great time and experience there rooms where clean and very nice the view was awesome looking into the Bayside staff was great id recommend this place to anyone for a great place too stay
Condo was great, perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed all of the amenities. Didn’t get into our car again until we’re packing you on to leave. They have everyone you need to do. We really enjoyed this place
We had a wonderful stay! The beds were firm and very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious. The condo was perfect for our group of three couples, and there was even a twin mattress in the master closet that worked well for our teenage daughter.
The views were absolutely breathtaking. They were especially appreciated by our older family members who weren’t able to spend time on the beach but could still enjoy the beautiful ocean scenery from the windows.
The only minor issue was that we could have used a few more towels. Fortunately, there was a washer and dryer, so it was easy to wash and reuse the towels we had.
Overall, we had a fantastic visit and would happily stay here again!
Absolutely amazing 8th floor and we could see it all excellent place. Expensive to do activities at the resort the waterpark and kayaks should be included with the stay everything else was expected to rent.
Clean room- but only a sheet and light blanket on the bed. We don’t drink, so the bar happy hour was not important. Restaurant- food was good. Activities were awesome- packages were a great deal!

Room was very nice , clean as expected. We’ve stayed at this resort in the past and had a good experience. Everything was good, except the food and drinks are extremely overpriced. I would also like to add that the staff near and around the pool and bar area should work on their mannerisms, quite rude . If I’m spending almost $5000.00 for a stay at your resort, I expect to be treated like royalty. I was treated very well our previous stay , I just don’t feel like I , (we) , were treated the same as before.Just saying, not too sure if we ever return.

The view from the balcony was incredible! The pool by the bay was resort level quality and had a stocked bar in addition to, two dining options. Direct easy access to the gulf side where the resort had chairs and umbrellas, pending you upgraded your package.
My only criticism would be the adventure package pricing is a bit high considering how frequently you may actually utilize it. I think a single use option should be provided such as water park for two hours, Kayaks for one hour etc. just felt for my family personally we only spent several
Hours using those amenities and it could have been more cost effective for travelers. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend to
