We enjoyed our vacation! Room was immaculate however we did not realize we would be on the 2nd floor. Thankfully it wasn't any higher. A family oriented establishment with activities going on throughout the day. Staff was extremely helpful and our food service was fantastic.

Everything was fine except the first room they gave us was with cockroaches dead like 7 or 8 but we went back to the lobby and they were very nice and change our room. The other thing that we didn’t like was the beds, they are extremely hard. Everything else was fine. Very familiar and relaxing.

The room was clean but pretty bare for a condo u it. The bed we had has pretty hard. The couch was stiff as a board. The bathroom only had one sink and the only mirror in the whole place. The Staff were great. Beach view was great. Only ate breakfast once at the restaurant and it was not that good and very expensive. Should have know it was not as good as we were the only ones in there.

You need to update furniture very uncomfortable couch and chair and the utensils were sparse ie knives were dull. Maybe have scissors for customers to use. Ie opening certain items bought during trip. Staff was great no room service opted out of that. No breakfast on site that would have been nice but did have Starbucks coffee and pastry’s.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel is spotless, recently renovated, and offers excellent amenities. The unit es modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. I also want to recognize the front desk team (specially Terry) for their outstanding service. We experienced an issue with the range, and they responded immediately, resolving quickly and very courteously. Great service, great facilities, and great stay overall. Highly recommended. Book a teppanyaki dinner in Shima Restaurant.!!!

We will be coming back for sure!! We had an awful time getting down there because of our flights. The staff there felt so bad for us they upgraded our room, which honestly was just an added bonus that put our stay over the top. If that had not of happened, and we had our room that I had originally had booked, I would still give them 5 stars! Because it was a wonderful resort, perfect location, lots to do, pool is amazing, lots of add ons and activities. I just can't say enough about this place. We took a family of 5 we had people who love the beach and people who love the pool this resort is perfect for both types of vacationers!

Absolutely stunning property and great location! We used the resorts biked and road around the island exploring its beauty. The pools (there’s many) were so refreshing! There was just so much for the everyone to do. They loved the seashell station after walking the beach to find shells. Would love to come back to this charming island again. Room was also super clean and big!!

I stayed at this property with my husband for almost a week. Super quick walk to the beach from our room and the hotel provides chairs and umbrellas. Our favorite amenity was the bikes that they let you check out. We rode the bikes all over the Island and it was wonderful. The staff refreshed our towels every day while we were out so that was really nice to come back to. The only negatives are that there was only 1 mirror in the room and it was in the bathroom and the TV was hard to navigate at first. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay at Sundial.

This resort is best for families. The beach is brimming with shells, the pool is perfect for kids and adults. Everything feels clean and new. Really nice to have food options on site. I recommend ordering groceries for delivery from Jerry’s. We loved the access to bikes and tennis. And the fitness center was great too.
