I know it was hot, but our air conditioner could not keep up. We went and bought a fan to help out. Parking is never good at this place..
The pool is so warm and we loved our stay. The tiki bar was cute and the beach was close.

The pictures are deceiving.the first room they gave us was by the active road and we peed in toilet and it stopped up and it took them over 2 hours to bring us a plunger. I asked if they could move us to another room with a view which they moved us for extra 60 bucks . Theat room had a view of the beach beds was hard and someone was playing loud music and unattended kids and we had to park across the street bc limited parking. They don't offer house keeping if stay over and if you ask them for anything they get an attitude with you. The pool steps was broken on one side of the pool and the tiki bar was never open it did open for about 1 hour but never again. The motel needs updated and painted and show real pictures of the rooms for the price you pay for it .some of the staff was friendly.

Great place for the price. It wasn’t the best place we’ve stayed but for the price and convenience. It was nice. The grounds needs some attention. There were minor issues but nothing major. We would stay here again. The room was decent. Location is great. Loved the beach area. To our left and right was packed!! From the high dollar high rises. But ours was excellent and not crowded at all ! A huge plus for us! The chair guy was super kind and accommodating. Everyone we dealt with at the property was very helpful and kind. Only disappointment was we wanted to extend our stay and they said we couldn’t add an additional night.
The pool was the only clean area. The rooms were terrible and outside was too. No help! The only food is restaurants and delivery. You can buy snacks in lobby but that was it. The beds were okay but we couldn't get the sheets changed when asked.

The staff was really friendly and pleasant. It was easy to book and when I called to confirm I got in contact on the first call and they had my info. The room was mostly clean and while the shower was a little dated I had a great water view and the beds were very comfortable. Worth it and would go back again.
I had to switch rooms because the first room appeared not to be cleaned fully. The towels were not folded. They were looking as if they were used from the previous person. The bathroom had mold the TV didn’t work. It wasn’t connected to the Internet. You can smell the mold throughout the room.
Parking was not the best but its like that with most all the beach front properties. For the age of the building it was in pretty good shape. Ceiling had some stains but is to be expected with a pool/ocean near by i guess.
I didn't get the room I requested with a kitchenette, but the stay was still absolutely wonderful.. I wish there was more parking available with the resort instead of limited parking with the rest across the street, but that was not a big issue. I still would recommend Bikini Beach Resort and would definitely stay again. The view from our room was wonderful.
I love that the property was on the beach and it was close to everything me and my fiance wanted to do. We had an amazing time and the view was amazing.
The room was very small for the price. Lighting wasn't good at all. Also when in the bathroom the light switch is behind door and you have to go all the way in bathroom and shut door before you could get to the switch. Ants all over balcony.

It had a great view of the beach! The hotel itself was old and outdated, beds wasnt that comfortable but the view made up for it. It was very noisy and even though i dont drink, the bat closed at like 4pm. Everyone there was complaining about that. Overall, the hotel itself is mmmmhhhh... but the gulf and beach view are great!

No bugs . It was a clean room. It had a great kitchen but needed a bigger refrigerator. It was set up up great. Great view of ocean. Things I didn't like. TV was broken when arrived and they replaced it. Refrigerator was froze up but we had to unplug for 2 hours he said and so it worked after that. Comode handle had to jeld down yo flush. Usb port on lamp didn't work. Outlet behind nightstand wasn't secure to wall. Outside door to balcony needed some TLC. Sink stopper didn't work.
