I came here for a friend's birthday celebration that was outside by the pool. The outside looked really nice. They have a full bar. read more

Decided to book this adorable spot last minute... after we landed! Perfect stay for a quick two night trip and some football at the hard rock stadium. Loved the room, the pool, the bar and it's a two minute walk to the strip and beach. We can't wait to come back! read more

This place is adorable! Loved the old school Florida vibe. It's very quaint and cozy. The pool area has a fabulous bar and restaurant. The staff is wonderful and super friendly. Raphael the bar tender is delightful. It's clear that the resort is in the older side. It's a little run down is some aspects like the bathrooms. They need a little TLC. Great location within a block to the ocean front. Plenty of cute little cafes within walking distance. While I didn't feel unsafe at all, there are no locks on the inside of the hotel room door which is odd. There are many gates throughout the property too. The gates to the street aren't locked either. Again, I didn't feel unsafe but worthy of noting. If you like to sleep late or nap, this hotel probably isn't for you. You can hear everything. Foot steps, voices, door slamming, etc. Overall the hotel is extremely clean and I would stay again. read more

- Well people, where should I begin on this review!!! Came to the Royal Palms Resort & Spa in Ft Lauderdale with great expectations from the website write up and photos!!! But reality is something completely different, the rooms aren't modern and clean but damp, humid and dirty looking!!! The bathroom needs a renew, mold on the tiles, guessing from no vent system and the dampness of the room!!! The bed comfortable but if you like sleeping in damp sheets it's perfect, but not for me!!! Just couldn't get the A/C to work properly, tried different settings but no go. Had to put sheets on the floors, nothing like getting out of bed and putting your feet on damp, cold floors!!! And if you're looking for the spa, bar or fitness area, all closed till further notice. The whole website is a complete lie!!! So, final grade D, go somewhere else!!!! read more

This is a property that is well located but the front desk is manned very infrequently. When it is manned the folks there are very accommodating and friendly. But, when you have problems, as we did, with our door lock or something else, you talk to an answering service. This means some time standing outside your room door waiting for someone to come from off property to open the door for you. Since there is no phone in the room, apparently a cost saving for the property owner, you'd better have a working cell phone to use in emergencies or to call the front desk where you'll be talking to the answering service. If you want friendly, but unavailable customer service, this is the property for you. read more

Booked through Chase Rewards and wish I would have read yelp before. If you want the cheapest place to serve as a base to party from near the beach this might be for you. Otherwise you will be disappointed. The property isn't secured at all, anyone can wander in and out. The bathroom has no privacy. Aside from the small room with the toilet and shower the area with the sink has large open windows without blinds so don't be bashful. Towels were dollar store quality and the bed was very uncomfortable and we sank to the middle of the beat down mattress. No coffee anywhere on the property in the morning! There is a great place right down the street where you can have breakfast. Front desk staff was very creepy and not helpful. Stay away from this place! read more

Very clean, walking distance from the beach and town - overall a great stay - 100 percent would recommend to my family and friends read more

Royal Palms Resort - Room - Resorts Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This was my second stay at Royal Palms Resort (RPR), this one with my partner celebrating our birthdays, and about 18 months ago we hosted an out of town friend. I've also stopped by on occasions for the Sunday Funday, as well as a drink at the poolside bar, and lunch. I live north of Ft. Lauderdale, and have stayed at other gay resorts in FL and around the USA. Let me address the issue which some guys have raised regarding it being gay, gay friendly, or overrun with straights/women/families. There is no doubt that this is a gay establishment, not simply gay-friendly. While there may have been an issue in the not so distant past where guests at other hotel properties owned by the same parent company visited RPR for breakfast, that seems to have been addressed with the offering of breakfasts at the [very good] PLAZA BISTRO, a block away, also owned by the same parent company. During our 4 days there, about a week ago, we saw no families with children anywhere on the premises, not anyone who would be classified as a "gawker", (other than some guys in their 80's), but I don't think that was the group some guys were complaining about! There may have been one woman as a hotel guest, and there were 2 at the Sunday Fun-Day. Yes, it is no longer clothing optional at the pool, but it wasn't clothing optional about 18 months ago, either. And honestly, does it need to be clothing optional to allow guys to "express" themselves? Most of the really built guys were wearing speedo-type bathing suits, underwear which covered very little, or jocks. Some were so well hung, and their "swim suits/underwear" so tight, you could see the veins/rim of their dicks. Like, guys, isn't that enough? and also hot? Like come on, its not a bathhouse. OK, there is not a hot tub/jacuzzi. And while some have commented that such would be a good venue for guys to meet other guys, I saw lots of guys meeting in the pool, at the bar, at their lounges. And, no one commented on the small, but well appointed, and immaculate GYM...you can go there, pose, work-out, and meet/greet. Again, it's a hotel, boyz. LOCATION/PARKING: One block from the ocean. For awhile until construction begins, you can actually see the ocean from several rooms, as well as the bar. They have plenty of designated, safe and free parking spots. BAR/CAFE: Serves free good coffee all day. Breakfasts are really good, huge omelets, fresh fruits. Lunches include huge salads, generous sized wraps and burgers, with a variety of sides. Alcohol flows all day, bar is open on weekends till 2 AM, it gets busy at lunch and in early eves. Area to sit with tables, or eat/drink poolside. Waiter service poolside. HOUSEKEEPING/UTILITIES: In a word, outstanding. The rooms are kept immaculate throughout your stay, plenty of towels, the bed linens will be changed if you desire. Lots of hot water. Rain head showers. Open and spacious showers. DESIGN OF PROPERTY/DECOR: This is renovated 1950's style Fort Lauderdale beach 2 story hotel. Two buildings. Two pools. Two floors in each building. Lush landscaping/natural trees/private. Access rooms by a balcony. The furniture in rooms is simple, clean, Ikea-style look. The rooms are basically white/white, all furnishings white, splashes of color. No phones in rooms. Safety boxes. Yes, the AC system is a bit louder than one might like, but it did not prevent me from sleeping or otherwise chilling in the room [like how much time do you spend in your room?] SEE PHOTOS. MANAGEMENT is always on-site, is there to respond to any concerns. Is the current general manager gay? No, but does that really matter? Some staff are gay, others are not. There is a long time bartender who is so handsome/sexy/flirty all the guys love him (and many non locals assume he is gay). And yeah, he is straight. He makes great drinks, remembers your name, doesn't ignore you, and isn't that what's important? Guys, Let's try to get away from what I call "the gay ghetto mentality", where everyone we deal with needs to be gay, and if not, they are somehow less than us? Hmm, sounds like some form of discrimination to me. Yes, I know its a lengthy review, but I wanted to address some of the issues raised by others, and trued to be comprehensive. See pictures I've posted, I have not been shy showing the "feel of the place" in a variety of settings. NOTE: I have no financial interests in this establishment, do not know the owners, do not socialize with the management or staff, and did not receive any encouragement to submit this review. I'm just being as direct here as I am with all my reviews. read more

When I wrote my 5 Star review of Royal Palms Resort I used my experiences at other gay resorts as my yardstick of measurement. Now, things have totally changed around because it is no longer a gay resort hotel offering anything unique. It's just another hotel much like the hundreds of others along the beach. It's been completely "degayed." No more live DJ spinning records, no TV porn channels, no cutesy employees or surrounding atmosphere of gaiety. So now in comparing it with the other near the beach but actually over a block off the beach hotels, I can only say it's OK, nothing really special attractive or unique about it; just another one of those near the beach hotels. read more

This hotel is on my list of worst hotels I've ever stayed at. It is actually a motel for the record as the doors open to the outside. To give one star half a block from the beach makes a statement. I arrived at 9:30 at night, and the office was locked??I rang the ring doorbell and after a couple minutes a voice said that they would be there in 10 minutes. Keep in mind that directly across the street is some type of halfway home or homeless shelter type residence so there are definitely shady people hanging out right around here. The room was clean but did not have what you would expect in a hotel room. No phone, no end tables, no dresser...just a bed and cabinet containing a mini fridge and safe with the TV on the wall over it. The window AC unit was loud. Let's now talk about security: if you are a single woman, I do not recommend staying here. Except for the main entrance, all the other entrances to the building are open to the public. The locks are all broken so anyone can come in and walk up and down the hallways - The curtains barely cover the windows to the walkways and there is no interior security lock to the door. Anyone with a key can come in while you are in there. I was there on business alone and had looked for the least expensive hotel in the area that looked nice. For three nights, I was told the total cost including all taxes and fees would be $525. They charged my credit card $750 which I am contesting. I thought I was saving about $25 at night to stay here when there are so many other legit hotels in the area for just a bit more. read more

Food was great, would definitely recommend the croquettes! The staff and Juan, the owner, were personable and welcoming! Music was upbeat and atmosphere was clean and inviting! 5+ stars! read more

I'm giving them 2 stars due to the location which is great. Everything else was terrible. No 24/7 staffed front desk as advertised. Room is bland and depressing. Bathroom has nowhere to put your toiletries, pedestal sink and no shelves. (I had to put my stuff on the toilet when getting ready). No cable or satellite TV (so no networks tv or news and no local channels) No phone system in the room to reach someone. Limited staff. No hot water ( Had to wait 15 minutes for hot water in shower). No elevator. Gates have locks but they don't work. Towels were like rags. They don't even have "do not disturb" signs. And a $10 resort fee that includes ?. Someone yelped you get what you paid for. I Wish I would have gotten half of what I paid for. $225 a night for a room and properly that was worse than a Motel 6. Resort and Spa?? Please. read more

Whenever we need to stay overnight in Fort Lauderdale, we make it a point to stay at one of the properties at North Beach Village. Royal Palms is, so far, our favorite. We've stayed there many times, and we love it. The rooms are updated and clean, and the staff is extremely pleasant and eager to please. Vassety at the front desk was an absolute doll! North Beach Village is fantastic, and getting better by the day. Highly recommend! read more

Booked this resort for spring break and it was exactly what we needed. Location was great - close walking distance to beach, markets, bars, and restaurants. Rooms had everything you needed including a roku in each room with netflix, hulu, etc. However, the front desk staff was unwelcoming and we had a few dirty linens on arrival. read more

Place looked real sketchy although the rooms were pretty decent. Got bit up by bed bugs. Only plus is that it's a cheap price and down the street from the beach and good restaurants. read more

My husband and I stayed here for six nights over the New Year weekend this year. We chose Royal Palm because we had stayed there before it became part of the North Beach Village group. Unfortunately our experience was a complete disaster. Far and away the worst hotel I can ever remember. Why? First the people who work in the office were so rude and unpleasant I was amazed. Never a smile or "Can I help you?" It was a sneer and "what?" The pool was closed every day; apparently broken. On the third day I went in to ask what was up with the pool. "It's broke" she says. I had to beg for a housekeeper every day. Towels? If they brought any, it was two of the most threadbare pieces you ever saw. I could go on. Really, but you get the idea. I'll leave it at that, but save yourself a big headache. There's plenty of other choices in the neighborhood. read more

Perfect weekend at a perfect place! Stayed here for the weekend and it was amazing. I would recommend anyone to come here the bartender was amazing very attentive and friendly. The rooms were nice and comfy I would be back. read more

First room lacked any furniture, other than the bed and the TV - no desk, no couch, no armchairs. I asked and got another room of the same size but with a couch and a desk, but the next day hot water broke, so I had to move rooms again, this time to a different building. There, again only one room out of 10 we looked at had a desk, which is the one I picked. In the room where hot water stopped working, the shower faucet was difficult to operate, it was next to impossible to completely shut the water off. The shower head in all rooms is this "square" design, which only pours water down and makes it difficult to take a proper shower. On the upside, the service was OK, Wifi was fast and reliable, and they have amenities like pool and gym and plenty of parking (which is $10/day). read more

we stayed on a day pass waiting for a flight and was quite pleased at the price. the pool was well cared for and clean, only 1/2 block from the beach. think of doing a vacation here. The staff is amazing. Bar was great. read more

This use to be my favorite hotel in Lauderdale....not any more. There is no longer bartender service by the pool during the day. The back pool has a chained notice that the city has closed it. The workout room is closed and they told me there is a similar one on a sister facility several blocks away. The spa is only by request and they no longer serve breakfast by the pool. And most unfortunately, the comfortable gay vibe is pretty much gone. The hotel was bought by an investor which apparently bought up most of the block. So sad. read more

Other then the location I wouldn't recommend! No hot water! The toilet seat was broken had to be held down when using the bathroom. Not to mention checked in for a wedding. Check in is at 3 we got there at 230 told them room would be ready in 10 mins! Room wasn't ready till 345, which wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't have a wedding to get ready for with 15 mins to spare! When I asked why the rooms aren't all ready at 3 she said because people like to check out late and the house keeping doesn't speak English??? That's not an answer! It's fine they can't do early check in but to make us wait 1 hour and make us late for wedding is ridiculous! We had the biggest room the one bedroom suite the floors have burn marks in them! Management really needs to get on top of things! Will stick to brand name hotels moving forward. read more

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for her birthday...and we had a blast! Hoken and Jeff were amazing...always attentive to what we needed. Our room was brand new, you could smell the new furniture...very modern and clean, loved it! The Bloody Marys are D Lish and the bartender Andres (i believe that was his name) very nice. And finally, the Sunday tea dance is sooooo much fun...it's mostly guys but we had a blast! The boys were so much fun...Music was really good, a good music. Sooooo again...Clean/Modern Rooms, Great Location, Great Staff, Great Tea Dance on Sundays! We will definitely be back to this resort. Thanks Hoken and Jeff! read more

I have really loved our stay. I was nervous at first because the second time I called to confirm our reservation they didn't have it. They really made up for it though, kept saying my name on the phone when we got here I'm sure to let me know that they are usually more organized. I think also that it is a smaller organization and business, even though they have a few locations in the area. I enjoyed how intimate it was, got to know a regular staff, which I love. The bar is nice, seems like it must be open all the time, never saw it close. A tad pricey, but great for a first cocktail before jetting to Wilton Manors or something. It's like a $7 uber drive to Wilton Manors, which I find super reasonable, everywhere else we walked. 1 block from the beach, just a couple blocks from coffee and food! There's even a CVS close by! I would do it again, for sure. read more

Royal Palms Resort - Resorts Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

So, let's talk about the Royal Palms Resort. I've been coming here for years. Arrived to a locked door and no one answering the Ring doorbell. Called the number by the door and no answer. Sooo, after finding an open gate (great security) we found our way to the bar. My husband finally found someone to check us in. As we were unpacking we heard the innocent screaming of children frolicking in the front pool. Yah, chi-ren. They were about five to eight years old. One was sitting on a chair where I saw unmentionables happen only a year earlier. So here we are. Staying at a Howard Johnson's for my birthday weekend even though their Facebook page says "twenty-one and older". Malarkey. You lied to me and I am severely disappointed. read more

Secret gem hotel resort a block from the beach. Spacious with a separate bedroom and sitting area. So very clean with daily aid service and a fully equipped kitchenette. Lots of big luxury towels, iron, microwave and personal safe. Awesome nighttime atmosphere with a huge pool, live music and a bar. read more

my friend and I just returned from a 4 day stay at this newly renovated resort. Before i begin my critique, i must say acknowledge that The Royal Palms has not been open for too long. In fact, i believe that our stay fell only two weeks after their grand reopening. With that being said, the staff at the Royal Palm managed to exceed all of our expectations. the interior of the resort is a minimalist/sleek retreat. the exteriors of each wing are stark white and the manicured foliage adds beautiful bursts of green. pops of color come from the glossy red tile surrounding the poolside bar/restaurant and from the rainbow lights which dance along the hotel's walls nightly. our room had two nicely appointment queen beds and our bathroom featured a simple (spa-like) glass shower. the beds were surprisingly comfortable and the high powered air conditioner (along with the blackout curtains) allowed for an amazing night's sleep. our room overlooked the resort's secondary pool (away from the bar) and i'd recommend booking a room in this section of the property. i certainly love a party, but it was really nice to come home from the bars/restaurants to a quiet poolside room. since this is a clothing optional resort, you'll find a wide variety of people around the pool during the day. while 30% of the patrons chose to take it all off, most (including myself) declined. the wonderful thing about The Royal Palm is that each choice is met with the same level of professionalism. The hotel staff checked in with us regularly throughout the day but their presence was never too much. eucalyptus soaked washcloths were passed around to poolside guests every couple of hours (a wonderful touch that i haven't experienced elsewhere). there are a few things that i must suggest which would make The Royal Palm a true "must stay" resort. 1. a hot tub: my friend and i were surprised to find that the resort did not contain one. in our previous travels to gay destinations/hotels. the hot tub served as a "gathering place" which often led to conversations with fellow guests. The Royal Palm staff told us that a hot tub was planned for a future expansion, but the resort is desperately missing a place (other than the bar) for guests to gather and chat. 2. all drinks and food throughout your stay can be charged back to your respective room. however, our daily receipts did not leave a space to add gratuity for the amazing staff. at one point i had to tell our server how much to add (which made for a somewhat uncomfortable experience). in addition to the above, there are several positive areas which i feel deserve recognition. 1. housekeeping: there wasn't a day that i returned to my room that didn't feel like the first day that i checked in. kudos to the team. 2. the food: The chef at The Royal Palm consistently turned out phenomenal food. the breakfasts that we enjoyed each morning were cooked to our exact specifications and each dish was better than the last. 3. the wait/bar staff: every member of the "service team" at The Royal Palm consistently went out of their way to be friendly, warm, and accommodating. in a time where gay owned and operated businesses are struggling, i think that our community owes its patronage to those who chose to open them. i encourage anyone who is looking for a great place in Fort Lauderdale to call The Royal Palm. read more

So, although I am gay, I decided to head to Florida with a friend who was straight and female. When making our reservation we were never advised that this is a gay-only property. When we went to check in we we denied our room (even though it had been paid in advance). It seems, this gay property, while the want and expect the same rights as heteros, do not seem to feel that it goes both ways. I was very sad and sorry to see a gay business acting in such a deplorable manner. Granted, most people who come here are probably just gay men, but if you are anything but you will most likely see yourself denied entry and asked to leave. Equality it seems, is up to the property. To make matters worse, when I asked for a refund I was told the money would be put on a "gift card" for a future reservation for myself. They did not seem to fathom that if you do not want me and straight friend now, then I probably will not be coming back in the future. We score rooms at a nearby Marriott (who seemed happy to welcome a gay man and straight woman onto their property). It took letters to the BBB and a dispute with the credit card company to get my money back. Just a heads up for future reference. read more

The place was decent but the guy in the office with the glasses has terrible customer service skills . Other guests were also mentioning it around the pool . Maybe the management really needs to take a closer look at this because he has no hospitality skills for running a hotel ! read more

We stayed for ONE night and had absolutely NO POWER. This is unacceptable. You literally get what you pay for with this place. I've never stayed in a hotel where the power went out for no apparent reason and everywhere around still had power??? Rooms were ok, not great, just ok. Overall, we have a very mediocre experience. read more

You must stay here. The attention to detail by the staff is amazing. Great group of guys on property that take care of your every need. The rooms being recently remodeled, are fantastic. Have a cocktail at the pool from the bar just steps away, or even a meal on the pool deck. By the way, while you're here, take advantage of the spa on site and treat yourself to a massage. True Bliss. Thanks, Larry! ...and if that weren't enough, just a block to the beach too, how convenient! read more

I did not like this hotel. The shower water did not get hot, the room smelled of mildew and you can hear the construction outside. The office closes early and the number you call directs you to a office where no one is there. The sheets had a unclean smell and the room is older and dingy. This is a glorified motel that charged 150 a night. Parking is an extra 10 also. The only good thing about this room is that it is 2 blocks from the beach. It's surrounds a pool and a bar and that seems to be the hub of the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and I will not be back. read more

NIGHTMARE STAY AWAY! Up front, I want to disclose that I do not make a habit of bad-mouthing businesses. I've had good experiences and not-so-good experiences. Honestly, this is the first time I've used a social media platform to complain about a bad one. However, it truly was that atrocious! I've been here before, at least a couple times. It was "good enough', certainly far from amazing but a great location to Fort Lauderdale's restaurants, bars, and beach. This latest stay (January 2021) was an absolutely horrible experience!! My complaint list would be far too long to list everything that was wrong with this stay. The lobby, the rooms.. they were filthy and this during covid! The maids never came to replace the towels or clean the room. There was not a working ice machine. The only thing that came out of the one ice machine we could find was literally dirt, and I'm not kidding! When I called to complain, I was told by the person on the phone that they would send a member of the "engineering team" to fix it; it was both annoying and laughable at the same time. If this "resort" is having major issues due to covid, then shut the place down!!! Do not screw over patrons and still take reservations for a place that very obviously is not even being taken care of in any way shape or form. Oh, and at check-in they gave us a $10 up charge per night for "services", of which there were none. Avoid this place like the plague!!! read more

Stayed here for the weekend for a competition I am in. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this place is! It was 4 of us staying in a one bed room suite and the price was very reasonable and we had plenty of space. We paid 300 with taxes included. Very clean room and modernly decorated with upgrades. Huge king bed which was comfortable and a pull out bed in the living room. There was also a walk in closet for all our stuff. They had a full sized fridge and the kitchen was stocked with supplies. Stove top Microwave that doubled as an oven and a table with 4 chairs. They have 4 pools on the property and a bar outside of the main pools. Most of the staff was very nice minus the late night front desk person. He wasn't very helpful when my friends came late and we're trying to figure out parking and needed sheets etc. the daytime front desk person was amazing. I will def stay here again read more

My trip to the Royal Palms Resort and Spa was a very relaxing experience. If you are looking for a place in Fort Lauderdale that has drinks, food, pool (two of them) and spa together, this is a great resort to spend your time. In addition, it is located one block off the beaches. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. It has a poolside bar, which is a refreshing way to spend the day by the pool. The bar is covered enough to keep you shaded from the sun, or you can choose to sit inside the covered bar area. Do keep in mind, if you get a poolside room, the bar is a busy location, and so you will hear noise until late in evening. The restaurant/grille on site was surprisingly good, with well-prepared and tasty food for breakfast and lunch. You can eat at the umbrella-covered tables or at the bar or the pool, and probably in your room, but there are no phones in the rooms to call for room service. It is also convenient enough to walk to the many restaurants along the beach strip. The rooms were very modern and sleek, all in white with modern white furniture and a flat screen TV. The room had a great walk in shower, and each room has its own AC unit that keeps the room adequately cool. My one suggestion would be that the room could use the addition of a ceiling fan. The staff did a great job keeping the rooms neat and tidy. There is also free Wi-Fi across the entire property. The spa staff was equally as nice and professional as the rest of the resort team. The massages were relaxing, and each masseur knew what they were doing. My favorite of the spa treatments was the tropical body scrub. The facilities were clean and music played throughout the spa area. I would definitely recommend the Royal Palms, and plan to visit again for my next trip to Fort Lauderdale. read more

We stayed from Sunday to Friday and actually arrived in the middle of Tea Dance. We immediately decided to forget about the luggage in the car and join in the fun. We had a great time and that didn't end until we left. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. One bartender had a bit of an attitude, but we only had to deal with him once at the Tea Dance. I would have rated this place higher, but I have to ding them for having horrible mattresses in the rooms. They have these super soft pillow top mattress pads on them that are not removable. For people with back issues (like me), these mattresses spell trouble for you. Luckily, most of the bartenders pour a stiff drink and after a while in the pool and sun, you forget about your back pain. The other strike against this resort was not having towels for guest use at the fitness center. Even after bringing it to staff's attention one day, there were still no towels the next day...I asked for them again and they didn't bring them until I was literally walking out of the gym. Luckily I was able to get a face towel from one of the housekeepers. Those are a few examples of the negatives. Now for a prime example of the positives. On the day we left, we had to check out of the room before we needed to leave for the airport. The man at the front desk was more than kind. He not only watched our bags for us but told us that we were still considered guests and to feel free to use the facility until we left for the airport. He also let me charge my laptop while we went swimming, etc. Well, after a few of their now famous heavy pour drinks, we grabbed our luggage but forgot about the laptop. A different person was in the front office and didn't realize the laptop was mine. When we got to the airport, I realized I forgot it. I called the resort and they were good enough to take it to the UPS store and ship it to me. I would absolutely stay here again, even with the lousy mattresses. Hopefully, the new suites they are building next door will have better mattresses!! read more

I have stayed at this hotel since it opened. It was the hub of social life, wonderful small restaurant and bar, with 2 pools. The rooms were beautifully designed and modern. The 2 pools were nicely appointed with chairs, umbrellas and cabanas. The location to the beach is wonderful. The staff amazing and friendly. Unfortunately, I have witnessed the downfall of this little jewel. I just spent 2 nights and would never stay again! I reserved a specific room four months prior, and upon my arrival, found it was given to another guest. There is no longer a restaurant and the bar hours are severely restricted. There are no umbrellas, cabanas have been removed and fewer chairs. The rooms are worn, mattresses appear never to have been changed since the opening, safe did not work, light bulbs burned out and all the charm is gone. The staff tried their best...but it cannot make up for the owners lack of property management and up keep! Save yourself heartache...find a better hotel!! read more

First let me say that the location and price was great. But I was extremely disappointed with the service. First, when I checked in the lady stayed over and over that if I needed anything there would always be someone available and that if no one was in the office, just to ring the bell and someone would come. I was hoping. It to need assistance but after I returned to my room from a day at the beach my door was not fully closed and the maid service was. It completed. They took our dirty towels but did not replace them with clean ones, bed was not done, and trash was not taken. I went to the office and no one was there. I rang the bell like 3 times and no one ever came out. I called the hotel 3 times to tell them we needed turn down service and was told they would address it. I left back to the beach and when I returned the room was still not done. I called again and requested at least to get towels so we could shower. I was told they would be there in a few minutes. That's never happened. I went back to the office and again no one was there, I rang the bell a couple of times and still no one. Also I would like to mention that when I first went to use the restroom there was a live roAch on the toilet paper. So besides the poor poor service and one roach the hotel location and price just couldn't be beat. read more

After once considering this hotel a 4 star after my first stay when they originally opened its has gone down hill a bit with each year I have returned. I had read some recent reviews which made me a bit nervous and this feeling was defiantly warranted. The reservations center they now use is horrible. You used to deal directly with the hotel itself now they use a service that deals with all their properties. When I called to ask for a specific room request they said they weren't aware of the layout of the hotel and would transfer me to the front desk which only put me into a voicemail which I left several messages and never got a return call. Finally after about 12 calls over a few week period they finally called back after I had sent a 3rd email. They confirmed my room request but out of precaution I noted who spoke with and the date. When I arrived the reservation according to them had been canceled even though I had a confirmation reminder the day before. They blamed it on the third party website so I called where I booked and they spoke to the hotel and resent me a confirmation stating it was still very much confirmed and there. They hotel said they were sold out and didn't have a room. I went onto the hotels own website and it showed they had availability right then as he told me this. When I showed them this they argued that too and dismissed it. Regardless they said they were full and didn't know what happened. They moved us to a sister hotel of theirs but I was not happy and wont be back. Beware this establishment is not the hotel it once was. read more

Based soley on their Sunday T dance...the facility seems clean, comfortable and safe. The bartender (Bryan) is perhaps one of the most friendly and welcoming people I have ever met behind a bar. He made an out of town stranger feel perfectly at home. A little disappointed that it seems another beheamoth eye sore is being built between this quaint little hotel and the beach...hopefully a sliver of shore will still be visible...but for now it was an amazing place to sip and watch the sun set. read more
