The staff was rude and the hotel was alright. Your just paying for beach access.
Pros:

They offer a breakfast place, that absolutely sucks. Breakfast is not included.

Cons:

I hung all my clothes and towels on the balcony I guess the maids use bleach and push it off. Well here I am with bleached t shirts now.

I give it a A- for overall stay, I’d give the hired help a B- at best
Pros:

Beach front and beach/ocean view was great.

Cons:

Housekeeping was hit/miss. They were late cleaning and stocking the room with fresh towels, coffee and etc. and one day they didn’t bring any coffee or cups at all and we had to get coffee from the front desk and cups from a different housekeeper down the hall.

Bad service!!
Pros:

I do not recommend!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!
We arrived at 11pm from a long trip and once I went to bed. I found a bed bug in the bed I told the front desk person I even took it to him and he confirmed it was. So I ask to change my room he said no i needed to leave that that’s there policy. Mind you it was 2am where was I going to find a hotel room at that time no where. So I had to stay in a Publix parking lot worst experience ever and service was awful!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Will come back again next year! Upgrade your WIFI and TVs please!
Pros:

Beach access was perfect and the Gulf view rooms are worth it!! I feel like we got our first beach side hotel experience we were hoping for.

Cons:

More Amenities would be nice. Everything was upgraded in the bathroom except the tub/shower. Also the TV is not a smart TV... we bring a roku with us when we travel for this reason in case the hotels not upgraded, but the Internet and wifi is very bad. Can't even connect to the wifi and watch reels.

Disappointing
Pros:

Several amenities on the property.

Cons:

After returning from dinner one evening, we found a large amount of water covering the tile floor in our condo. It was enough to create a serious slip-and-fall hazard, so we called the front desk. Maintenance arrived but never introduced himself, never entered the room, and never even looked at the floor. From the doorway, he simply told us to lower the thermostat because it was “condensation.”
I spoke with the manager, who explained that they recommend keeping the thermostat between 66–68 degrees due to Florida’s humidity. While I appreciate the explanation, this information was never provided at check-in or posted anywhere in the condo. We had the thermostat set at 70 degrees, which most guests would consider a reasonable temperature.
The manager did offer to move us to another room, but it was already bedtime, and she assured us lowering the thermostat would solve the problem, so we chose to stay.
My biggest concern is guest safety. The amount of water on the floor was far more than what I would describe as normal condensation, and someone could have easily slipped and fallen. If maintaining a specific thermostat setting is necessary to prevent this, guests should be informed before it becomes a safety issue. I also believe maintenance should inspect reported problems rather than diagnosing them from the doorway.
I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.
