We were checking in on Thursday at 4 pm. After flights and an Uber to the property, we went to check in at 348. We were told our room wasn't ready yet which was understandable since we were 12 minutes early. Then we were told the a.c. broke in our room and were not given a time frame. Our luggage was taken when we walked in so we couldn't get out our swimsuits to go to the pool. Instead, we had to wait in the lobby for approximately an hour. We received a small discount to make up for the inconvenience. A different room or a free night would have been preferable. We eventually got into our room and it was quite underwhelming. I paid a little extra for a view of the marina. The marina had construction equipment t in it and the resort property was semi-obstructed by a lower roof. The room itself was clean but very dated. A light was missing the cover and had an exposed bulb. The screws in the show rod holder were mostly out. The bathroom had marble floors which were stained brown around the toilet. The pillows on the bed were not good. The mattress was good. We decided to have dinner at the resort restaurant which was the only on-site option. The service was good however the food was again, average. My wife and I both had chicken which was bland and lacked most of the sauce. The gnocchi was very chewy. The drinks were good though.
The second day we had a golf outing to the country club. The course was exceptional. I was not given a choice of a caddy so we had to take one with us. He was great, although not needed. There wasn't a point where I felt it added what the cost was. (95 tip plus a fee.) The outing was very good, just quite pricey.
After golf, we took our shuttle to the beach club. Overall the beach club was good. Not great, just good. The pool is 4 feet deep in one section the rest is 2 feet. There is no adult section so we found ourselves bombarded by kids most of the time. The service was very good. Upon leaving the club we took the shuttle back to the hotel. A drunk man was belligerent and tried to fight a few of the guests. This made my wife feel unsafe and we chose a different shuttle. It seemed the staff was more accommodating to the drunkard than the people who were harassed, my wife included. The next day we spent the whole day at the beach club. We have a beach section. The service was wonderful. The view was ok. Each section of rows lines up directly behind the one in front like a grid. I wish they had the sections staggered so we could see the water better.
We chose to stay because of the location and had been to the area before and enjoyed it. For what we paid I would not stay here again. It was several thousand dollars, about 3k, for the weekend for a king-size room with a "marina view." On top of the food and drink it was quite expensive. I did not feel the food, the quality of the room, and the issues we had made it worth the price. The golf and beach club were nice and made it an overall good trip. I would not come back though.
