We loved it and will more than likely be back for another stay in the future
Pros:

The property is right on the beach and it is a beautiful view. The pool was very nice as well! The room setup we had was just like a little apartment. It was lovely! We were lucky enough to witness some dolphins playing from our balcony! The restaurant on the pool deck was incredible and priced fair, delicious food!!! All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Maybe the only thing we didn’t like about the property was that you could hear doors slamming above you off and on during our stay (4th floor) but it really wasn’t unbearable. (May have just been some younger kids not realizing how hard the door was shutting) The hot tub wasn’t working while we were there which was a little bit of a bummer but, things happen!

Vacation will still recommend for pool beach and money value .
Pros:

The pool was lots of fun loved the beach view

Cons:

We have stayed here at least 4 times this time the bed killed my back not sure if we just got a bad room or what . I had requested a higher floor months out the 2nd floor is no where near a high floor and never had this problem in the past .

Pros:

Location, Bar and vibes

Cons:

The cleanest of the hotel I saw a few baby roaches ,when taking a shower the pipes shook really hard, these so-called headboards that are attached to the wall need to be disinfected & wiped down. The two chairs they came with the table that’s inside of the room were old and look horrible. One of the chairs on the balcony were broke the table thats on the balcony is dirty.

Good value for the location
Pros:

It was ocean front view on the gulf. The staff was friendly
There was a full fridge.

Cons:

The unit we stayed in needed some updates and a refresh.
The light in the bathroom was like a work shop light
Elevators were slow.
Hot tub broken the time we were there.
Pool wasn't heated.
Tiki bar played the music so loud you could hear it at the beach. Not good for relaxing by the pool or hot tub.
Also rental chairs outside the hotel were 40 plus per day to rent.

Pros:

I did like that the hotel was on the beach and had a full kitchen.

Cons:

I did not like that the front desk rep didnt program my key to my room so I had to go bk down stairs twice during my stay for my key. I didn't like that the hot tub wasn't working. Also the last night of our stay the toilet got stopped up. I did not like parking off site. Parking lot is small and across the street.

We come back to Beachcomber for location & we like the short walk to the Ocean.
Pros:

location was perfect -Karen is great at the front desk.

Cons:

Wish there was a breakfast served - so we didn't have to leave every morning to go eat.
Our fitted sheet for the bed didn't fit - but we made due.

Pros:

Views, hotel room, balcony, bar.

Cons:

Room was dirty (floors and bathroom). The biggest issue is had was the Sprinklers. I stayed four nights. Parked in four different spots three of which my car was covered in sprinkler water. Which is horrible for cars paint. I had to spend 60$ at the beach carwash before the spots ruined my paint. Thats bullshit !
