Pros:

Jimmy Bs is fantastic and I loved being right on the beach.
The room was uncomfortable and humid. They need new beds, very stiff and unpleasant. They were doing construction and I couldn’t get the room I wanted because of it and I didn’t find out until check in.

I’ve stayed here many times. This visit, the rooms smelled of mildew so badly it was unbearable. There is construction going on so hopefully they are working on a much needed renovation?

Pros:

First off the staff was great, everyone we encountered was super friendly and helpful. The location is amazing! The direct beach access is why we booked.

There is a good deal of construction/renovations currently happening right now. So if peaceful quiet in your room durning the day is important, then you might skip here until the renovations are complete. The food on property was ok, nothing special, but the music at night was super fun.

Overall, I'd stay again due to the staff and location. The rooms are ok, again nothing special, but met our needs for our 5 night stay.

Pros:

The property needs a lot of work both outside and in the rooms. They are doing construction on the outside of the hotel. I asked the front desk when they are going to redo the rooms. His response was they were redone 3 years ago. The rooms were pretty disgusting. We had to put towels on the couch to cover the stains. We’ve stayed here about 6 years ago and remember it to be a lot nicer.

Pros:

The Beachcomber provides a great beach location on soft sand that lacks the sharp shell pieces that are left by beach renourishment. The native plants leading to the beach are beautiful and protective. The buildings are two story, with a nice garden area between and have been partially renovated to a fresh decor. The larger pool is a perfect size for real laps and the smaller one a good option for separation if the large one is crowded. The rooms are spacious and clean I wish smoking had not been allowed in the area directly outside of them.from a crowd that

Pros:

Property was under construction and construction noise started between 7 & 8 am every morning. Construction was right outside of the pool area with noise from workers and jack hammers all day. Construction was not noted on the website nor did anyone make us aware this would be going on. The first notice of this was upon walking in the building to check in. I feel the resort purposefully is not making people aware so they do not lose business. In the meantime all they have is unhappy guests that will not return. This was not the relaxing vacation we were hoping for and have had at others resorts in the area.

Pros:

The lobby was very nice. The rooms need to be renovated. The sofa bed was gross. I wouldn't sit on it. The wall in the room was damaged. Hair in the bathroom, sink did not drain well. The bar staff was wonderful!! The room, next to the bar was what we asked for. The pictures made it look like we were over looking a courtyard. We were not. We were looking directly at the back of the service entrance to the bar. They were bringing carts of booze and equipment back and forth by our room. I planned to listen to music all night but not to hear the carts at 4am and again in the morning.
