ating: This was our first time at Nautilus. Compared to nearby properties for the price, it was average. Our stay began with a distressing incident: we were trapped in the elevator for over an hour on Day 1. Our initial call for help was actually canceled because management was told the elevator was working; thankfully, the local fire department still responded after we made a second call. Despite signs everywhere about "sticky buttons," this was clearly a major mechanical failure. All we received for this ordeal was a verbal apology.Pros:The top-floor view was a 5-star experience, and the location is great for shopping. The resort provides helpful amenities like a small cooler, tote bag, beach chairs, toys, and boogie boards. Beach towels are provided, though you must launder and put them away yourself. Beach service was pleasant, and the walk to the shore is quick.Cons:The property and rooms are dated and in desperate need of repair. The pool is fine but basic. While beach chairs are "included," you must pay an additional 15/day to reserve a specific spot; otherwise, you aren't guaranteed a good location.Verdict:There are better-maintained resorts nearby that offer more value. Between the lack of property upkeep and the poor handling of a safety emergency, I’d only stay here again if everywhere else was booked.
