Make sure you choose to have the breakfast included in your room price and get the vouchers. Great choices and glad they switch it up for the buffet or you can order from the menu. The location is also fantastic!
There's no reason the Grotto pool isn't heated, its absolutely freezing cold and a waste.

I have to commend the staff first. From the time I arrived on the property EVERYONE went above and beyond to accommodate my family. The view and location was exceptional.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

The rooms were really nice. We had a balcony room. The beach and beach access area is really nice.
Nothing that I can think of. Everything was good.

Very attentive and kind staff
My room had an issue with the door to the deck. They fixed it right away, but there was a strong gasoline/oil odor from the repair that would not dissipate. I ended up switching rooms, which the staff was very accommodating to do.
Lots of repair work going on, as it is the off season.

The Gulf Front View was amazing! The walk in shower was great! The pool/Grotto was absolutely perfect! Staff was friendly and I wish we would have stayed here sooner!
That we couldn't stay longer!! Maybe next time!! Overall nothing to complain about.

We enjoyed the location of the property.
The hallways were musty and not well ventilated, elevators didn’t work half the time, room was small, our restroom had a dingy smell, the large pool was dirty, small pool was as hot as a jacuzzi, and food was way over priced.

Everything was perfect. We hadn't stayed here in a few years due to health issues and we enjoyed every minute of our get away!

it was steps from the water. Good location with restaurants close by.
Breakfast buffet was overpriced for the food offered. Bathroom shower could have been cleaner. Grotto pool would have been fun but was so cold there weren’t many willing to go in. People in room across the hall were so loud it felt like they were sitting next to us. They were also very disrespectful by letting their door slam as they went in and out late at night.

The staff were nice around the hotel.
Balloon animal guy made my kids smile.
When we spent as much as we did for three nights and all the photos showing beachfront or pool view rooms and then receiving a room in what looked like a rundown motel 6 facing a parking garage. Also that glass at. Iggy is not privacy is everyone was able to see into our room walking by. Also the cherry on the cake was that you could hear every work spoken outside. When my husband asked for a change/ upgrade the first day we were told it was all booked. Next time I want to spent $700 bucks plus parking with my family. I will take it to the Hilton holiday in. We actually wanted to leave a night early because we were so disappointment. We. Poked this stay months ago and have. Even looking forward to it. These rooms should not even be an option. Also all the metal knobs and fixtures were rusting in the rooms. Do better !!!

We really liked the beach view from our 3rd floor room. Room was comfortable and spacious. The daily room housekeeping was appreciated. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful to give activity suggestions and answer questions.
The room floor was not cleaned well. I realize we are at the beach, but the floor felt Sandy and dirty. In fact, after walking around barefoot in the room I got in the shower and my footprints were black on the shower floor! A good mopping or steam cleaning would have been helpful.
