This beach has a lot of people and is always packed and is very friendly and loving. You see people everywhere you go and everyone is so nice. The beach was amazing and it has many spots around it to each. I had a lot of fun swimming with my brother and friends.

Staff was helpful and very nice. They set everything up for us. There were enough chairs and umbrellas available. Chaurs are free and umbrellas were under $30, which is reasonable. We stayed for several hours and staff made a point to check in frequently.

Franco at the pool was amazing he was very attentive to our every needs his service was wonderful ……my suggestion for by the pool is to get more options for flotation devices in the pool. My overall experience at this hotel is ok I do feel for the amount of money that you pay, you should be able to lay on beds as well as the beach chairs. I can understand have to rent a gazebo, but I do feel like you should be able to lay on the beach bed by the pool. A lot of stuff is overpriced at this hotel when Acosta stay here is already high Read less

For a “luxury hotel” I’d say this Is pretty mediocre. The hotel does not pay attention to fine details. The light in the bathroom was broken. The comforter was ripped. Despite paying high prices for the room, there is a beach charge for umbrellas. Finally they tried to sneak a bar charge on which was totally fabricated! Would not come back

Beachside at the Fountainebleu was the best! Haley was an amazing server and made sure our family had everything we needed at the beach! The food, drinks service, accommodations and atmosphere were incredible. We can’t wait to come back!!
