Overall it was okay
Pros:

The closeness to the beach and the ladies at the front desk everyone was very friendly

Cons:

The housekeeper on the last day was rushing us to get out so he could clean the room an hour before our check out time.Our room didn’t have an ice bucket or a do not disturb sign so we had to walk to the front to get one…

Great trip
Pros:

We loved being on the first level right on the beach! We also enjoyed the patio/sitting area. The walk from our room to the ocean wasnt long we were right there! The beds were comfortable too!

Cons:

My only 2 complaints there wasnt a full length mirrior in our room and considering we were on the beach level I feel like brooms should be in every room. I believe our room had a full length mirror at one time so its totally understandable if something happened to it. These were 2 very minor things everything else was great!

Great time, good staff, no problems!
Pros:

I loved how close everything was and it was kept cleaned around outside areas, always saw staff working doing their job and not disturbing everyone. Front desk ladies were fantastic to us!

Cons:

The only issue we had was our floors were not swept when house keeping came, we had to go buy one there was sand all over our balcony and floor because of no sweeping, very easy fix for us!

We do love the value of Chateau . We may look at other properties owned by By the Sea Resorts for next year.
Pros:

Our view was awesome that’s why we keep coming back. I look forward to continued improvements. We saw more corporate people around this time. New pool loungers and umbrellas were nice too.

Cons:

Our unit wasn’t very clean when we arrived and the air conditioner struggled all week. The fridge was not in the kitchenette and the tv wasn’t center to the 2 queen beds. One queen bed had to look over the fridge to see tv.
