Excellent resort.
We arrived just days after two major hurricanes and were delighted to find that the welcome and ambiance were excellent as ever. We naturally had some trepidation before arriving but we needn’t have worried…the Beachcomber family had been working feverishly to get the resort back to its usual state. Although the wider area has undoubtedly had damage, Beachcomber was blessed with very little and in fact our apartment on the beach (Gulf) was exactly as always…pristine condition with all the usual amenities and everything working as normal. Some of the plants were damaged but most of them were reviving after a couple of weeks. The beach has changed and the sea oats have gone but the weather was glorious and we were able to walk, sunbathe, fish and paddle as usual. Searching for sharks teeth, shells and sea glass was very enjoyable. The public beach, with lifeguards present, is open as are the car parks although the North Jetty is damaged and was not open when we were there but you could walk to it along the beach. Restaurants, shops and leisure facilities are open and our local favourite…Pops was back in business after a few days while Pelican Alley is due to open on December 1st.
The Beachcomber is a wonderful resort, spotlessly clean with everything you need for a perfect beach holiday. Beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, outside grill are all provided and many extras will be sourced on request. All the apartments are beautifully furnished and maintained, with fully equipped kitchens, plenty of towels and good quality bedding. Owners, Valerie, Tekla and Robert are meticulous in their hospitality and cannot do enough to make your stay a memorable one. We were there for four weeks and had a wonderful time. If you have any lingering reservations about a stay in this resort, don’t worry…it’s an excellent choice for a relaxing holiday. We thoroughly recommend and will be returning in March.
