I stayed 2 nights. 11/11/05-11/13/05. Courteous & helpfull people. Oceanfront room was well kept & comfortable. A joy!

We checked in Thursday night November 10th and was very pleased, we had a 3 bedroom unit on the 9th floor. It was very clean and beds were comfortable.
We had the option of parking in the garage which was empty or on the street which we always did and found a spot right out front. We ate breakfast at the cafe and had icecream and starbucks and were pleased with all. Thought this was in a great location for the activities we were doing. We are not golfers!!! We would stay here again in a heart beat. We did not use the pool, but many people were in them and they looked very clean. We did use the lounge chairs on the grass area. Had a non smoking room and smelled not smoke anywhere.

Let me get right to the point,
We stayed here for 4 nights in November 2005. I cannot say anything bad about it. Great location. Everything you need is within a couple miles. 5-7 minute ride from the airport. There was 8 of us on a golf package. Everything went great! People here were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were bigger than expected and had everything you needed. I think we had a Unit X oceanfront room in the Paradise Towers. Again we were 8 golfers ranging in age from 27-40, so our hotel needs were not that high, espicially on vacation but it did the job. (This is not the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton. Pool areas were nice and clean. Not sure what they look like in the heart of tourist season but the hot tubs did the job after playing 36 holes in a day. Papa's restaurant is convenient has a great breakfast before you golf. Maid service did a tremendous job cleaning up after 8 men. For the price, it was well worth it. We will stay here again next year. Highly recommended for golfers at this time of year.

I would have given anything to have read these reviews before I stayed in this dump!! Sooo many people giving this place terrible reviews can't possibly be wrong. Just remember that. My family and I were IN TEARS on this vacation, all due to our stay at the Paradise Tower. After arriving back home, I emailed the General Manager (Mr. Paul Williams) twice and even sent him a certified letter, outlining our concerns. He didn't bother to respond. Just goes to show what type of "resort" he's running. We will NEVER go back to this or any resort run by Paul Williams....a manager who cares about nothing but collecting your hard earned vacation money!!!

On a side note, don't let their website fool you. Here's a quote directly from their site: "Opened in March 2002 this new facility boasts a host of new amenities". This resort WAS NOT BUILT in 2002! It's probably 30 years old, if not more. They obviously bought it from someone else and then opened it themselves in March 2002. Extremely misleading if you ask me. Don't go here excepting a nice, new, clean hotel. Far from it!!

A few examples of what we endured:
1.) Filthy Pools, with things floating in them during our entire stay.
2.) Pot smoking guests on our floor during our entire stay...clouds of smoke every time we got off the elevator. Our children are 1 and 3...not the type of environment for kids. (management said there was nothing they could do about it.....give me a break. Call the cops! After all, it is illegal!!)
3.) Parking garage was ALWAYS full. We had to park across two streets and attempt to carry groceries and two small kids every time we went anywhere. (By the way, their parking garage is across the street from the hotel, so it's not convenient in the first place.)
4.) Rooms are disgusting. They reek of smoke and who knows what other smell. Carpets are nasty, kitchen utensils smell (we refused to use any of them) and overall the rooms are completely rundown.
5.) The wait for the elevators would sometimes span 10 minutes or more. They are extremely small and take forever. The lobby where you wait for the elevators is so small that you feel like a sardine while enduring the never ending wait.
6.) There is nothing appealing about this so called "resort" except the view. But hey, you can get that view from any hotel on the ocean!
