Placido Bayou Vacation Packages

Super clean, beautiful unit! The staff was absolutely amazing and courteous at every turn. We found our home when we are in the area.

Rooms were wonderful

2/5 stars — Avoid: False advertising, poor conditions, and dishonest billing We booked 5 nights at the Avalon but left after 3 due to a string of issues. The "beachfront" view advertised on their website was misleading — in reality, our room overlooked a public parking lot, with the actual beach a few hundred feet beyond that. Amenities weren't much better: the towels and pool/beach chairs were worn out and old, despite an extra $40/day charge to use them. The shower grout was visibly moldy and the sofa looked like they got it off of a curb. After complaining to Expedia about these issues, I received an email from the resort at 5am on day two saying they'd refund our stay, but that I needed to check out by noon that same day or be charged for an additional night. I was off-property in Orlando at the time and couldn't make that window. When I returned, I told the front desk I'd be checking out the next morning at 11am (making it 3 nights total), and they simply said "ok" — no objection, no mention that this would affect the refund. Despite that, I was billed for the full 5 nights. When I called to dispute it, they claimed that because I didn't check out on the exact day specified in their 5am email, they were no longer honoring the refund. Between the false advertising, dated amenities charged at a premium, and a resort that goes back on what its own staff acknowledged, I would not recommend staying here.
