My stay at friendly was heaven. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was great. The food was WAY better than I was expecting. I have stomach issues and I felt great during my entire stay. I was able to get a massage on the beach every day (Erika is excellent. Not associated with the hotel) The only issue is we found a tiny field mouse in our room on our last night. Maintenance took care of it quickly but it was jarring.

Was at this property in the past it was way better than it is now the food was all the same no selection. There was barely any entertainment. There really wasn’t much to do. It’s really changed. Everything was the same everyday.

Our group of 8 adults had an awesome vacation at Friendly Fun! The staff were great, the food options were varied and very tasty, and the resort is spacious and clean. We spent a ton of time in the adults-only pool, bar, and beach area, which was relaxing, nicely treed to provide some shade, and staffed with a great team of servers and bartenders. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Friendly Fun!

Nice location by the beach. Easy to talk to the ocean. Some of the restaurants were good, others were not so great. Not enough room at the pool for the number of guests. It was impossible to get a cabana since people would reserve one and be gone for hours.

Fabulous staff, very fun busy high activity resort, very family friendly. Great pools, sandy beach. Food was good, spa was great. We were in 11th floor with amazing views. My only issue was the noise leave never stopped. But it was a good excuse to take a walk on the beach.

The staff is stellar. The resort could use a refresh but was a good place to stay- it is central and much is walkable, if not taxis are always available. One does not feel unsafe at all. Annoying is folks that reserve lounge chairs and are seldom in them.

Second time here. Great staff and service. Our room was very large and deck had great views of pool and ocean and mountains. The things we didn't care for was the exceptionally loud music at times during the day and at night but not every night. The beds around the pool were nice but not many. Loungers would make more sense. People take all the beds and loungers on beach and pool by 7am. Didn't like the cigarette smoke wafting into the pool area by the smoking areas. Overall good experience though and would probably go back
