Very nice resort. Staff was very friendly. Loved that the rental came with chairs and an umbrella. Condo was clean, bed was comfy. Only bad thing I could say is couches could be replaced. They were kinda old and stained. Would definitely stay again though.

This place was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The facility has a lot of rules. No smoking or any type of tobacco anywhere, not even your balcony. They have a designated smoking area in front of the building. I’m not a smoker so wasn’t an issue for me but I figured some may need to know this. There were always ample chairs at the pool and the beach service was very nice.

We always love the Holiday Surf & Racquet Club! This was our first time staying in 516, and we have zero complaints! The Murphy bed was excellent— easy to pull down for the night and put back up for the full living room space. Between that and the bed in the room, my husband and I and our two little ones were able to sleep comfortably. We made wonderful memories together on our trip, and this condo was the perfect home base for us. Thank you!!!
