"The bathroom was pretty dirty "

"Parking slots in the outside lot were poorly designed. Way too narrow. Room’s patio screen door was falling off the track, and the sliding glass door lock needs repair. Pocket door to bathroom very hard to open and close, probably because of the multiple paint coats. Microwave didn’t have power to it (circuit breaker?) the first morning when trying to use it for breakfast. Maybe there could be a checklist to make sure things are ready for guests. Staff was excellent, answering all questions, and were very personable. Responded promptly to broken microwave problem, and got it taken care of within a couple of hours. Staff that drove golf carts were prompt, safe drivers, and answered many questions. Talked to a very helpful lady in one of the shops and she went out of her way to show me how to get to the path to the beach. Pool was very nice. Saw many kids there along with ours. We had to bring a Pack-N-Play due to no cribs offered. "

"I booked this hotel specifically because the website advertised it as pet friendly — that was the deciding factor. What I didn’t see anywhere in the listing was any mention of a $100 pet fee for a single night. That’s a significant charge that deserves to be upfront, not buried or absent entirely. I travel with my emotional support animal, and in my experience, most accommodations either waive the pet fee for ESAs or at least have a clear, transparent policy. When I checked in and was told about the charge, I was caught completely off guard. When I explained that my animal is a registered ESA, the front desk staff were polite but firm — no exceptions. The room itself was fine, and the property is clean. But the lack of transparency around fees and the blanket policy that ignores the distinction between pets and emotional support animals left a bad taste. If you’re going to market yourself as pet friendly, at minimum be upfront about the costs. A $100 fee for one night is steep, and finding out at check-in is a frustrating way to start a stay. Travelers with ESAs, take note — call ahead and confirm the fee policy before booking, because “pet friendly” here doesn’t mean what you might expect."
