Our stay was quite the mix of highs and lows. While the hotel offers breathtaking oceanfront views and a lively atmosphere that's perfect for families, we encountered some drawbacks, particularly with the hidden fees and services. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a family getaway, but prepare for some unexpected costs.

The hotel offers a great variety of room types, with stunning ocean views and a nice beach atmosphere. While the concierge service and spa amenities are excellent, my experience with customer service was disappointing due to a lack of transparency regarding room views. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a beach vacation, but improvements in communication would enhance the stay.

I had a wonderful stay at The Waterfront Beach Resort. The Governor Suite we were upgraded to offered breathtaking ocean views, and the personal touches made our anniversary celebration so special. However, I did hear some guests struggling with uncomfortable beds and outdated rooms in the older tower, which seemed to detract from their experience. Overall, the atmosphere was engaging, and the heated pools were a delight.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful beach views and the engaging activities for my kids. The staff was responsive and made our stay even more pleasant. However, my dining experience could have been improved as I found the restaurant layout a bit cramped and overpriced.

The hotel had a few redeeming qualities but was overshadowed by some disappointments. While the beachfront location was fantastic, and the room had stunning views, we found the service lacking during our stay. We faced long wait times, especially at the restaurants, and the food didn't meet our expectations. The additional charges for parking and resort fees felt excessive, which impacted the overall value for money.
