We booked a room through RCI & were lucky to get a one-bedroom on the second floor overlooking the pool & with a view of the beach. Would definitely not want to stay in one of the first floor units which appear dark & have no view. Our unit was clean, comfortable, nicely furnished (microsuede sofa, leather lounge chair, 42"...

We just returned from a two week vacation at Suntide Island Beach Club. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. They were always available to answer questions and suggest local restuarants that were yummy! Our condo was very clean and well furnished. There is no odor of mold. You are steps from the pool and ocean from any condo unit... More

This is an old tired resort. The pool is small. The rooms are outdated. The staff was not very friendly except for the housekeeping staff. There are too many rules to follow. Only two resort sponsored activites - morning coffee and a hot dog lunch. The only good thing about this resort is that it is on a beautiful beach.... More

My wife and I travel by motorcycle several times a year all over the country. This year our June trip was "the long way back home." We left Missouri, stopped in Nashville, then to Biloxi, Fort Walton Beach (the Best Western suxs!!!), then Gainsville and Sarasota. Normally finding a hotel on a road trip is pretty easy, but not here!... More

We had neighbors outside talking at 3am two nights in a row; the walls must be paper thin because I could hear every word, and they were not being loud, really. The rooms are a few feet away from roadways/parking.; the close proximity is almost laughable. Expect to be awakended by cars and talking. More

When we walked into our 2 bedroom condo (which we stayed at for 7 days) we were very surprised at how nicely it was laid out. The living room was just updated with microsuede furniture and a nice recliner and of course a 42" flat screen tv. The first bedroom did not have an HD Tv but the main bedroom... More

We have exchanged all over Europe, U.S.A and several times on the Gulf Coast of Florida and quite honestly this is the worst. We arrived from a week in Orlando where the accommodation and facilities were excellent and on opening the door of our allocated apartment we were extremely disappointed. In fact my initial reaction was to turn round and... More
