8/10 Good
"Generally a great stay. Definitely a wonderful location. We had a harbor view room and it was great just to sit on the balcony and enjoy the scenery. All the staff were A+ Our bathroom was a little worn looking and the toilet plumbing needed to be adjusted."

8/10 Good
"For the price the room is kinda small & the tv is quite old but everything else in the room was amazing especially the shower ! The parking was not bad but confusing . There is a public parking structure near by but if you’re staying for more than one day it’s bothersome to figure out the parking situation. They have parking but I think it’s $70 a night :("

"Great stay! We appreciated the cold water dispenser on the floor and fridge and microwave. Room had a modern design and controls for lights etc. It was a very reasonable price during a sale. Property had some older carpet and worn surfaces in common areas."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean and spacious with lots of drawers for storage. Small refrigerator, no microwave. Lots of extra towels, and an extra pillow. Ironing board and iron, nice spa quality toiletries. Parking close to room but shocked at $50/night charge for parking. Gardens and ponds everywhere, beautiful. Lots of squirrels, birds. Gazebos to hang out in. Several swimming pools, but no outside beverages aloud inside. At night, lots of fire pits available. I don’t recommend premium rooms by the bay if you plan on swimming. Sign said bacteria in water swimming not recommended but view is nice, with several fire pits (bring your own wood)."

"Great beachside stay! Be mindful of the surrounding area having a lot of activity into the late evenings -- you can hear all the fun while you try to sleep. No microwave in the room I stayed at, but there are at least ample restaurant choices within walking distance. Overall happy to stay have stayed there and wouldn't mind returning, but not with little kids (because of the evening noise)."
