We had a great time and would definitely go back which I hardly ever say. The condo was so spacious and the wrap balcony with view of the Gulf was amazing. The hotel amenities were not all open, but it did not matter because there are so many amazing restaurants and bakeries within easy walking distance. The pool bar and cafe was really convenient and good. The chair service was excellent- such nice people ran it! There was a funky odor (dog?) when we got there, but I sprayed pet Lysol I bought across the streets and opened the balcony doors and it was completely gone. There is a washer and dryer which was nice to have too. Communication was easy. It is an older unit and it showed, but I spoke with an owner of another unit who said the management is renovating each unit. It was a nice vacation- Sunny Isles is laid back and beautiful.

For travelers looking for a VRBO, I would Not recommend this!!! It is Not a VRBO rental. It is a timeshare through the hotel. There was ZERO communication regarding the checkin process. No one contacted me at all. I called the hotel panicking the day of checkin, at which time I was told to just check in the hotel as normal. No one contacted me to give that information. Secondly, you will not be provided with the normal conveniences of a VRBO. It is a hotel room suite. You are provided 5 place settings, a knife, and a couple pans. No extra conveniences! Not even salt and pepper. I would NOT recommend this place as a VRBO! It was my worst VRBO experience. It is simply a hotel.

They need to work more on cleaning services.

-The location was great, with a great beach area. -The staff was very friendly and helpful. -The hotel was good. We would consider staying there again, but only directly through the hotel itself. -The VRBO room however was dated, beat up and in rough shape. Other than the view it was sub standard in all other aspects in my opinion. It did the job, but we would not stay in this room again.
