The balconies are gorgeous--the higher floor this time has a better view above the palm trees. Both times we've been here have been in January, so we haven't been able to use the outdoor pools or the lazy river. The indoor pool is large! There's a great game room, a movie theater, and a gym on the property. Everything is access-controlled, so you feel safe. Getting to the beach is about a 5-minute walk. This is a beautiful place! We booked through Ryson Vacation Rentals both times. Great communication, easy check-in and check-out process.

I want to share our experience with Pelican Pointe as well as Sand and Sea rental management…read morecompany for the weekend of 2/19 to 2/22/2026. Pelican Pointe is tired and needs resuscitating. As you arrive you notice rusted screws, nails and bolts that are staining the exterior surface. This makes one wonder about the integrity of the structure. The living room chairs and rugs are stained and dull. The laminate floor is cracked near the dining table and an edge is sticking up. The windows have water and weather streaks. The skillets are terrible as food sticks to them and they are difficult to clean. The saucepans are nice. The dishwasher has parts falling out from under the machine. The primary suite toilet paper holder was loose and wiggly. The bar b que pit has seen better days. I would think Sand and Sea would insist the house be in better condition for guests but this lack of desire for a sterling experience spills over into their lack of guest amenities. I have stayed in many airbnbs, vrbos, and realty managed properties across the U.S. This is one of the worst. It is poorly cleaned. The refrigerator smelled like fish. Food crumbs and particles were found in the utensil drawers. Cobwebs were observed under the kitchen counter. It is not adequately stocked with basic necessities. Sand and Sea provided a welcome pack of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bar of hand soap and a make up remover pad. They do NOT provide bath soap nor gel. While my husband was showering with the bar of soap, I was washing my face with shampoo. More alarming is the lack of anti bacterial soap in the kitchen. If one is to wash their hands before handling food, they will wash their hands with the soap they just used in the shower and cleaned their genitals with. Being a medical professional, this is not hygienic. I asked for anti bacterial soap and bath gel during our stay but was told they were not provided. Yes, the home does have a coffee machine but bring your own K cups, sugar and crème. These are not provided. Also bring salt and pepper. These are not provided. Bring your own insect repellant as mosquitos swarm the area. Guests are expected to take out the trash upon leaving but none of the bathroom trashcans had trash liners so the guest has to take the kitchen trash bag from under the sink and go to each bathroom trash can and empty into the larger trash bag. We stayed for 2 nights and were provided 1 towel each. Again, being a medical professional, a fresh towel after each shower is needed. Yes, I could have gone to another bathroom's towel supply but if all capacity guests were present, still only 1 towel for multiple nights. There were some positives about this property. The view of the water was nice. The beds were very comfortable. The downstairs lamps have touch on/off and have integrated charging stations. It was a short walk to the beach. The negatives fully outweigh the positives on this property. I will not be coming back. I will never use nor recommend Sand and Sea again.

I have stayed in nicer hotels in Mexico. Also, when we tried getting someone to wait on us at the pool and the Blake Restaurant, they basically ignored us until we said something. Also, the food was mediocre at best as well. It had no flavor. Also, we were told that the Steakhouse was closed on Sundays by two different employees. Come to find out, it was not closed after all. They need to get all of their employees on the same page. Also, we were never greeted when we arrived as well as when we left. We won't be staying here again. Since we paid alot for a two night stay, the hotel should have been excellent.

Expect when you go to the spa to be overbilled the following day for the next level service you did not get. Expect the spa to further bill you for an automatic 25% tip you did not approve.

Upon arriving late at night, we found the main entrance extremely difficult to locate…read more Upon further inspection of the room description, it's mentioned that we'll "climb a set of stairs." But upon opening the main door with our 8 suitcases, our 2 kids and my elderly parents who rented the room across from ours, we were frozen in shock. They mention the convenience of this room when preparing for a cruise, but not being EXPLICIT about the lack of elevator is deceiving, when most people arriving for a cruise will be bringing a lot of luggage. On our second day, my husband had to assist another woman with her bags who said she was also shocked to find no elevator as it wasn't obvious when booking. She said she nearly cried when she opened the door and saw only a flight of stairs. The condition of the loft was rough. The bathroom was pretty horrible. The sink had no stopper. My back had to touch the wall of the shower just to keep the shower from hitting me in the face. The water smelled horrible and was undrinkable and there was no water pressure at all. It was old and felt dirty. There was no tv in the main bedroom, which was surprising. And to say "there may be noise," is also deceptive. The sirens for the nearby hospital blared all night and we listened to cars racing and burning out on the street outside our room. The bed was as hard as a rock and the pillows were like pancakes with no support at all. The blanket wasn't much thicker than the sheet. The blinds on the windows were inadequate, light was pouring into the loft regardless if they were open or closed and some were nearly impossible to operate because the sticks were too high to reach. My parents and my family left exhausted and desperate for a good shower and peaceful night's rest. I would not recommend this loft to an enemy and wish they would have been more honest in their description. The only positives I can give is good communication leading up to the stay, and we loved the location, in terms of proximity to shopping and the cruise terminal. But if we had stayed there much longer, we would have ended up in that same hospital that kept us up all hours of the night in the psychiatric ward.

In fact, they then tried to send an exterminator and plumbing during our vacation instead of doing the right thing and refunding us. We lost a whole vacation day moving into a lower quality unit.
