We showed up around 6 in the afternoon just to check in an drop stuff off in the room, when we walked in it was really hot in there an the ac was on high but barely blowing, so I decided to go back to the office to let them know about it an they said they would have the maintenance go check it, so we left to enjoy the rest of the day and around midnight we cake back to find the room exactly the same hot, went back to the office an lady I had talked to was already gone, so the lady that was there told me that there were no rooms available to move me to so I told her I would need my money back so I could go elsewhere, so when I asked for my money back they sure did have a room available quick, we moved are stuff to the new room an it was the same way, by that time it was 3:45 in the morning, so I was real tired an they didn’t have no more rooms available so I didn’t sleep for the rest of the night, plus we had to be at dolphin docks at 7 for a fishing trip, I strongly recommend for no one to waste their time an money at that place

The rooms are very old. If you’re looking for a bed and a closed door then this is your spot. Otherwise, it’s in poor condition. Breakfast was fine. Typical continental. Do not rent a cart from here. Out of six carts, only one had a beach pass on it. No Bluetooth or speakers. Spend the extra money and go somewhere else.

The place is pretty gross. There was a bloody booger on the inside of the shower curtain, the towels had stains on them, toothpaste on the walls (at least I hope it was toothpaste), and the door was badly broken like someone got angry in a fight or something. The mattress on one bed felt just like the springs while the other mattress was comfortable but the sheets were put on inside out. I guess you get what you pay for but I felt very gross being in that room. The girl up front was not very friendly either but that was the least of my worries.

Didn’t Match the Photos — Needs Major Upkeep . We booked based on the photos showing bright blue walls and updated rooms, what we got looked nothing like that. The room was older, plain, and in clear need of maintenance. Check-in was quick, but they charged the first night a day early and added a $100 hold for incidentals at the desk. When we got to the room, the TV wasn’t even plugged in, and after a few trips to the front desk to get help, it finally worked, though it had a constant buzzing echo. The bathroom had visible water damage and mold near the shower, with sloppy caulking. Towels were folded nicely but looked dingy, not fresh. The bed was hard, and even though we booked a double, we only got one bed. The pool was tiny and had sketchy-colored water, and we skipped the free breakfast since it looked limited and unappetizing. Overall, staff were polite, but the property needs a serious refresh,cleaner rooms, maintenance, and more accurate photos of what guests can actually expect.
