I have stayed here many times and always enjoy it. My first time back since the hurricane and noticed a few differences. Even though you have a $20/day resort fee, parking charge was $50 and maid service will not show up unless you call and schedule. Beach chairs, table and umbrella is now $35/day and they WILL throw you off the beach at exactly 5pm. You will still have an enjoyable time but it's going to cost you a lot more.

This resort has reinvented itself. Never stayed here before due to past reputation. Newly updated since hurricane, clean, quiet and pleasantly surprised. Great beach access, towels provided, but had to rent lounge chairs/umbrella/table. Stayed 2 nights, next time we will stay longer.

The staff on leaving wrecked our vacation. We asked for a late check and they said ok just ask in the morning. Their was a parade blocking the road and couldn’t get out until 1:00 but we left the room at 11:45 after 6 phone calls and they sent a person at 11:30 to throw us out. Since the road was closed we walked down town and back at 1:30 was met by a 6’6’ lot attendant screaming at us to get our car off the lot. Then the manager called and said she’s going to have my car towed and I said my wife is in the bathroom and I’m just waiting for her. She told me 5 times she’s calling a tow truck and while we’re on the phone my wife came and we left while she was on the phone yelling at me. Then the charged my cc for $50. Do yourself a favor stay away from this place.

Great view from our king suite. Couch is very uncomfortable. Bed is comfy but a little low. My husband had trouble getting out of it. Food at Graces was average but prices were reasonable and happy hour daily from 3-5 had great oysters and wings. We were right above the daily music (10am-10pm). Could be a good thing or bad thing. We enjoyed it but an hour of quiet would have been nice.

Not so great

It was Spring break, so it was pretty crazy there. Short staffed in the breakfast area. Every time we turned around, we had to pay for something! (Car, beach chair, umbrella, small table). We were placed right above the bar, so it was LOUD.

Had a great stay with our kids. Food was amazing, gift shops and hair tinseling shop was fun. Cannot beat the location - such an easy walk to other restaurants and bars. Just wish housekeeping wasn’t “on demand” and that there was a better system for beach towels!

We appreciate this is a work in process, but were promised a modification in our reservation would not impact our ability to stay in one room for our entire stay. At 9:30 a.m. we were told we needed to move rooms and get out of our current room in 30 minutes. We were promised that we could stay in the same room. The staff were not helpful and acted like this was our problem.
