Burnt Pineapple upside cake
This Resort is actually very nice. The view from our hotel was beautiful. Of you of the Gulf of Mexico the ocean the pier the Island Bar it was great. We asked for room service twice and they were pretty quick within about 20 minutes. One of the nights I did ask for room service and the chicken wings were amazing but I was very disappointed with burnt upside down cake. The last time I checked a pineapple upside down cake is yellow has pineapple and maybe Marciano cherries. This was two burnt crispy pieces of cake topped with pineapple and caramel sauce that was not going to make it any softer. I made a comment to the front desk and all they said was sorry to hear that. I know that a lot of people say things so they can get a discount but I was being truthful because I believed everything else tasted great. Overall this day was nice and I like the kitty on the property

Do Better
We booked because my son had a baseball tournament. The first night went well. The second night was a nightmare. Had to park in the parking garage and walk across the dam parking lot twice. Super inconvenient. The same night we had music overtaken our room until 10:30. Marine ball!! My son has anxiety and we took him to the hospital. We let the front desk aware of this situation earlier in the night. By far the worst customer experience in our lives.

False Advertising
FALSE ADVERTISING It was horrible, supposedly remodeled in 2020, the bed creaked all night with any movement (like a old rusty 1950s mattress) tv alarm with off at 6 am, nightstand alarm went off at 6:30 am, so much for a good nights sleep, The main pool that appears in all the photos, closed for construction, the buffet I paid additional for closed as well. I left early and explained why nicely, but the supervisor showed no emotion, just offered the excuse that it’s off season, no apologies This is below post COVID service

Pool maintenance week.
The service from workers was excellent. Everyone we saw was kind and curtious. We were bummed that the pools were going through some maintenance so they were generally not available....the heated one was out beginning of the week and the main one was out later in the week. Luckily the beach was in great shape and the water wasnt too cold there. Wish the hotel had mad us aware of the pool outages ahead of time...it might have affected our decision to stay there that week. Overall a very nice place. If we go again ill call ahead to ensure all facilites are working....

No easy way to get to your room
Pools were locked (each of 3) and under repairs, meaning walking between the entrance and the building with your room was not clear, and convoluted.

A good place to stay
It was a great stay except the coffee machine in the room looked dirty and it should have been mentioned that one of the pools would be closed for maintenance and being charged for a chair at the pool is ridiculous the elevators were a little sketchy but overall it was a nice place to stay

My wife and I were here for 5 days in a standard king room, here were our pros and cons: Pros: clean great buffet nice beach comfortable bed Cons: Small room your curtains always need to be closed because you're on display Spotty WiFi noise easily enters the room from the outside Overall its a fine place to stay and a good value but its not going to blow anyone away with the amenities.

Very nicer smaller resort!
We loved this resort. It is smaller which made it so easy to get around and didn’t have to walk 5miles to do anything. They had a good variety of food and drinks including a Mexican food truck!! Also had a lot of activities throughout the day/evening. Staff were all very friendly. My only complaint is the heated pool was under construction which I wasn’t aware of when I booked it and the main pools water was so cold you couldn’t swim (even kids would stick one foot in and say nope)
