Would not recommend this property for families with children attending. Our family has been vacationing on the Gulf Coast for over 20 years and have stayed in several different condos spanding from Gulf Shores to Destin. We decided to try Beach Club on a recommendation from a friend.
I would not recommend Beach Club to anyone looking for a "family" atmosphere. This resort is adult-centric. The indoor pool is restricted to adults, with the exception of the hours of 12 noon to 6 pm. Unfortunately for us, the weather was bad the entire week, and the kids had no where else to swim. We were told to get out of the indoor pool immediately at 6 pm sharp (it was storming at the time), and it was for adults only during certain hours. There were no adults in the pool at the time as it was empty. Very disappointed to say the least for the amount of money we paid. Had I know this before, I would not have booked at this resort! It is not advertised on their website. The Tv's in the bedroom didn't work; towel rack in the batbroom fell off.
Also, I would not stay here due to the security system. The number of different codes and fobs needed were very unnecessary. A more uniformed security system would be beneficial and customer friendly. The access to the beach from the Condo was highly inconvenient and felt like a maze.
We were told there would be parking passes waiting for us in the condo when we arrived and they were not present. We had to call to let management know they weren't there (which I had read other customers had to do as well).
When we arrived to the condo, we found housekeeping staff still in the condo and seemed shocked to see us there. There was a very offensive odor in the condo. The environmental staff seemed like they were trying to cover up some odor and were caught off guard by our presence.
The condo needs attention. There were multiple walls, corners that were in need of repair. The grill on the balcony was filthy and is in need of new internal parts. We had planned to grill several meals but were unable to do so.
And had to change plans.
The management staff were responsive when we reported the issues but provided no follow up or feedback to us.
When the weather was good, this location is very convenient for access to restaurants and tourist shops, etc.
This particular condo is a 4 bedroom which we needed for a large family. It is small in square footage in comparison to other 4 bedroom condos we have stayed in.
