During my stay a staff member was rushing and went around my family up the beach stairs and bumped into my 2 year old and sent her head flying into the steps, she bled everywhere. I told the front staff about it and they went me up smores to apologize. It’s been months and there is a permanent scar. S’mores for a permanent scar on a 2 year old is insane. I have been looking into a lawyer for this.

It was alright, the room was adequate for my bridal entourage to do our preparation for my wedding, a little of inconvenience was the safety box in the room wasn’t working properly, the power keep shutting off and it won’t close, but our valuables was safe by just leaving it inside my suitcase.

Very nice resort, obviously… But when booking from out of town, it should be noted that none of the rooms nor the resort are directly on the ocean (the gulf). It’s about two blocks away. Staff super friendly. Room was very clean, unfortunately, we could not turn the ceiling fan up because it made a very loud squeaky noise, and one of the shutters that block the bathroom from the bedroom was loose and kept protruding into the room and we kept walking into it. minor issues… but issues you shouldn’t have for such a high-end resort. All at the say, we still enjoyed our stay!
