Resort was very clean. Staff were very friendly. Received $180.00 food/ service credit on arrival because some of the resort areas are under renovation because of the Hurricane last fall. My room was so nice and the bed was luxurious. Beach was beautiful!!!

Inside are great. These condos on the west side should not be open for business. First-The construction workers parking next to you personal vehicle and using power equipment. 2nd we had no hot water, spent most of the morning changing rooms twice. The first night of dining we were sat at a table with people we didn’t know and very loud and attire was not observed. 3rd, my credit card was charged by Expedia and also by the resort, two times. I will be reporting that to my banking instruction. We wanted to make a reservation for the on-site spa for pedicure and the desk said that were not needed. So upon arrival the next day they were booked.

It was our first time here and loved everything! The room was clean, spacious and we couldn’t have asked for more. The king sized bed was super comfortable and pillows firm, which were amazing, not those feather ones that have no support. The pool and private beach were a dream…private, well maintained. Amenities by the main pool were great and food available until 9pm was a blessing!! We will definitely be coming back

Property was good. Big units, well stocked and comfortable. Not 5 start for sure but great, especially if you had a family. Also appreciate the ability to get beach chairs, bikes, etc. Only real complaint is the fact that Expedia did not tell me the main pool was closed for reno when I booked. That's pretty important.

Great property. Perfect setup for the family to enjoy both the beach and the pools. Really, a wonderful set-up with very friendly and helpful front line staff. The rooms themselves were perfectly fine but could use some updating. The bed was comfortable but the pull-out couch was a bit outdated. It's time for a new one.

The main pool was closed the entire stay at the resort. The apartment couch was infested with fleas or some type of non-visible insect. Our exposed skin was bitten and burned like crazy. Recommend you fumigate your apartment upon checking-in. Air conditioner worked great.

Jen’s Experience.

The room we had was a king with sofa bed. Sofa was very old and raggedy, made farting noises when sat on and sunk down. The king bed was so firm and uncomfortable. Could hear the music from pool all the time but, only the base so sounded like constant thunder. For paying over $1500 for 2 nights I expect more. No breakfast as included either.

Drab Old Facility, Terrible Breakfast & Service

I booked a partial ocean view room at the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. I checked in after dark so I could not see the view from the room. I awoke to a view of other buildings. The unit I am in G307 does not face the beach. There are screens on the balcony. There is no way you can see the beach. I went to breakfast it is terrible!! Terrible food quality. Frozen pastry breads, running oatmeal and cold water served for tea. They charge $25.00 for breakfast with tip already added which they doe allot in Florida. Tip is for exceptional service, not mandatory! The facility is old from the 70's & 80's it is struggling hard to be current today. This facility needs to be closed and redone with a major remodel. Customer service is terrible. They told me to call to Hotels.com to deal with them putting me in a room without partial ocean view which I paid for. You are better off staying at a budget hotel then this hotel. I the quality is there no problem to pay. Not worth what they charge. I would say in its current condition this hotel should rent for about $250/night because it on the beach. If it were remodeled, more.

I don’t use to review, but I must this time. Elevator won’t work, loud noises, facilities basically under construction, room are nice but a little dirty, hairs in bathrooms, some pools closed, they shouldn’t open until they finish, it’s a total scam for the price you pay and what you get.
