“Bed bugs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

The hotel was suitable for the price, but if we had known it was infested with bed bugs we would have paid $100 for another place (which we did at 2am). After being bitten and inspecting the bed we found the mattress and pillowed were infested with bed bugs. We were only there about 2 hours and hightailed it in the middle of the night and the hotel has been avoiding our calls because we want a refund.

“Avoid unless you like bugs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2012 via mobile

We had three rooms in total:
Very unclean. Dust on fans, furniture, greasy lamp shade, soap scum in bathroom room.
One room saw roaches on a daily basis. I know it's Florida but I live in Miami and I have never seen so many roaches.
Ask clerk to have room serviced and response was "we don't clean rooms everyday".
Probably the only positive note about this resort was the pool and jacuzzi.
Contiential breakfast is a joke.

In closing this place should be called
"the last resort".

“Run, Don't Walk, Away from this "Resort"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2010

While visiting family, we were looking for somewhere close to their home. The Fountain "Resort" was nearby and had good reviews. Upon arrival, the manager greeted us wearing pajama pants and a sweatshirt with a big hole on the chest. That was the 1st sign. We went to our 2 "non smoking" rooms and were knocked over by the smell of cigarette smoke (the butts in the mulch outside the room should have warned us) in 1 room. We asked for another room. The next room did not smell but had a stained bedspread & towels. We settled into the 2nd room, which did not smell, but had a blanket with cigarette burn holes and a nightstand that looked like an ashtray had dumped over and ashes were in the nooks & crannies of the wicker. The bedskirt had ashes on it also. The manager blamed the "blue collar" workers he rented to during the week and not the lack of maintenance or housekeeping for the nasty rooms. The hair dryer & ironing board/iron that were listed in the hotel room amenities, were missing. This was not a "resort" experience. I will never again go to this "resort" or recommend it to anyone.

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 23, 2007

A bit off the beaten path, but worth the extra drive. Very clean and cozy, and a great value. The rooms are pretty basic, but clean, and the bathrooms are good sized, especially the showers. The microwave and refrigerator in each room were a huge plus. The only negative is the lack of a good easy chair in each room to watch TV from or read a book (but you can do the latter outside by the pool or your room quite well!). You can also do some grocery shopping about 6 miles in either direction in Vero beach or Ft. Pierce. There's also a good pizza place in a strip mall about 3 miles towards FP adjacent to the CVS. Also check out the restaurants near the FP courthouse and over the bridge along the road towards the FP beaches and park. And Ray's package store on Rt 1 just after downtown FP is good find as well.

In general, this is a clean, cozy 1950's style motel that's a very good value for the money, in part because of its off the beaten track location. Once you get inside its gates you feel like you're in your own private little sanctuary. It doesn't have any frills, but the owners really appear to stay on top of the maintenance and appearance of the property, both outside and inside. The general manager greets as many of the guests as he can, and the woman in charge of maintaining the rooms not only works hard but is awfully nice as well. I've been coming here for 3 years now for a long weekend of baseball and it hasn't disappointed me yet. The only disconcerting thing is that there is a for-sale sign outside, so I don't know how much longer it will be in business, or at least in business with quality ownership and management it enjoys now, who are willing to continue to invest in the property to offer a clean motel at a good value.

“nice and relaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2007

This was our very first family vacation. We didn't even need to spend money on the area attractions. The children decided they would have just as much fun just enjoying themselves at the resort. The room was like a home away from home. I found every thing very clean and comfortable . The two bedroom was plenty big enough for 6 of us.We cant wait to go back after the new water feature is built.

  • Liked — The room had everything we need to prepare food . The Kids just love the pool.
  • Disliked — There was nothing special about the lake.
