I would like to give a special Shoutout to Stevie D's. It is truly a hidden gem in Milton and is…read moresuch a great spot to have any type of event you are looking to have. Most importantly I want to recognize Jeannie who simply went above and beyond to make sure that I had the best retirement party after 23 years of faithful service in the U.S Navy! Too many times people just want to take your money and are nowhere to be found when you need them for your event. She was NEVER like that, she always wanted to make sure that we had EVERYTHING we needed to have a great party! If you ever are looking to have a party, you would be foolish to do it anywhere else!

We stayed here right after Memorial Day. The 1st night, 2 of the 3 elevators were not working…read more 10-15 minute waits for elevators with people packed in like sardines. Up & down 11 floors, it was terrible. BUT, they fixed one of them the next day, so we were grateful for that. Lots of families & children. The pool area was awesome, with 2 hot tubs, 2 pools, lazy river, hammock area, 2 fire pits, music playing, and a bar/resaturant that overlooks the beach. Walking on the beach at night was amazing, and having a hotel where the area stays open after dark was an awesome vibe. Breakfast was included, and it varied each day. It was delicious; very busy in the mornings. Hotel is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, the pier, ice cream, bars, etc. Room was very clean and had a beautiful balcony view. My only complaint about the room was super flat down pillows. Like pancakes. We had to request 2 extra pillows. Would definitely stay again!
