Mary was our main contact and was incredibly helpful. She met with us twice before the event--once to show us the space and again the week before the party to walk through everything after we had booked. The venue is very spacious and can easily accommodate 150-200 guests. The website provides clear information about pricing, logistics, and floor plans, making the booking process straightforward. The location is fantastic--just a few blocks from the beach--with five reserved parking spaces right in front. It's a beautiful venue and a wonderful place to celebrate any occasion.

Very kind, patient ( I asked a lot of questions ), detailed & prompt. Gail was very helpful with our walkthrough of the center and checklist requirements. One thing to note is to be respectful of rules provided to maintain the space as well as the community, the beautiful center is in the middle of a residential area. So please be mindful of others and hold your guests accountable. Overall an incredible experience 10/10. I will definitely plan for other celebrations of life here.

Belamar review…read more Overall a great hotel and , if I can secure a similar great price, I and my family will happily stay again! The highlights: - the staff were wonderful (all around). The front desk staff were courteous at every step in the process (check in, questions throughout stay, following up on a few small issues that occurred) and at checkout. The valet staff were wonderful. They worked REALLY hard to ensure cars were ready in five minutes (often less than that) from when you requested it (via text) and the restaurant staff was very courtesy and the food was good - Valet was quick (I can't emphasize this enough). I was slightly annoyed that it was valet only (with a rental car I get a wary of others driving) however they were fast, courteous, and kept the car cool for me. Also, I recommend paying for valet when you book as I had the option to buy $25/night parking instead of $45/night parking where booking on the Hilton app. - Use of the hotels bicycles was a major highlight. I rented bikes twice. At the time of my stay (May 2026) there were only four bikes. They are first come first serve so I recommend renting in the morning. They had baskets and came with locks and helmets for a very affordable price. The staff (especially Ozzie) was great at getting them quickly rented out to us and showing us the features (they are one speed bikes so they are basic but perfect for cruising along the beach). - The room was spacious, clean, and had a mini bar fridge in it (with the option for a full fridge and access to a microwave near the business center). I appreciated the ability to tip the staff virtually with credit card in case you don't have cash. - The restaurant was convenient, service was good, and the food was good - Noise level wasn't bad, I had a room facing the main road and wished I would have booked a courtyard room, however the noise was barely noticeable and never a disruption (I come from a city where I am use to ambient noise) The not so great things - For late night gym goers, the gym is limited to 6am-10pm (probably because the gym is beside several guest rooms and they want to be courteous to those rooms). However the gym is well stocked small gym (three treadmills, a peloton, and several different racks of weights and areas for stretching) - The hallways smelt a bit dank when I first arrived (although the rooms themselves smelt very fresh) and I noticed several automated deodorizers in the hallways (likely to help with this) and staff were doing a comprehensive carpet cleaning when I checked out so I would expect this not to be the case in the future. - The indoor/outdoor pool was a bit dated and didn't leave much to be desired, but it's an option.. for those who don't prefer the beach and there were towels available.

No parking unless you want to pay for valet. Room AC was not working. Also front desk forgot my…read morelate checkout.

My son was VERY reluctant in the beginning, he's a great swimmer but just apprehensive towards new groups and activities but Coach Kyle and the entire staff were so welcoming and supportive from the beginning. By the 2nd week my son was more eager and engaged and by 3rd week he wanted to show up early and get some practice laps. By the time he had to take the swim test he had so many timed practice sessions under his belt and was well on his way for passing and felt very prepared. He's doing his first Jr. Guards session this summer and already doing great thanks to Coach Kyle and the entire MCC aquatics staff. Cant thank them enough!!

This Club's having recently being caught lying about its responsibility for a serious injury to a…read morechild left in its care at its day-care facility is no surprise. Some months ago I was repeatedly lied to by Club management staff in response to my reporting outages of many of the jacuzzi's jets that rendered the facility essentially inoperative for all but a single user at a time. After being assured that the matter would be addressed, I was told that the wet area's maintenance manager had inspected the facility and found my complaint baseless. When I refused to accept this lie, the member of Club management I was dealing with assured me she would personally inspect the facility and get back to me. She did not. I then asked another member of the Club staff to accompany me to the facility (he did), verify the legitimacy of my complaint (he did), and inform the management staff member I'd been dealing with that he had done so. After this, however, I heard nothing more about the matter, from her or anyone else, for weeks. I had, finally, to take the matter to another member of the Club management staff. This person referred it to the Club's top manager, from whom I finally received an admission that my complaint was legitimate and an assurance that replacements for the dysfunctional parts were on order. So I was hardly surprised to learn, not long thereafter, that this same Club's management had been reported in the news media for lying about its day-care personnel having injured a child in its custody. It seems to be a business practice.

The privacy screen around the tub was cool along with the blue led lighting in the room. The shower was basic but clean and hot, and that is always appreciated. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds in a hotel I have ever experienced. Only down note was they had a private event we did not know about and the bar area and patio were closed, which was unexpected as we wanted drinks so we ordered in room, but not the experience was we had hoped for. Also the noise level was quite loud until 9:45pm but it was over and done at the point. Rooftop pool was on the smaller side, but the area was quaint. We will probably come again!

Michaela responded to emails promptly, was extremely detail oriented, and supportive/reassuring during the entire process considering we were planning this party from out of state. If she didn't have an answer to a question, she was quick to get an answer or find us a resolution. They were open to allowing us to tour the space as much as needed and met with use on a video call to make things easier to plan. Terry and Alice felt like old friends. We were so lucky to have Terry on-site the day of the event, as he was able to manage all technology/sound system questions/concerns. Both assisted whenever needed and their calm demeanor helped buffer my anxiety! The space is perfect for any event, and the team at Big Door is amazing. We loved the versatility of the space, the indoor/outdoor flow, and the creativity it allowed us to have. Even the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with essentials. Thank you guys so much for making our event a party to remember!
