First and foremost, I appreciate the security. As an elderly couple, leaving and arriving from a function in the late evening reassures us the safety protocols adds to our peace of mind. Secondly, the times I have called or texted for any issue, I receive quick and prompt response. Customer service professional. Housekeeping keeps the room as spotless as possible. Appreciate that. Also, all the appliances, air, toilet works. Never had an issue in this room. Last, the maintenance of the grounds is impeccable.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We’re truly glad to know that the security, quick responses, and overall upkeep helped make your stay comfortable and stress-free.

Clean and Great Space for a Family with 2 small children

Reviewed on 2024-08-05 by Lisa

Overall

We have stayed at the Island Retreat Resort the past 2 years and have had 2 great experiences. This specific unit was very clean and perfect for our family of 4. I have 2 small children so having double beds was fine since one parent slept with one kid. It seemed bigger than our unit last year since this one had a seating area with a sofa. It had a great view to the water with a balcony which was just bonus. Kitchen was pretty, clean and had everything we needed to cook a few things. I did bring my own seasonings but there was salt/pepper there already. The price was also perfect compared to the other unites which is why I picked it in the first place. Not sure why but the size was perfect for us. We will definitely pick this unit again if the price remains.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at Island Retreat Resort! We're thrilled to hear that you had two fantastic stays with us. It warms our hearts to know that our unit was perfect for your family, offering the cleanliness and comfort you needed.
The seating area with a sofa and the stunning water view from the balcony are indeed special touches, and we're glad you enjoyed them. It's great to hear that the kitchen met all your needs, making it easier for you to prepare meals for your family.
We're delighted that you found the price to be just right and that it played a part in your decision to choose our unit. We strive to offer the best value and are pleased to know it was a perfect fit for you.
Your kind words and detailed feedback inspire us to continue providing exceptional experiences for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and ensuring that everything is just as wonderful as you remembered.

Overall

The location was great; easy access to pool and beach. The room was fairly priced, so a good value. It was quiet, yet close enough to town to where most things were a 3-5 minute drive away. The unit was just big enough for 2 adults and 2 small children. We really enjoyed our stay.Cons about the unit specifically: We could not get the ceiling fan working. Maybe the remote needs a battery change? Also, the carpet is completely filthy. It needs a good cleaning or to be replaced all together.

The view was absolutely breathtaking. Best part of the room. I don’t like complaining but the shower was gross, the shower head was really really low and falling off the wall. Then the last 2 days of our stay they were doing construction on the unit next to us. And our last day someone was drilling into the ceiling of the stairs while I was trying to get my stuff packed. I wanted to relax and take my time leaving, but I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
