I expected a lot from this hotel given its stunning location and the impression it gives from the outside. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and beach access is fantastic, but the service and room conditions left much to be desired. While the dining options had potential, my experience was marred by poor service and cleanliness issues. It's definitely not ideal considering the prices they charge.

Rooms

The room was not in great shape; I found it dirty with hair in the bed and cigarette litter on the balcony. It definitely needs more attention to cleanliness.

While the hotel's outdoor areas are well-kept, the overall condition of the facilities, especially in the rooms, needs significant improvements.

We had a lovely stay at the Bellwether Beach Resort during Memorial Day weekend. The location is fantastic with great views of the Gulf and plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, but the pool area could use some upgrades. Overall, it's a great place to unwind with beautiful sunset views, although there's room for improvement in the pool facilities.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the stunning Gulf views and the great beach access. The food at both Bongos and Spinners was delicious, and the service was generally friendly. However, the rooms could use some updates, and I experienced slow service during peak times. The resort fee felt a bit steep given the lack of hot tubs and fitness facilities, but I would definitely consider coming back for the oceanfront experience.

I had a really mixed experience at this hotel. The location right on the beach is fantastic, and the beach cabanas are a highlight. However, the service was lacking, especially at the beach bar, where I felt completely ignored. The noise issues we faced at night were quite disruptive, which made our stay less enjoyable overall. While the beach is beautiful, I don't think I would return due to the service and noise problems.

The resort provided a memorable experience with stunning sunset views from Spinners, and the beachside bar service was a delightful perk. While I appreciated the restaurant variety and comfort of the rooms, the service could use some improvements, especially in terms of consistency. The lack of regular housekeeping was noticeable, and I did encounter some issues with my billing that required follow-up. Overall, it was a good stay, but with a few kinks that could be smoothed out.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious, featuring good quality bedding and essential amenities like a fridge and microwave, but some areas seemed a bit dated, particularly the bathrooms.
