Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, providing plenty of space for my family of five. Although an extra trash can would have been convenient, the cleanliness was impeccable. The service, especially from the Holiday Inn Club Vacations staff, was fantastic, and the kitchen and cleaning staff were incredibly attentive. The location was ideal for relaxation, with two pools, a lazy river, and a hot tub right on the beach. However, the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy. The dining experience offered outstanding choices, though it came at an extra cost and had limited hours. Overall, the hotel provided excellent value for money.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were modern and fresh, offering clean and comfortable accommodations. The hotel's service was top-notch, with exceptionally attentive staff. The location was perfect, providing easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The dining options were outstanding, offering a nice variety of choices.
The hotel provided a mix of experiences. The rooms were clean and modern-looking, albeit not cheap, offering a spacious and clean atmosphere with wonderful views. However, the service seemed to be the slowest I've ever experienced, and there were some rude and inattentive staff. The location was amazing right on the beach, with lovely amenities like a lazy river, but it lacked some stocked items. The dining experience varied from bland and boxed to being wonderful, especially for children. Overall, a hotel with highs and lows.
