1) Parking was right outside our room. That was fine.
2) Yes there were shops for food, drinks and shopping which we enjoyed.
3) Staff was friendly.
4) The room its self was below standards. It do not replicate the room in the booking pictures at all. I choose the upgraded room at the time of my booking. I actually booked 2 rooms as one for me and one for my parents. Both our rooms just weren’t clean. The fridge had rust on the outside, The toilet had mold in it, the shower grout had missing pieces and cracking. The master bed was so “v’d” in the middle I had to sleep on the couch so my wife could be comfortable. Also the vertical blinds were plastic an also several of them were broken which makes it look very junky.

I chose the upgraded room and they were just so disappointing. We were both on the second floor in th “A” building. I was able to see rooms on the first floor that were much more modern and actually looked like the pictures I was believing I booked. I feel like if all rooms aren’t the same then the pictures need to be of the actual room. It is very deceiving and unfair. I booked this for my mom’s 70th birthday so I was taken back.

We’ve stayed here 5 years in a row and this condo by far was the dirtiest, bed mattress should have been replaced 5 years ago, refrigerator and stove were rusty , air conditioner made a strange noise that kept us up all night .
Asked for a room closer to the street because my wife has a bad foot ( broke at this place a few years ago ) was told no but we could drive to the front of the building and park there
Time to look for a new spot

Staff was very friendly. There were no rooms on the first floor, they were all being remodeled. No elevator to the 2nd floor. Was a little rough getting up and down the stairs from recent back surgery. The room was clean except for under the beds and around the molding on the refrigerator. Overall it was a nice place and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

A great place for off season relaxation. They are still recovering from the storms last year but you can see them hard at work to bring it back. The pool area needed attention as it wasn’t as clean around the pool as I would’ve liked and a girl got stuck in the bathroom and fire dept had to be called to get her out, there were no staff on premises as far as we could tell. They just hadn’t addressed the door issue even tho they knew about it. We were there a week and when we were running out of toilet paper we asked for more and got the third degree and felt like maybe we should have gone and bought our own. The air conditioning worked great and we were quite comfortable in our room. I will recommend this place but it would be better if they had more attentive and present staff

Very clean and pristine bath towels. We love and utilized the pool ever day and walked the beach in the mornings. Natures bonus gave incredible sunsets. Will come again and recommend to others.

We only had two complaints: the apartment we stayed in was very dusty, under the bed, there was a bag with a cup of instant noodles and the bed with iron legs was quite noisy, and the mattress wasn`t very comfortable.

We had a great stay at Barefoot Beach resort in a two bedroom unit. It was perfect for our group of four, which included three teenagers. The property is not beachfront, but is located directly across the street from the beach. Our unit had a full kitchen and included everything we could’ve possibly needed to cook full meals, which we did. Would definitely stay here again.

I loved our room. Loved how our condo was a 2 bedroom. There was ample space to move around in and to cook in. I slept great and so did my children. There was an supply of beach chairs and pool noodles. The resort leaves a good starter supply of what you need such as dish soap, dishwasher soap and coffee things. I loved how close it is to the beach! It made things a lot easier as a family. The only drawback is it would be beneficial to have blinds that block out more light. My husband had trouble sleeping due to the brightness. We will be back!

First the staff was extremely rude and disrespectful to us when we arrived and not accommodating at all. Then when we arrived at our condo, it was dirty. The beds that were supposed to be queen size were clearly not. The beach chairs that were supplied, for our condo were absolutely deplorable, rusted, broken, and stained our clothes to the point where they were ruined, and we had to throw them out. Then the refrigerator froze our food and ruined it and we had to throw half of our food out as well. This was by far the worst experience we have had at a resort. The walls did not look clean, the bathroom did not look like it had been cleaned at all. Probably be our last time here if something doesn’t change and we come to this resort a lot. Put a pretty bad taste in our mouths.

Room was extremely dirty and aged. There were boogers and dirt stains on the bed skirt. The walls throughout are in bad condition. We immediately found a roach in the bathroom. Found a dirty used cup halfway full of water sitting on the desk. The bowls in the kitchen cabinet looked dirty and the coffee pot wasn’t even cleaned as it still had coffee in it. The oven had burnt fries on the bottom. Place needs to do a much better job cleaning and updating the rooms. I would recommend a different place.

The unit we stayed in saidnit slept 6 but the pullout bed was in terribly bad shape and 2 kids ended up just sleeping on the couch (extended size, L-shaped, room for 2) so the 2 beds were the only ones suitable. The unit was clean and well equipped, sand on the floors when we got there but it's hard to avoid that I guess. We.enjoyed the pool. Check in and out was.easy. Property listed as beachfront but the property is actually across the street from the beach and has its own beach access point. Kitchen wrll stocked with stove microwave coffee maker and all pans and utensils.

Dirty and Smelly

Terribly disappointed. The condo was horribly dirty. Floors were nasty covered in dirt. Shower was not cleaned. Ceiling fans covered in dust. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and pillows were lumpy and overused. Our bathroom smelled so bad like sewer the entire stay. I told the front desk lady who was extremely rude and said that was just their water system. We had left some towels to dry and some beach toys around our patio and one of the male workers beat on our door being extremely rude to put these things away. It was like 2pm in the day! The only worker who was kind was the young guy with the awesome mustache. He deserves a raise to put up with the others. Will not stay here ever again.

DON’T Go Barefoot here

It’s funny that the name of this resort is Barefoot Beach, because the floor was so nasty in our room I refused to go barefoot and lived in my shoes/sandals. As a family who frequently travels I can honestly say this was one of if not THE NASTIEST properties and rudest staff I have EVER encountered. Soon as we entered on night one, the floors were so dirty they turned our feet BLACK. The ceiling fans had so much dust on them they were BLACK around the edges. All of the silverware had to be wash upon arrival and looked like it was covered in yogurt or peanut butter. We had a family member with a disability and required a service dog and we were repeatedly harassed over and over again by all of the staff and they tried to intimidate us, make us uncomfortable and were rude towards our entire family. We had 5 people in our condo and ran out of clean towels and went to swap for more towels and the staff was again rude and said not to come back anymore for clean towels. I’m our second morning we were told we had to wake up at 8am to allow them to repair our shower, I feel like this should’ve been handled later in the day or while the room was unoccupied. All the glass on the tables is just sheets of glass sitting on top, not attached making this far from family friendly. Poop was in the pool one day. The hairdryer didn’t work, clothes iron leaked. We asked for a mop and were told they don’t have any(which explains why the floor was so nasty) save your money and go elsewhere.
