Aloha Gardens Vacations from ￥270,228

This is our 3rd time here. The other 2 times were in 2012 and 2013. We were amazed how many of the same friendly staff still worked there. We loved the new room remodels ! The only thing that would be nice is a magnified makeup mirror in the bathroom! The food is so good and many options!!

Well run property, great gulf views and friendly staff.

I dined here for brunch a year ago, and decided to return to the Don CeSar this summer as a hotel guest. I had been looking forward to this trip. The hotel is very cute, and the staff are very nice. My only complaint is that they contract out their beach chairs, and the service is shady. They set up their massive cabanas in the front row, and all other beach chairs have to be placed behind the cabanas. They set them up well before 9am, even though the cabana rental period doesn’t begin until 9. If you would like to lay in a chair with a view of the ocean, you must spend $300 to rent a cabana for the day, which doesn’t even include any complimentary snacks or beverages like sodas or juice. It’s just for the view. Despicable. I went down early one morning with a muffin and iced coffee, basically the only person on the beach at 7:45am, I moved my chair slightly over to be able to sip my coffee and watch the waves, and a beach chair employee came over and told me that I can’t move the chairs, they must all be behind the cabana, but that it was too early for me to rent and sit in a cabana. The spa is lovely here, but after spending money at the spa, and all the additional money on food and beverages, I’m not sure I have the patience to be bullied about beach chairs. Just not the 5 star service I would expect from a resort like this one. If you would like a beach front property for the actual beach views, stay somewhere else.

Wyndham Grande is an awesome resort we really enjoyed our stay and all the accommodations.

The property is beautiful and super chic. It’s one block from the beach and they give chairs and umbrella but we had to carry them. The local restaurant is great!
