The pictures of this hotel on the internet are of the resort next door not the hotel, you while staying at the hotel cannot use any of the resorts ammenities including the POOL! The ceiling in the rooms is a disgusting mildew drop in ceiling that if you lift the tile up you can see that the walls dont go... more

First off upon check in the customer service was as rude as they come. The man never greeted me and treated me as if I was not worthy of respect. Parking was not adequate, is an understatement to say the least. The room was filthy completed with a moldy, rusty refridge along with poodles of urine at the base of... more

This is a run down hotel on a great beach. Rooms are small, dingy and ammenities are few. It happens to be the host hotel for Ironman Florida and this is the ONLY reason you would stay here. I'm sure there are many better alternatives in this overbuilt area. more

My friends and I had the worst experience ever when staying at Boardwalk Hotel (Not Condo's). There were roaches everywhere. They sent maintenance up to spray our room and boy did that drive them out of every crack and crevice. Phil at the front desk did not sound shocked nor appalled by our infestation issues. He could have cared less... more

My Husband and I had the worst experience ever when staying at Boardwalk Hotel (Not Condo's). There were roaches everywhere and the quicker you killed 5 of them, 5 more wouled appear. After complaining, we were moved to the Condo's on the same property. Lovely.....Again, don't get the hotel mixed up with the Condos on the same property. more

I never write reviews. But I just can't let this go by. The rooms were small. Our family was running over each other. No hot water in shower. The ice bucket was missing, but didn't matter because the machine was out of service. My pillow case was stained. The carpet had not been vaccumed. It was so noisy we barely... more

This is the hotel section of the resort, not the highrise condos. There is no sharing of facilities with the condos since those are rented out by the owners and access is restricted to the renters. Our friends stayed at the condos which are better equipped but do not include daily housekeeping or breakfast. Our hotel room faced the gulf... more

Just got over a serious illness of my own and I am a constant care taker for my adult daughter with autism, mental retardation and a heart condition and various other health issues. Really depressed and needed a break. I was going to be off work on Friday, July 3, 2009 and thought it would be a good idea since... more

I am currently staying at Boardwalk Beach Resort and just comment on what a wonderful place it is to stay. Check-in was a breeze, we even got into our room 2 hrs early. The resort is one of the cleanest places I have ever had the luxury of staying in. There is someone always cleaning, floors, windows, ect. The staff... more
