Varför människor älskar det
- Washer/dryers in Junior Suites and up (a lifesaver for families)
- Direct beach access with a surprisingly relaxed, unpretentious vibe
- Planet Kids club is included in the resort fee, not an extra $100/day charge
Snabb Överblick: It’s a glorified high-end condo complex where the housekeeping is hit-or-miss and the walls are thin enough to hear your neighbor’s late-night decisions.
Recenserat av @kddtravel: I stayed in this suite and honestly, the ocean view from the balcony is unreal. The room is super spacious, and having a kitchenette made our mornings so much easier. It’s the perfect spot if you want luxury without feeling cramped. Highly recommend requesting a high floor!

Insider-tips
- ✨
Walk across the street to the plaza for 'Porterhouse Bar & Grill' or 'Matula’s' for normal-priced food.
- ✨
The 'lap pool' is usually much quieter than the main grotto pool if you want to escape the kids.
- ✨
Ask for a 'microwave' if your standard room doesn't have one—they are standard in suites but hit-or-miss in basic rooms.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The elevators can be a nightmare during peak times (15+ minute waits).
💡The 'kitchenette' in standard rooms is basically a wet bar; you need a suite for a real kitchen.
💡You have to wear a wristband to access the pool and beach.
💡The hotel has a history of pool closures due to health inspections (2018), though recent reports are cleaner.
💡There is active roadwork and construction on Collins Ave (near 178th St) that can cause traffic jams getting in and out.
