Our condo was very clean, beds were comfortable, the restaurants were great and all the staff on the property that we spoke with in person were great. A very fun shelling beach and many other amenities. Any kitchen utensil that we needed was there. Here's what didn't work: 1-We were told that maid service was every three days when we checked in. We assumed that, at minimum, that meant replacing the used towels at least once. We did not have any maid service during our six day stay. 2-There was only ONE kitchen towel. There really should 3-4! We chose to do our few dishes by hand, only running the dishwasher once, right before we left.

We very much enjoyed our stay here and will return. We came only for one night w/ two kids. There were fun activities for the kids (and adults) by the pool. We got up early and went looking for shells on the beach which was a big hit! The only issues we had were that 1. we booked a king bed but got a double and this is important bc my 4year old gets in bed with us every night so things were very tight. And 2. The mattress was somehow so loud! Every time someone rolled over or got out of bed, I was up. So, I would request a different room next time but would come back bc of the great staff, location, fun pool time with the kids and the beautiful beach.

Really great to see property coming back to life after getting hit hard by hurricane Ian a few years ago. The room I stayed in was brand new and very nice. Staff was polite, responsive, and helpful. Great pool area with plenty of seating, drink/food service at your chairs, and the kids loved the water slide. The hibachi restaurant on property was a lot of fun as well.

Resort was very clean. Staff were very friendly. Received $180.00 food/ service credit on arrival because some of the resort areas are under renovation because of the Hurricane last fall. My room was so nice and the bed was luxurious. Beach was beautiful!!!

It was very loud early mornings to late afternoon The people were friendly, we were in an area that was barely finished The beach was fantastic as always for the money we spent it was not worth it because of the area of the room .

The pool/beach area was amazing! The poolside service was awesome. My only concern was me a senior and friend staying with me a senior were assigned a 4 th floor room with no elevator. It took almost an hour to find a space that had an elevator. Jared the security guy was so helpful. Then for check out the system evidently had an issue and tried to charge me for what I had paid for on Expedia. Loved the resort not the service or convenience

We just spent 5 days. 4 nights with Sundial and would defiantly stay there again. It was clean, staff was attentive and friendly, our condo had plenty of space for our family of 4.

Not for older adults. Our unit was about 3blocks from the beach. The unit had a queen bed , very low toilet and a very high walk-in shower. About an 8inch step up into the shower with no grab bars. No towel bars-where do you put wet towel s? No balcony or lanai. We paid a lot for this disappointing stay.

Long wait to get checked in. Then we didn’t like the room so we paid to upgrade. Again took a long time and once we got to the room it was not clean, stains on carpets, light bulbs out, mold around showers. Not what we expected. There was a wedding going on so it was also very busy with those guests. Pool was over crowded.
