I had a wonderful stay at Vanderbilt Beach Resort, enjoying the direct access to the stunning beach and the traditional charm of the property. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made me feel right at home, which added to my experience. I loved the well-kept grounds and the convenient biking options available, though I did find some noise coming from the nearby restaurant and maintenance activities in the mornings, which could interrupt the peace.

While the resort has a prime location right by the beach, there were significant issues with the overall service and room comfort during my stay. The rooms themselves left much to be desired in terms of space and temperature control. On a positive note, the beach area was well-kept, and the beach crew was genuinely friendly, enhancing the overall beach experience. However, the lack of adequate service responsiveness was a noticeable downside.

Rooms

The room was quite small, only featuring a queen bed with two day beds that converted into comfortable sleeping options at night. However, the air conditioning was problematic, making the stay less comfortable overall.

Service

Dining

Dining options were somewhat limited unless you utilized the kitchen facilities available in the room. The food at the Turtle Club was good but needed better planning ahead.

Facilities

The facilities included a lovely beach area and engaging outdoor showers for convenience, but the overall experience lacked some amenities I would expect at this price point.

My stay at the Vanderbilt Beach Resort had its ups and downs. The spacious condos were a highlight, making it comfortable for our group. However, there were issues with a noisy pool environment and some unfortunate beach conditions that detracted from the overall experience. The amenities like laundry and beach access were great, but the customer service left a bit to be desired. Overall, it was a nice getaway, but some improvements could be made.
