I had a very nice stay at this resort. The front desk staff was amazing and helped us get a bottom floor unit, which was convenient. The grounds were lovely, especially the pool and family area that provided a relaxing atmosphere. The room met our expectations but needed some minor repairs. One downside is that the washer and dryer in the room were coin-operated, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a pleasant experience despite a couple of drawbacks.

We had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was convenient for the beach, but the accommodations were well below expectations, especially for a family-oriented resort. The pool was a nice touch, but the lack of evening swimming and pool towels was frustrating. Overall, while there are some perks, the outdated amenities and cleanliness issues made our stay less enjoyable than it could have been.

I had a wonderful week's stay at Surf Rider. The unit we stayed in was exceptionally clean and private, complete with a lovely balcony, which was a great plus. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The beach was not far at all, making our sunset walks a special ritual. However, I did have some frustration with the unit's coin-operated washer and dryer, which was an unexpected inconvenience for our family. Overall, it was a great experience but a few minor adjustments could make it even better.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. It was conveniently located near the beach, and the pool was nice. However, I found the room conditions disappointing, with outdated appliances and a lack of basic amenities. The service left much to be desired, and some aspects were frustrating, such as the limitations on pool usage and the steep stairs that made it hard for my family. Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives made it a less than ideal stay.

6.0/10

The resort has a lot of great features like clean facilities and a convenient location right across from the beach. However, the pool hours were disappointing, and the rules were a bit overwhelming. While the staff was very nice and helpful, the cleanliness and comfort in the unit left something to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

The unit I stayed in was a two-bedroom but only had one and a half bathrooms, which is less than expected for a unit advertised as accommodating six. To make matters worse, the floors were dirty upon arrival, requiring housekeeping to come and re-clean them, which shouldn't have been necessary.

The pool area looked nice, but the hot tub wasn't working during my stay, which was pretty disappointing. Additionally, the rules around pool hours and usage could be improved for a more relaxing experience.
