The hotel offers an exceptional beach experience with well-maintained facilities and comfortable rooms. The proximity to the beach is a highlight, although noise from the neighboring restaurant and maintenance can detract from the tranquility at times.

My stay at the Vanderbilt Beach Resort was a delightful experience, highlighted by its direct beach access and spacious accommodations. The cleanliness of the property added to the overall comfort, and the staff went out of their way to assist, making it a memorable getaway. However, the pool area felt crowded at times, and noise from weekend parties detracted from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. Overall, it offered great value for a beach vacation.

Staying at this resort was an absolute delight! With direct access to the beach and the beautiful Turtle Club on-site, my family had a memorable vacation. The rooms were spacious and very well-kept, but I wouldn't mind a larger bed next time. It's convenient to have bike rentals available, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this place is ideal, although the noise from fellow guests during weekends can be a little disruptive.
