Fabulous place to stay. We traveled to Port A without booking a hotel. Drove around and stumbled on…read morethe Beachgate. When we walked into the office we were greeted by wonderful staff members who gave us a great room at a great price due to it being off season. It was fabulous. Our room had a small balcony with side view of the beach, large refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The bathtubs were amazing. Deep enough to get a full soak which was great after a long drive. It was attached to a one bedroom efficiency which also had a refrigerator and kitchen appliances. The property is RIGHT on the beach! Plenty of rooms to choose from. You can book a one bedroom condo and add two additional (attached) one bedroom efficiencies which also have bathrooms, kitchen appliances and a full refrigerator. Great for large groups. Everyone can stay together and still have privacy. They also have laundry facilities on site and in some of the condos. AND they welcome dogs! $25 per dog per night. We had boarded our dogs. Next time they are coming with us! The property is within walking distance to a restaurant too. Great HEATED pool and jacuzzi as well. Special shout out to MIRANDA who assisted us with finding the right room for a return visit. Coordinated with other staff to show us three options for our next stay in May. Highly recommend this place. The reviews of the Beachgate (on Yelp) do not represent this property accurately.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the Mayan Princess. We booked a privately owned two-story…read morecondo through Airbnb, and it was nicely maintained and comfortable. It's true that the property feels a little outdated when you first walk into check-in, but beyond that, we were very happy with our stay. There are plenty of luggage carts, as well as shopping carts, which made it easy to transport luggage and groceries to our condo. The pools were great. With three separate pool areas, they never felt overcrowded--in fact, most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. They could use a few more sun loungers, and it would have been nice to have a pool bar; there is even an area that looks like there may have been one previously. The walk down to the beach is very easy, but be mindful that there are steps, so if you're using a wagon, you may need someone to help carry it down onto the sand. I did appreciate the hose station at the top of the boardwalk--it made it easy to rinse off sand, especially from the wagon wheels. Overall, we were very happy with this location for a short weekend stay and would definitely return.

Our stay at the Coastal Calm unit located on the 3rd floor was perfect for our family of 4. Highly recommend that unit. The master had 2 queen beds, and the secondary bedroom had 1 queen beds. All beds were comfortable. They had extra beach towels and accessories available if needed. Things that other guests had left behind as well. Living room had ample seating, as well as patio. When booking, you're provided instructions on what you need to bring, and what is provided. The pool at the condo resort was spacious and well kept. There is a wash station for those coming back from the beach. Going to the beach was so easy and the beach area was not crowded at all. We signed up with Me Blue to deliver a tent and lounge chairs on the beach for us. It was amazing and convenient. Second day we rented the canopy option available through the Mayan. That was equally convenient and easy. You can tell the property could use some updating, but it was overall a great place to stay. We enjoyed our visit and will certainly be back.

We love the beautiful beach access, great views, and the overall location. Our only disappointment this time was that assigned parking is no longer a feature.

Overall, La Mirage remains a special place for us, and we look forward to coming back!

The complex is very nice. Staff is very friendly. I was…read morevery disappointed to find out when I got in to my room that the nice refrigerator in the kitchen was not working, they had an old white basic fridge with no ice maker IN THE DINING ROOM. And the broken fridge smelled awful. Will never understand why they left the nonworking fridge in its place in the kitchen and thought sticking a fridge in the dining room was a good idea. Also both bedroom dressers had clothes in them when we came in. So gross. After all these years, I honestly don't know if I will be back. I expect more when paying $400 per night.

Let me start by saying that I have stayed in almost every hotel on this island, from cheap to…read moreexpensive af. The price of this place had me expecting something that was old and dingy but hopefully clean and sanitary. We were only staying one night so I figured I could tough it out if need be (y'all I am bougie ok, I fully accept that lol). Bc we were only staying one night, we arrived much earlier than typical check in hour but drove by justtttt to see if the room was ready. It was not. The front desk staff said she'd call us as soon as it was ready, but I've have heard that song and dance before and was not even expecting a call. Howeverrrrr, she did call! And only about 10 min after we left, saying the cleaning crew had just called to say they were done. That was the first surprise, a good one. When we got to the room I was literally stunned. It was so cute! Brand new everything! It looked like the entire place had been freshly remodeled; not just touch up paint here and a new lame picture the beach there, but actually top to bottom remodel by someone who knew what they were doing! So cute. And great value for the money. A couple small caveats, idk if it advertises as 'sleeps 4' but it really doesn't. There is a loft like area up some steep stairs but it does not have a full height ceiling and would only be fit for children under probably 6-7. Also, the ac doesn't get very cold (We got the detached bungalow btw). The rest of the property is super cute as well. There is a salt water pool (which was closed for some reason, sad face) and a snow cone hut which is super nice for kids. However, there is a second property just down the road whose pool was open so we checked it out. Pool, great but super busy; hot tub, great; bath house, amazing. Again, I'm thinking gross little outdoor shared bathroom at an RV park, wrong! It was a beautifully remodeled bathroom with extra large walk in shower, tile throughout and they were clean! Three total. Overall, I will be staying here again. Hopefully the pool will be open in my location the next time! But this is def now my go to Port A hotel! Such great value!

It's a long read I know…read more The good - location, pool, on site golf cart rental The bad- too pricey for the lack of parking, cramped RV spaces, questionable power pedestals (our breakers kept tripping) At approximately 10:30 p.m., I was abruptly awakened by an older gentleman repeatedly banging on the door of our camper. When I answered, he immediately began yelling that my truck was parked too far over the parking line and needed to be moved. At no point did he introduce himself or identify himself as an employee or representative of Tropical RV Resort, so I initially believed he was super hostile guest. I tried to explain to him that the designated overflow parking area was completely full and asked where I was expected to park. His response was that I should park off the property on the grass behind the park. I informed him that those areas were also completely full. When I again asked where he expected me to park, he stated that he didn't care, that he would begin fining me $100, and then call the fire marshal so I could be fined an additional $500. I do not tolerate being treated with threats and intimidation. He continued yelling throughout the conversation and would not allow for a productive discussion. To end the confrontation, I simply responded, "Okay," several times and closed the camper door. My husband then stepped outside to understand what was happening after hearing someone yelling at me. Rather than attempting to de-escalate the situation, the gentleman immediately began yelling at him as well. A brief verbal exchange followed, as my husband was understandably unwilling to be spoken to in such a disrespectful manner by someone who had never identified himself or attempted to communicate professionally. At this point, I felt extremely uncomfortable around this person. His behavior was unacceptable for someone who works with the Public and no guest should ever be treated that way for such a minor parking in fraction. There were cars on your property marked with tow warnings because they have been parked there without parking permits. At least one car was there for 48 hours perhaps had those cars been cleared there would've been ample parking. Additionally, there were open spaces in the trailer storage area, but I was informed I could not park there either. I also want to express a genuine concern regarding the older gentleman who confronted us. I cannot speak to his personal circumstances, but based on his behavior that evening, he appeared to be extremely agitated and confrontational. His level of anger, the way he pounded on our camper door late at night, and the manner in which he repeatedly yelled and threatened us made me feel genuinely unsafe. Whether this was an isolated incident or a pattern of behavior, I believe it warrants attention. No guest should feel intimidated or fear for their safety while staying at an RV resort. I sincerely hope management addresses this situation, both for the well-being of the individual involved and for the safety and comfort of future guests. In the end, all this started around 10:30 PM and by 11:15pm we were packed up and ready to go. I would rather forfeit a night or two, than stay in the environment that I was in. I should also note that the angry gentleman sat in the dark on his golf cart, hiding behind a fence, watching us pack up the entire time... it was awkward. This whole mess could've been avoided. Had this gentleman knocked on our door, introduced himself and explained the situation (without yelling and threatening us with fines and the Fire Marshal). This could've been such an easy problem to solve. I feel that in this circumstance, an exception could've been made to allow me to park in the trailer storage area or over by the hotel rooms where there was additional space. I would've been happy to pay the $10 storage fee just to have a place to park on property and not risk being towed by parking somewhere I didn't belong.

We had a bed with thin worn blanket, tv, mini fridge, microwave I wouldn't use, and a coffee pot. Floors dirty, grout has ground in dirt, tiny tube of bath wash, lotion, and small bar of soap. Prob clean but stained towels and sheets. Light switches broken, hole in ceiling, rusted old worn metal night stands and a small rusted table. Dark, bent/broken blinds, view of the parking lot if you can see out of it. The ac was freezing cold which was good, but loud as a semi. Absolutely unassuming place w only 16 units in a small U-shape, surrounded by partial fence with overgrown weeds. If all you need is a bed & shower, it's your spot, and you don't care much about either, it's adequate. Wouldn't bring kids or family. It's worth about $40-50/night and don't have any expectations. It is close to marina & bait shops if you just need a home base with AC while fishing all day.

Definitely read reviews off of yelp, and not just from google which gives it a 4.5. Stayed here…read morewith my husband to save a little money and the distance from the beach was convenient. The photos on the website do not look like the hotel. There was a hole in the wall with a napkin in it. I changed our trash bag and the bag left my hands black, possibly from dust. We heard scratching in the walls and ceiling at night/ early morning. There was stains on the shower curtain and on a towel. Everything was pretty rusted as well. So if you're thinking of staying here I highly recommend reading reviews and if you're okay with a place being/ feeling dirty then go for it. If you want to spend a little extra, or maybe even the same amount, definitely stay at another place.

I ended up reaching out to Lauren at Silver Sands and I am so glad I did. She hooked us up in the CUTEST place at the Old Town Cottages. We were in unit #14 and it was ADORABLE! It was brand new and even had that new condo smell. The details, décor and over-all feel of the place was very high end. We were only there three nights, but I can see using this for a longer stay. It was just the two of us, but the room with the bunks would allow us to bring our kids and have enough space for everyone. The smart TVs in both bedrooms and the living area is enough to keep everyone entertained with their own thing, and the golf cart that came with the rental was a blast. Wifi was strong and allowed for streaming and catching up on work here and there. The only somewhat negative thing I will say about unit 14 is that it was up some pretty steep stairs (above the retail shops) and so the up/down when unloading and loading was not fun. When we return, we will try to reserve one of the full cottages that are stand-alone one-story cottages. The location is great...smack dab in the middle of everything and steps away from some great bars and restaurants. When we ventured out further, it was so much fun to putter around in our golf card. We are so glad to have Lauren and this sweet little spot play a role in our special weekend. Oh, and by the way...I said yes after he had to ask me a second time because I was laughing/crying so much I forgot to answer.

The a/c is awesome and the kitchen though it's small is perfect for saving money from eating out. The tile floor is convenient with all the sand you track in.
