a great refurbishment of the entire property. Very classy. Mixed staff quality; some very good. Others appeared to lack interest. Bar service was generally too slow. A few families at the bar were a little noisy on Saturday, which lowered the tone. After a guest questioned one of the guys about their loudness he claimed (loudly) that they had been drinking all day!! I could believe that. The Bar Management had no control.

We have been coming to the Islander for five years every summer to celebrate my son’s birthday. We are fans even before the renovations. This property is very convenient for families and you dont ever have to leave the hotel. Everything is right there and kid friendly. The pool has service with food and drinks. Only until 4PM. The new food truck is OK. However, after so many years of coming to this property they dont have like a rewards program or they dont even have it on their system that we are repeat customers.

This place is fabulous! But ….. First, look on this company’s direct website when booking. You will be misled on pricing through Expedia and think you are getting a better deal from them, you’re not. They show a picture of a room, that was missing a table, chairs & a couch. The resort daily fee ( which is still an amazing amenity) will be at the very end of your transaction which is misleading, so you’ll have really do your homework. Currently on the direct Islander website, under specials you can book your stay AND receive 200 dollars a day to spend on the resort ( food, drinks & items in the gift shop), PLUS they waive your 69.00 resort fee. The property is beautiful, the salt water pool is amazing, staff are waiting on you pool side. So many activities to utilize, kayak, SUP boards, fishing, volleyball, put put golf and fishing. Friday and Saturday they gave out coconuts to drink out. You have a Patio, lounge chairs, your own private patio. Drift food is phenomenal. If we could suggest anything, it would be nice if one pool was adults only. There were some unruly children, with parents who were not interested in taking care of them & management was incredibly apologetic ( however not their fault AT ALL) thank you Josh the manager for being so kind and attention to detail, offering anything to keep the guests happy. Also fyi there’s no hot tub or coin laundry any longer, but they will wash your clothing as a complimentary service. Overall such a great stay! We will be back

This place was amazing! It definitely had a resort feel and was very clean. Even though the beaches aren't the normal tropic island beaches everthing inside the resort made you feel you were on an island. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The parking was free and right outside our room. The room also was immaculate and I never say this, since there is always something I find wrong with the room or bathroom. Overall would stay here again 100% and will recommend to anyone asking. Finally, it was pet friendly which made me love it even more!

Staff was great at check in. When night time came our room became overrun with some type of ants or termites! I called the front desk and my wife and I had to pack and relocate at 3:00 AM!!! No one ever came to check on us, not even in the morning! All we got was a 2-hour extension for checkout from 11:00 until 1:00. Never a call or visit from a manager, NOTHING!!! That's bad business! Seriously disappointing. SMH!!

We were extremely disappointed with the beach access at this resort. There is no real beach—only a set of stairs leading down to rocky, dirty water filled with seaweed and broken pieces of buckets and debris. It was completely unusable and nothing like what was advertised. The dining options were also underwhelming. The food quality and variety left a lot to be desired, and we ended up choosing to eat outside the resort most of the time. Overall, this experience did not meet our expectations, and we would not recommend this resort based on our stay.

Different experience not 5 stars

This will be the second time i stayed at this hotel my first time i gave it 5 stars but this time i chose a different room and the walls and the floor were so dirty my little one couldnt be walking without shoes on because of how dirty the floor was also the bed had a blood stain on the headboard and the sheets were not clean. Honestly disappointed as cleanness is the first thing i look for in any hotel.
