My stay at the beach villa was a mixed bag. The beach was beautiful and the amenities looked well cared for, but the service really let things down. I had to wait too long for simple requests, which is disappointing considering the high price. I can't say I'd return based on this experience.

I recently stayed at this resort, and while the grounds are beautiful, the buildings are in desperate need of renovations. The Wi-Fi was a struggle to access, and we faced some noise issues with tree work happening nearby, which detracted from the experience. For the price, I expected much better amenities and service.

The rooms are quite dated, but I had a decent view of the bay which helped. They didn't reach the set temperature, and one window was facing the stairwell, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Our stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The location was nice and family-friendly with some great amenities, but we faced several issues that made it less than ideal. While the beach was beautiful, the service and room conditions left much to be desired. Given the price point, I expected more attention to detail and better maintenance.

We had a lovely family vacation at Bayside Villas, where we enjoyed beautiful views and spacious accommodations. The resort offered plenty of fun activities like jet skiing and paddleboarding with dolphins and manatees. However, we found the Wi-Fi to be slow and the food quite pricey, although delicious. Overall, it’s a great place for families, but be prepared for some extra costs.

United States, August 2024

5.0/10

I recently stayed in a beach cottage, and while the view of the ocean was stunning, the overall experience was quite disappointing due to the lack of maintenance. The room was dusty, and some facilities were not up to standard, but I had a lovely time in a different villa earlier in my trip that was much better updated and comfortable. The prices didn't match the quality of service either, making it hard to justify the cost.

Rooms

The beach cottage was not well maintained; our room had significant dust and grime, and the furniture was peeling paint.

The location is beautiful, right by the beach, which makes for an amazing view but can't make up for the property's lack of upkeep.

Dining options were limited, and the prices felt too high for the quality of service provided.
