Stayed with family and parents, total of 6, in a two bedroom condo facing west. Pools are simple but adequate for everything you need, my kids really enjoyed them. Facilities are well maintained and front desk was helpful. The hotel has its own beach access point, and because the Islander is off the main strip you do not have to... More

Love the Islander! Rooms are very clean and nice. Grounds are kept nice as well. We stayed on the first floor and walked right out our patio to the pool and beach was maybe a 1 or 2 minute walk past the pool and tennis court. Beach is really beautiful, nice white sand, perfect for our sons to play in.... More

I just returned with my husband and two children from a week at the Islander...it was truly an amazing vacation that we will always cherish. We stayed in 604 which has a nautical theme and beautiful views of the gulf. My hubby and I were so impressed with the unit, we wouldn't mind selling our house and living there forever!... More

We have stayed here so many times, unit 718 is really beautiful totally updated with a lovely new master bath. For us this unit has the best view and is very quiet. We have been here through all seasons and each one offers something unique. The staff is amazing, Susan the GM is always friendly and cordial and very professional.... More

We chose the Islander off the internet and we have been very pleased. We stayed in Unit 102 because we wanted walk out access to the beach. It was quite a bit further than "steps from the beach" but it was absolutely beautiful. Very well furnished and maintained. We had a couple of issues and Todd was extremely prompt and... More

After the conversations with the individual renting the unit we were worried... More
