Pros:

The apartment was lovely and well equipped with ceiling fans in each room if you didn’t want air con all night
One small issue on arrival with a blocked toilet which was sorted quickly
On another note we were warned noise may continue to at least September but it still very much ongoing and noisy early in the moring

Pros:

Staff was very friendly. There were no rooms on the first floor, they were all being remodeled. No elevator to the 2nd floor. Was a little rough getting up and down the stairs from recent back surgery. The room was clean except for under the beds and around the molding on the refrigerator. Overall it was a nice place and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Pros:

A great place for off season relaxation. They are still recovering from the storms last year but you can see them hard at work to bring it back. The pool area needed attention as it wasn’t as clean around the pool as I would’ve liked and a girl got stuck in the bathroom and fire dept had to be called to get her out, there were no staff on premises as far as we could tell. They just hadn’t addressed the door issue even tho they knew about it. We were there a week and when we were running out of toilet paper we asked for more and got the third degree and felt like maybe we should have gone and bought our own. The air conditioning worked great and we were quite comfortable in our room. I will recommend this place but it would be better if they had more attentive and present staff

Pros:

Loved the resort fishing dock. The pool was so relaxing and beautiful. Our condo was clean and kitchen had everything needed. Laundry on site. Directly acreage from the beach. Very quiet, however they are still recovering from the Hurricane last year and all downstairs units are not available and being worked on. It was an overall perfect stay.

Pros:

We had family staying at Barefoot Beach for a surprise birthday. The apartment was very updated. The kitchen was prepared and very well thought out and even had an air fryer. Very clean and pristine bath towels. We love and utilized the pool ever day and walked the beach in the mornings. Natures bonus gave incredible sunsets. Will come again and recommend to others. Thank you!

We loved the hotel!
Pros:

My family and I really enjoyed the hotel!
It`s close to the beach, has a nice pool, and a great barbecue area. We liked everything! We`ve stayed here twice already and hope to come back again.
We only had two complaints: the apartment we stayed in was very dusty, under the bed, there was a bag with a cup of instant noodles and the bed with iron legs was quite noisy, and the mattress wasn`t very comfortable.

Pros:

We had a great stay at Barefoot Beach resort in a two bedroom unit. It was perfect for our group of four, which included three teenagers. The property is not beachfront, but is located directly across the street from the beach. Our unit had a full kitchen and included everything we could’ve possibly needed to cook full meals, which we did. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay at Indian Shores

Excellent location across the road from a fantastic beach. Great bars and restaurants nearby and others accessible using the trolley bus that stops outside every 30 mins.

Pros:

I loved our room. Loved how our condo was a 2 bedroom. There was ample space to move around in and to cook in. I slept great and so did my children. There was an supply of beach chairs and pool noodles. The resort leaves a good starter supply of what you need such as dish soap, dishwasher soap and coffee things. I loved how close it is to the beach! It made things a lot easier as a family. The only drawback is it would be beneficial to have blinds that block out more light. My husband had trouble sleeping due to the brightness. We will be back!

Pros:

It was pretty bad. Walked in and had to clean the bathroom. Hair everywhere. Had an old unit. A/C was old and musty. The springs in the pullout bed stuck out. I mean, just really really really bad experience.

Pros:

The place would be nice once it's refurbished wasn't real happy about walking up two flights of steps but that's okay I understand. I'll come back anytime specially after renovations are completed
Thank You

Pros:

Shockingly bad. The mattress of the bed was broken. The whole groundfloor block about 20 units had builders working which meant builders dust everywhere outside. Apartment had a dirty mat and entrance, furniture was old and dirty looking. We stayed here before four years ago and it was quite pleasant. Now would never return . Beyond shockingly
bad. Left after one of two nights.

Pros:

It was a very good location, right across the street from the beach. Pool was nice too. Ladies in the office were very accommodating. The bed was not very comfortable. Also, we pulled out the couch bed. We did not use it. Looked very uncomfortable.
