Runaway Bay Beach Vacations

The room was nice and breakfast was good. Didn’t use most of the amenities, but I did go to the beach every day I was there. There is supposed to be a shuttle, however it was mostly unavailable. I walked to and from the beach most of my stay which was about 20 mins each way. On one occasion I called for pick up about a hour ahead of time and asked if the driver could pick me up. I was told “I hope so.” The private beach itself is just “okay.” If you’re looking to do any beach activities, this isn’t the hotel for you as they don’t offer any. The bar isn’t really stocked and there’s no bar tender but they do have beer. Overall, I liked the hotel and the unavailability of the beach shuttle was my only complaint.

My stay had a mixed start; the check-in process was prompt and efficient, and the staff member who escorted us to our room was extremely helpful and informative. However, the overall service quickly became disappointing due to inconsistent professionalism. Throughout our four-day trip, we were repeatedly asked when we were checking out by housekeeping, and interacting with room service made us feel like a burden. After multiple ignored calls to clear away finished meals, we were forced to leave our room service trays outside. Additionally, while the resort is adult-only, the dress code policies felt overly restrictive and illogical, particularly when I was barred from a restaurant simply for wearing a crop top and slip dress despite being appropriately covered. The most frustrating aspect was realizing that the quality of service noticeably shifted based on tipping. Despite these major customer service drawbacks, my partner and I still managed to enjoy our time together, largely because the rooms are spacious and feature gorgeous modern finishes. While I would consider staying here again for the accommodations alone, the staff's professionalism, boundary-crossing questions, and transactional attitude toward service definitely need significant improvement.
