The resort was really nice. The main pool was very big and warm!!! The beach area was nice with plenty of lounge chairs, large chess game, ping pong, and bags (our favorite). The tiki bar was great to lunch and dinner! You can also rent paddle boards and jet skis. We had a two bedroom ocean view villa. The space worked great for our family, and was very close to all the resort activities. The rooms are a bit dated and could use a refresh.

The beach is disgusting full of dead fish and sea weed. I have text messages from the property landscaping comes during the week to clean the beach so if you are staying for a weekend be prepared to be disappointed. We pay more for a weekend and weren’t even able to use the beach.

Just okay

Overall best I can say is “okay”. Wish I’d known what it was really like. The property is nice, but not nice enough to justify the cost or to measure up to their advertising. The “beach” is mostly sand/rock retaining wall/grassy water. One small area is zero entry to walk in but that area is rather small and filled with floating sea grass more than not. There are some games set up on the sand and rentals for kayak and seadoo pwc. Note rental in that- you pay extra for any water equipment! Outdoor pools and gardens are nice. The “villas” aren’t individual structures or even very private. They are two-story row condos with balconies that are side by side and no privacy between them. Our main TV didn’t work. Kitchen has minimal supplies. Living room has basic beach condo furniture, one couch and one chair. Bedrooms are tiny! The master bath is minimum code size for a basic tub/shower, toilet and single sink. There isn’t actually any spa on property, just an older lady or two who will come to your room and set up a table. Those services are also overpriced for extent of service. Just don’t expect a luxury boutique property once you get past the main lobby.

No beach as advertised

This resort advertised a beach. So wanted to go swimming in the gulf. That is why I took the $500. Room rate with a grain of salt. Well beach was a shambles. Talked to a few other residents and they said they made a slight attempt to clean but did not really try. When you advertise a beach and it gets messed up you hire professional help and equipment if you are expecting the amount of daily charges you are charging. I would have stayed a second day but they didn’t even make an attempt to clean the beach of the debris that was present. They gave me a $50.00 credit on a $500. Daily charge. Big Deal!

Subject: Feedback on Our Stay – March 14-16, 2025 Dear Tranquility Bay Resort Team, We recently stayed at your resort from March 14-16, 2025, and wanted to share our feedback. Overall, we appreciated the quiet and somewhat clean environment. However, there were a few aspects of our stay that could be improved: 1. Limited Dining Options – We found the breakfast and on-site dining options to be quite limited, which made meal planning inconvenient. More variety would enhance the guest experience. 2. Swimming Area Concerns – Unfortunately, the swimming area had an unpleasant smell, making it uncomfortable to sit around and enjoy the waterfront. Additionally, a significant amount of seaweed had accumulated, which made the area less inviting. We hope this feedback helps in improving future guest experiences. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Great for families, not so much for couples. Staff is surly, at best. Closed the restaurant in the mornings so sit down breakfast is not an option. Dining in the room is not easy as there is no table. Single rooms lack a closet, merely hooks on the wall. Room was not very nice: broken toilet lever, bathroom cabinet knob broken, etc. Nothing major but at these prices one expects more. Claims to be a resort and charges a resort fee but then charges extra for everything- kayaks, etc.

Very nice family oriented. Very expensive with limited extras included. Only two places to eat at the resort. Tranquility was recommended for us but on hind sight I would keep looking for cheaper. Very limited area for ocean swimming. If sharing expenses maybe look at it. If you can afford $$$ then go for it.
