Overview

Pros
  • Rooms with beautiful Gulf of Mexico views from private balconies

  • Condo units with full kitchens and washer/dryers

  • Convenient beach access

  • Spacious, multi-bedroom condos ideal for families or groups

  • Big outdoor pool with plenty of lounge space

  • Fitness center with sauna and steam room

  • Free DVD rentals

Cons
  • Fee for Wi-Fi

  • Some units have older appliances

  • Some complaints of neglected condos that could use cleaning and updating

  • Different condo owners result in inconsistent quality

Bottom Line

This 82-unit resort soars above the coastline, and offers beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico from its multi-bedroom condos. But flaws are apparent upon closer inspection. Condos are spacious but have small bathrooms, and decor is inconsistent and dated between units. Some condos have tube TVs, old comforters, and fake plants. In addition, the outdoor tennis courts are etched with deep cracks and some guests complain about cleanliness issues. Redeeming qualities here include beach access, full kitchens, and a fitness center complete with a sauna and steam room. While condo prices might suggest luxury, these units are in need of an upgrade.
