Moldy restrooms, beds had curvature holes in them, not comfortable at all, room smelled, NO HOT water in showers. Dog poop all over sidewalks by doors. Key cards wouldn't work. Hotel attendant had to give us her master key while we stayed there in order to get in and out of our room. Marina view was nice, but that was about the only thing nice about it. Save your $$$ and stay else where. Stairs look to be hazardous, doesn't look safe whatsoever. Sorry 😢

Love to go here just to fish, not a huge fan of staying the weekend because the people get a little too crazy and the parking is TIGHT, so you’ve got to hope the people know how to park. Lowkey wish they charged more to keep some people out, just saying.

Bad Service

Front Desk ladies were HORRIBLE. Charge for every little thing. If you get a condo you still have to pay for EXTRA parking and yet have NO PARKING SPACES. There’s No free breakfast… there’s no hot water… Just simply don’t book here. The rooms do not look like the pictures on the website lmao.

We didn't end up staying because the property was asking for $75 more to stay. We paid for the room online but was still being charge additional fees. I booked the room based on the amount that appears online thinking that was the total.

Upon arriving I was told there would be a $200.00 cash security deposit, which is understandable due to it being sorinbreak. This place charged $20.00 / person to use the swimming pool, when I advised them that we wouldn't be using the pool, we were told the fee still had to be paid. I was then told that there was a $25.00 parking fee to park in their own parking lot, or we had the option to park out in the few spaces provided off the street. The rooms were extremely outdated, the bathroom celing tiles in rm 114 were peeling, the tissue dispenser had rust all over it, the towels felt like you were drying yourself with sandpaper and were extremely old. The worst thing we were subjected to were the super noisy, and outdated mattresses. They even went as far as covering the "free continental breakfast" on their sign. We go to SPI 2 to 3 times a yr. But this place by far, is the worst place my family and I have ever stayed in. You have been warned.

Not a great stay but great location

It is in a very beautiful spot where you just walk to see the water but hotel is not great tiny rusty fridge the bathroom had rust everywhere and mineral build up shower still had hair the towel bar was coming out the wall. Tons of fees I didn’t know about when booking like guest fees for ppl to just come on property and you as a guest staying also 25 dollar fee for a bracelet to get back on property. 35 dollars to park your car this was not mentioned when I checked out very ridiculous taxations which I think is illegal with out posting anything when you check out online or as you check out in the office I paid 110 in extra fees on top of my hotel stay and a 200 cash deposit no other form just cash so had to go to atm on top of the fees and pay more fees to get cash. I had no wash clothes and hot tub don’t work and both pool and hot tub pretty cloudy dirty chairs to sit on by pool. The tv remote didn’t work w the tv for 2 nights we watched our phones because nobody came to fix it only thing good about it was the location and clean sheets.

The fact that they do not put all of the fees until you get there is absolutely ridiculous!! Thinking you have paid for your stay and when you arrive they throw hundred dollar fees when you arrive is insane! Will not ever stay at wind water ever again! And I have stay at several places on the island and have never had this happen to me! Every year on spring break my family and I come but this year was the worst!!

Pictures look great until you get there and the rooms are nothing like the pictures. It was a place to stay more or less. Nothing more. Much less. It was shelter. The maintenance and cleaning staff were super nice. The hotel management staff not so much
