Hidden Dunes Gulfside 502 - Gulf front and updated

Location! Can’t beat that view!

The umbrella/chair rentals taking up all of the beach. There was short shaved hair all over the shower upon arrival. A few things need maintenance. (Broken dishwasher)

Everything

Nothing

Likes: Location - right on the beach, by the outlet malls, and by the music venue we were going to Multiple pool options Ease of check-in and check-out Security Availability of gas grills Overall was very quiet Ample seating at the pool Dislikes: Outdated building The hot tub was gross and discolored I never saw a person working there, with the exception of the security guards at the gate. We had a few questions and no one was around the entire time. Igniters for all the gas grills don’t work No on-site food/drink locations like other resorts typically have. We ended up walking to the Hilton down the beach and eating/getting coffee there. Cost ended up being ~$600/night after all was said and done. Additionally you have to pay for chairs on the beach. When we were there you weren’t allowed to swim in the ocean the entire time. Not their fault, but I’ve never seen that at another beach before and it was disappointing after money spent. In hindsight I wish we would have rented one of the cottages or condos on the pond instead of gulf side. We were only at this location for 3 nights, so it was totally fine; however, I don’t think I would have wanted to be there for a whole week.
