Everything was great! What I really appreciate is when I forgot an important item AvantStay helped return the item.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Everything was great! The beds were not the most comfortable but that’s also a personal preference. The bunk bed has seen better days. My only complaint is that we never received our wristbands for the pools/amenities even after I asked for them, so we weren’t able to use the pools which would have been nice. We still had a great time but would have been nice to have those in the room.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
Great location, fully stocked kitchen and super helpful local recommendations. Only downside was the mattress in the bunk bed room wasn't the best. Otherwise we loved how close this was to the beach!
