This resort is so clean, comfortable and beautiful
Pros:

Found my new favorite place to stay in Madeira Beach! Checked in to Barefoot Beach Club for spring break in late March. We were able to get in to our room a little early, we left our bags and head straight to the beautiful pool area-we were so happy with this resort! The two bedroom condo was so clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay! The beach was fantastic it was hard to decide if we should sit by the pool or beach each day. We also loved how close we were to John's Pass, for shopping, live music and dinning.

Very nice place for this price
Pros:

Beach is awesome and we loved our oceanview balcony

Cons:

Didn't go in the hot tub as there were usually too many kids in it which is discouraging. Also, I wish they would have had the music on in the pool area the whole time we were there instead of just the last day or two. It adds a bit of resort-feel with music playing. And they could get a little better pool towels as they were super thin and not soft.

Looking forward to the rooftop bar opening hopefully next year as that provides amazing views and would be a nice added feature to this hotel.

Great time on the beach and by the pool. Wish the rooftop was open to the bar.
Pros:

On the beach, and good walking distance to shopping and food.

Cons:

Room could have been a little more clean. Under beds and dresser should be cleaned after every stay. Did get bitten every night by something in the room.

Perfect location!
Pros:

Location to the beach.
2 pools.
All staff were kind, helpful and professional.
Seeing dolphins swim by every morning, and watching the sun set every evening.
I loved the jacuzzi!

Cons:

The room smelled musty.
The pull-out couch wasn't very comfortable.
The refrigerator was too small.
The only ice maker was located on the 2nd floor. That was inconvenient.
There is a sign on the jacuzzi that kids have to be 18 yrs. old, however it was not inforced.

Loved the location and would return if the above mentioned issues were resolved.
Pros:

Loved the location and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Pool was overcrowded and very noisy after hours (despite rules stating that it closed at 9pm). Other resort rules were not enforced (ex- resort facility was supposed to be smoke free however we couldn’t even sit on our balcony due to neighbors smoking weed).
