chris Camerlengo

Went for spring break with my son to catch Yankee spring training A relative set us up with a 2 night stay From check in to check out was nice place

Could use better water pressure and room updates But beds were comfortable Food at hotel was solid And the surrounding areas have places to eat Was a too short trip He will return with friends next year

Property is beautiful Really enjoyed hearing the history of the place The porch is set up beautifully with lots of comfortable seating

Entrance and lobby is gorgeous Rooms are spacious and clean Bed was comfortable for a hotel bed and we had plenty of pillows Shower was big with a large seat Our view overlooked the pool/back of the property We definitely enjoyed the pool and hot tub There was a basket waiting outside our room in the morning with complimentary croissants, apples, and orange juice The croissants were fresh, delicious, and melted in your mouth The lack of staff means we had to wait to check in and out When we first arrived there was a young girl at the counter who was on the phone She made us stand there and wait a good 5 minutes only to tell us our room wasn’t ready (which I figured since we were early) She didn’t mention anything about the hotel itself and I had to ask her about the wristbands for the sister resort When we went back later the gentleman that checked us in was very attentive and informative Overall very good experience and would definitely go back

Liliana Palacios

Our stay was great from the moment we arrived, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated corridors The room could not be better: clean, good size and elegant The bathroom is equally clean and comfortable, and to my surprise it uses an absolutely wonderful brand of toiletries, which smells very good

When I left my room in the morning, I found a little picnic basket with breakfast in it on my doorstep I think it’s a precious detail with the client! The only bad thing was that my husband fell down the stairs, because the floor of the stairs and the rest of the floor is the same color, which creates a visual effect that confuses those who come down, because he thinks that the stairs have ended, for what I think there should be precautions for the elderly or those with disparities

The Simple Travels

And incredibly beautiful and historic building and very polite staff The restoration of this now boutique hotel makes this a place you’ll want to stay We’ll give only a 4

5 star because the shower head in the room we were first given did have missing tile around it as well as a towel shoved in the small hole to somehow disguise it some Staff was kind to move us, but new room had dust bunnies at bed and no toiletries Mostly minor things, but not something we’d expect for a higher priced hotel All that aside, we enjoyed our stay overall

A very nice, upscale hotel that has plenty to chose from during your stay We visited for a few days and we didn’t want to leave! Check in/out was a breeze Complimentary glass of champagne was nice upon check in! Plenty of food options on site as well

Poolside service was a little slow, but it wasn’t the servers fault They were hustling like crazy! Just more incentive to walk and get more drinks! We enjoyed the corn hole boards and ping pong table on site The beach was amazing as usual! We stayed in a coastal view room Well worth the extra money for a better view in my opinion The room was spacious and comfortable Shower water pressure was phenomenal as well if you care about that Overall, we can’t wait to go back!

Quentin Moore

Nice hotel Great location Friendly and helpful staff

Very comfortable room A bit overpriced for what you get I’ll probably consider cheaper options for my next tripThe distance from the free hotel beach chairs to the water is a bit far I recommend bringing your own chairs and beach tent and set up near the water We used the Pacific Breeze Easy Setup Beach Tent loungersTip: At the bench, if you go out just beyond the white crashing waves, the water becomes calmer and shallower

B B

Really well run hotel Great amenities and location Beautiful piece of property that is situated on a beach mostly away from the crazy busy typical Clearwater touristy vibe

Conference hall was modern and clean Great service, but the food was average during our eventFront desk reception was polite and accommodating I can’t recall the woman’s name who took care of us in the lobby but she was very thoughtful and pleasant Fernandina?

This is a really nice place for the price The rooms are very large (like a tiny apartment) and have really nice features such as Microwave, fridge/freezer, cups, silverware, and plates 2 full size beds, couch and dining room table

3 sinks total! Free 2 pretzel snacks and 2 little chocolate was in the kitchen area for newcomers which was quite niceThe bathroom is also very spaciousThe beds are quite comfortable, not hard like many other places They have a slight bounce to themService is pretty good although only available in the morning between 7-10am So if you need anything it needs to be requested during those timesThe main entrance area has a pool table, books and board games to check outIt also had a lot of nice outside activities, pool, pickleball, and shuffleboard, Cornhole etcReally think if you’re in the area you should definitely give this place a shot!

Lourdes Rodriguez

This is a great place to stay I booked 2 rooms The rooms are clean, no bugs, no bedbugs, no carpet so, no bad smell either

Wonderful location Bed super comfortable Electric locks took some getting used to

But would certainly stay here again When we asked for help they showed up within 20 minutes and we’re very helpful They were easy to reach if any issues happened The full-size fridge was extremely helpful since we were here as part of a wedding party 10/10

Marcia Green

The MarBay Suites is a small, quaint motel with a kitchenette in the room (full-size fridge and microwave) The owners are working hard on updating all units, and it shows The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the room was clean

We would stay there again! Be sure to check out the beautiful Philippe Park – just a short way down the road

Saiem Novak

The rooms are a great place to lay your head and the laundry is free for all guests However I was surprised to see tiny and medium sized roached and how laxed the owner was about them being in the room While there was negotiations of a refund and an offer of a free room to change our review

The offer was taken when asked to use it The owner is friendly and nice, but don’t expect anything to be done in the right way Other than that I’ll be alright with returning if needed to stay with my own spray to combat the bugs Thank you Mar Bay for the awesome room, it was beautiful and relaxing enough as it is

I really like this place I enjoyed the clean hotel room and the affordable price Staff and the pool are very nice Great location

I only stayed here for a few days because I wanted to try it out before I would stay here longer and it was an absolute joy to be there Housekeeping and staffed really seem to take care of the hotel and make sure the sheets were amazing and clean They are the real stars of this hotel and deserve good tips The only negative that I have is that the laundry area was very dirty and poor lighting There are some situations where the hotel can use more security lighting

Sarah Nickles

I’m always scared of places my husband picks but this was a definite winner!! The room was spacious, clean and the AC was cold!! The pool area was very nice The housekeeping staff was the bomb!! We would leave in the morning to head to the beach and come back to fresh towels, a cleaned room and beds made Central location to the beach access and restaurants are within a short walking distance

Would definitely stay again Older hotel but I would highly recommendwe stayed in the two story building

Chanelle Burris

This hotel has a good location and I would have to say their bedding is very clean AC works fine The problem is it just doesn’t feel clean at all

The floors could use a good mopping and the bathroom already had hairs everywhere before using it The drain looks old and rusty The staff were helpful to provide more towels as requested which was nice of them But these towels I found there is a stain on itThere was no fan in washroom and stains on the couches and chairs Very oldOverall it was an okay stay and next time I hope to have more money to stay somewhere nicer

I definitely enjoyed my stay here The staff was super friendly and helpful and provided me with everything I needed They had so many breakfast options which I loved and the food was great

Rooms were very clean and I love how they make little swans out of the towels and place them on your bed Wasn’t crowded in this hotel which was a plus Using the Hilton Honors app made my stay even better because I was able to text the front desk with any questions I had and I can also check in and out without contact The man at the front desk gave me physical key cards anyway even though I had the digital one The staff definitely made me feel welcomed I was acknowledged and greeted by everyone I was walking down the hall for breakfast and one of the housekeepers asked me if I needed more towels and I said “I still have enough” She went out of her way to give me more anyway This hotel gave luxury vibes and I love that If I ever stay in this area again, I’m definitely booking this hotel again!

Islam Kandil

The staff is awesome Kelli ( operation manager) and Heather were very nice and helpful Kelli was great talking and explaining and recommending beaches and places to visit

Heather was very nice and accommodating My daughter got locked out of the room and went to get a key and Heather was very nice and joked with her about it They made us in couple of interactions feel comfortable and welcomed Also to be fair all the staff were very friendly ( unfortunately I can’t remember all of their names) All in all very good experience

Amanda Timmermeyer

We received excellent care from Kelli at checking in We were headed home from vacation with a 21 hour drive ahead of us and had car trouble and had no where to go with 4 kids She let us check in before check in time and had a room available

She let us know of the pool and stuff within walking distance to keep the kids entertained while waiting for our car to be worked on Best hotel service hands down!

The room was fine although the shade on the door to the balcony needs repair

Nice, clean hotel Up to date amenities, very large room with kitchenette Hotel is in a beautiful neighborhood and there are 2 very good restaurants in the same plaza

The only thing we didn’t care for was the very soft bed which left us both with sore lower backs, you actually have to struggle to get out of the bed There is no breakfast offered but there is a very good diner in the same plaza

I don’t know why this place is rated as a “2-star hotel” because it’s so much better! I stayed here for 7 days and it was a good experience Kim at the front desk was so personable and warm, & I felt reassured that I had made a good choice She shared details about the property based on where my room would be, and even called to check if I was comfortable a few hours after I settled in

Every interaction with her after that was consistently friendly & pleasant My room was well maintained and very clean The A/C worked with zero issues and the WiFi was high speed connection Where do you get top-notch service like that at a “2-star hotel”?The pool & hot tub was sparkling clean, grounds well kept, housekeepers always around, no garbage left in the outside bins for long etc anywhere The spacious pool & gazebo area was actually one of the nicest I’ve seen at a hotel You can lounge around and not be on top of everyone elseI’d definitely stay here again

Isaac Small

Preface: I don’t often write good reviews For a more entertaining review you may look at others which I have writtenThis is a place where the trash cans are never full

The room was clean when I got there and the AC was cold When the AC quit working the maintenance man was knocking on my door within 10 minutes to swap it out… an ordeal which was over in 5 minutes The Concierge, Andrew, works until midnight and claims to be the maintenance supervisor, but he will tell you where to go and what to eat if you ask him It’s hard to find someone so committed to a hotel that they have worked there 20 years but Andrew has and it shows I once saw him swap out a refrigerator after 11pm after a guest complaint I heard rumors that the pool is excellent, the hot tub is world class and the free breakfast is one of the best but I never tried any of that What I found amazing is Ginger Ale in both vending machines and a vending machine with ICE CREAM The diner next door, Lenny’s, also deserves a visit The best part of the room is the patio, but the towels are also fluffy

Dorothea Burkot

I travelled solo and I loved the service at this hotel! It was clean, and you have everything you need in this hotel where it includes breakfast! I really liked, and there was fresh water infused with fruits that was made everyday! It is close to everything! I felt safe staying here I definitely will return! I do recommend this hotel

Great resort for a family with kids although the rooms are a little on the older side All the people are very friendly and professional You’ve got tennis, golf, and several small pools with an overall relaxing environment

There’s a driving range next to the main clubhouse by the South course We played South, Island and Copperhead courses – and the club services team moves your equipment around to each course ahead of time Super efficient!

Ursula Cunningham

This place was spectacular!!! I didn’t get to enjoy the 6 pools, nor golfing but we will be going back in October The room was very nice, it was like home away from home We had a kitchen, living area, nice room and the bathroom was very nice as well

Going back to the kitchen, it had all the appliances and dishware needed to cook I thank God for my husband, for picking out a wonderful place for the second part of our vacation! ❤️❤️❤️

I felt like a prisoner in my very expensive rental Innisbrook would benefit from issuing a pool pass for guests, especially those who spend over $100 at a restaurant built right next to the pool Perhaps a lower membership package, temporary, allows pool(s) or pool Honestly you are accosted if you go in the pool as a renter and are forced to exit It is scary I spent 8 days inside taking occasional walks and ordering in I came to watch golf and go in the pool, considering there are several Are no pools for guests? ugh Sorry I feel like I wasted money that could have been avoided had management addressed the concerns of several guests who posted prior I am not spending thousands of dollars to take a dip It is ludicrous

We had a great experience at this hotel The place was clean and modern They were a bit small for a family of four though

Every employee was friendly and welcoming The location is great with many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance We loved that the beach chairs were always available and no shortage of those That process and the ease of getting one is to be commended We fully expected to have to go claim them early and that is not necessary unless you want one in the first row The complimentary towel process was a breeze and made going to the beach or pool all the easier The pool area was nice but too small, a bigger pool and more shaded seating would have been preferred but overall it was a good experience with the pool The resort pool bar was great, the food was outstanding as were the various frozen drinks, etc i just think they should stay open later and have some live music at night, I think this is an opportunity being missed by the resort Overall, this was better that expected and we hope to return in the future! 🙂

Let’s begin with the beautiful resort it is clean and absolutely beautiful We were impressed with all of the complimentary personal items, bottles of water and chocolate upon night time turn down of your bed The pool is heated and very inviting

A free drink card and everyday events offered by the resort The staff is very pleasant and welcoming as if you were home The beach is just across the street and with a stay you get an umbrella and 2 lounge chairs or for a small fee of 10 dollars upgrade to a cannabis cover and 2 lounge chairs These lounge chairs are very comfortable,just relax under the sun and take a nice nap We were so impressed with the resort and wonderful restaurants you do not want to go home I can honestly say this was the best time I have had in a very long time Do yourself a favor and come and have the most wonderful experience ever, you won’t regret it I can not wait to come back I am very impressed the staff who was so calming and the resort is very relaxingA very happy and satisfied customer, Pamela Walsh

My husband and I spent our honeymoon week here and it was amazing! I read some reviews and was skeptical but it was wonderful The room and hotel were very clean The staff was very welcoming and always friendly

The valet were very quick and helpful The pool area was relaxing and the bar had wonderful food! So many shops and restaurants within walking distance! If you book any of the boat rides the dock is across the street from the hotel! Included in the resort fee is the towels for the pool and the chairs on the beach which was nice! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and will most definitely return in the future!!

Opal Sands Resort is a nice hotel with a great view Most of the staff is friendly and willing to do whatever they can to please, but I felt the front desk employee who checked us in didn’t provide a warm welcome Each day we walked by the front desk would ignore us unless we directly approached them

Many avoided eye contact which I felt was odd? A smile goes a long way I do wish there was an adult only pool here as one day the pool was shut down twice for an hour within a few hours because of a kid having an accident in the pool They could also be better about keeping non-guests out of the pool area but I’m sure that’s a challenge they face daily I like that they have cold bottled water available but the snacks and daily fresh cookies (that weren’t there) are a let down for such an expensive hotel Drinks are on the more expensive side but poolside service is good Food at the hotel is okay Room was nice and quiet, beautiful views, comfy beds There is definitely room for improvement here with guest experience, but because of the view and location I would probably return

This resort is beautiful! The beds were comfortable and the pillows were so fluffy! The room was beautifully decorated and the view was breathtaking! We ordered room service and it was wonderful! The staff was so cheerful and friendly! The food was always delicious! The hotel is walking distance to so many fun things and wonderful food! Highly recommend!

Every room at this resort has a beautiful view of the gulf and the beach too which is great!Had a great stay here and would recommend to anybody coming to the area!

Hotel is good location if you’re needing to be by the airport but a bit run down Smelled of mold and visible mold in the lobby (and air ducts) Hallways were extremely warm and AC in room could not keep up

Faucet in room was also loose, to the point of falling over Only stayed one night and four times within an hour, housekeeping knocked on the door, tried to enter the room, and called the room asking when we were leaving This was all after they tried to enter at 9am (without knocking) and we told them we had already gotten late check out (noon) Obviously we felt rushed out Additionally, breakfast was supposed to be included in our reservation but we were told it was not We were also double charged for parking (once on room bill and again at the pay station) Pool was nice with view of the bay but unfortunately industrial exhaust fans blow right next to the cafe/pool so it’s extremely loud Made it impossible to enjoy the pool/bar/view Only bright spot was that check in process was easy Absolutely would not return

Choice this location despite the many negative reviews, hoping that they ( reviewers) were somehow in the older section of the hotel and just had a bad experience It would only be for 1 night before moving downtown to the Embassy Suites Driving up, you can quickly see that there is nothing near the hotel as far as restaurants or activity

It looks like you’re driving through an office park Upon driving further you can see that the location is beautifully situated on the river That’s where the good stuff ends This hotel looks dated from the exterior, and it gets worse once you enter The lobby area is sad,dirty and dated The desk clerk seemed to be put out by me checking in There was no line whatsoever But she appeared to change her tune after finding out that I was a Hilton diamond member She immediately upgraded us to a room with a sunset view I felt hopeful that my wife would somehow be okay with my hotel pick I should have stopped here because the lobby had that old smell to it After getting the luggage and heading inside to our room, I could see the sour look on her face After getting into a dirty elevator, the look got worse Upon reaching our floor we were greeted by a dark hallway and dingy carpeting We had to weave our way around the two housekeeping carts to get to our doormind youthis is probably 6pm Upon getting inside the room, we immediately knew we couldn’t stay It was dark, old, dated and smelled musty We didn’t touch anything and immediately went down stairs to checkout and request our Hilton points back It took us an hour or two to find somewhere to lay our heads that night We ended up at a very nice Marriott property a few miles away No issues thankfully

Front desk and housekeeping ONLY-were friendly and helpful Parking was easy-pool was nice-beautiful view Now the reason for 2 stars-pool bar service were complete losers

Didn’t know to make a simple margarita! Not quick to serve and huge worthless attitude Any shift-any day Drinks were way overpriced Cafe breakfast was par however-the staff was marginal at best I spilled orange juice all over the table and floor accidentally-and I was the one who cleaned it up after three attempts to get staff help -then he finally came out with a dry hand towel and lightly brushed over the floor-the sticky table got nothing!! Lunch n dinner menu was marginal and the food was horrible with “can’t be bothered” service A complete joke for a restaurant The room-beds uncomfortable and the noise of the a/c was extremely loud The carpet was soaking wet in one corner: the solution was to bring a giant fan? That sounded like we were in an airport hanger cranking up a jet engine Why they couldn’t have moved us is beyond me The soap in the packaged supplies was like a plastic disc that never lathered up -I wasn’t sure if I was getting soap or not when I washed my hands

First Customer service was great super polite and very attentive As it got closer to our stay I read so many negative reviews Even for the most smallest thing

We checked in May 22-May 29,2022 We had a great stay It was roomy enough room was clean and smelled clean everything was stocked beds were made Hotel looked amazing The only problem I had was I was on third floor and the website stated it was a smoke free hotel but a few people on third floor was going against the rules those people need to respect others Health especially kids Breakfast was the normal Cheese omelet sausage patty or little breakfast sandwiches muffins toast cereal oatmeal bagels People complained about the carpets yes they need new carpet For sure but clean hotel other than that such a great stay I would totally stay again

Barbie Vining

I want to say this was an amazing experience The entire staff was very accommodating and helpful I had stayed for 11 days had to add a second room for additional family coming in for my father’s funeral and they took great care of us

Thank you so very much This staff helped me during this very trying time I wish I had all of your names From gals at front desk, gal that worked breakfast to house keeping Thank you!!!

Lily B

A decent hotel, comfy bed, AC working, nice pool and friendly front desk peoplePros: breakfast served early between 6a-9a I wished it stayed open until 10a

Scrambled eggs, sausages, breads, individually wrapped waffles, cinnamon rolls, individually wrapped bacon sandwiches, fruits, cereal, oatmeal, juices, coffee served every morning Terrific spread to fill you up and start the dayCons: No luck trying to get an ice bucket, apparently, they ran out, so had to settle for using a plastic bag for iceNo freezer section in the refrigerator

For the price the hotel was great The customer service was good Whenever we requested something from the front desk, the staff would call your room to confirm you received what you needed

I loved having a laundry room that you could use a debit/credit card for and not have to worry about getting cash The view is amazing, we had the bay side view The room is spacious and it was convenient to have a full size kitchen and bedroom that is separate and private from the living room area We love the ability to go for a swim at 7am while having a drink at the pool The grills were a plus as wellI gave 4 stars for several reasons but mainly due to the room not being cleaned very well I did address this with the front staff and they sent someone to clean the area we were the most unhappy with The pool towels are limited so I would recommend bringing your own The room could definitely use some updating and we were a little disappointed because the pictures shown on their website looked betterRecommendations for the hotel is to put larger trash cans in the kitchen, add brooms/ mops in the rooms (Especially because we stayed 8 nights), make sure enough toiletries are provided based on the length of stay, purchase more linens, and update the rooms (The tub had peeling paint, furniture outdated and beat up, and cracked flooring)Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return

Crissy Knight

Overall loved everything about this place!! Atmosphere is great Much quieter than expected Being on the 3rd floor we heard no one above or below us

The pull out couch was very comfortable, happily surprised Our only real complaint, and it’s gross Actual dirty dishes were in the cupboard Easy fix we just washed anything and everything before we used it

Jennifer V.

Went for a weekend getaway for sun, a pool and water view This place did all that The grounds are beautiful and well kept

The poolside restaurant had super hardworking and friendly staff; food and drinks were great Pool area was small and could use more chairs as they are filled up really early The hotel itself is outdated but clean overall and had everything we needed We did request toilet paper and towels twice and never received them, but when our TV broke a maintenance worker showed up very quickly Unfortunately the free shuttle bus is very unreliable; upon arrival after waiting an hour and half at the airport we took a cab And upon departure we reserved it for 10am and it was about 40 minutes late, which caused a panic as we had a flight to make Over this is a great place for quick stay for some sun and fun!
