Looked dirty and just needs some attention to pressure washing the building and pool definitely needs a good cleaning. Not many places to park and parking lot needs so TLC as well. But over all my family and I had a decent stay.

This was our 5th stay at the Beachcomber and it is our last. It has gone downhill in so many levels. The safety security gates to the pool and beach did not work. Gates were left open all the time. The pool was filthy. The rooms are dirty, the shower curtain had an unmentionable stain and dirt on it. The tap would not turn off and the toilet was smelly. The carpet in the bedroom was constantly damp and wreaked. The fridge door would not close. We payed for a seven night stay and left on day five as we never received clean towels or toilet paper. Our trash was not removed and bathroom cleaned. The staff were polite but never followed through with our clean towels request. All in all, our vacation was ruined due to the hygiene at the location. We will never return and I believe Expedia should not sell rooms here on your site

Going to start by saying we got the room because a potential hurricane was to hit the next morning. We booked a room with jacuzzi. Upon arrival we were informed that the room type we requested and paid for was not available due to housekeeping not having to work because of the hurricane. We would have been more understanding but the same room type was available the night before, however we decided to arrive a day later. So we were downgraded, free of charge. And person on duty had to email the manager to discuss the difference in price between the room we booked and the room we occupied. (Still waiting on the response to that email, btw) Finally, about to get the room key to our standard room WITHOUT jacuzzi, after paying for the room plus taxes and fees online. I was hit with a security deposit. So I was informed we won't be getting the keys until the deposit requirements were met. This would have been understandable, however the difference in price between what we paid for vs the room we were getting would have covered said deposit. Overcoming the check in obstacles we entered first room we were supposed to stay in. To find the bed broken, kitchen cabinet doors off the hinges and broken, holes in the walls and doors, the poo fan in the bathroom hanging out of the ceiling and the aroma of fresh sewage strong in the air. From the balcony an absolutely beautiful view
