We are return customers. This time we stayed in a suite- it was so hot even after telling front desk. We couldn’t even stay in the front of the suite, we had to hang out in the bedroom. Not sure I would stay again- super noisy and overall not impressed this time.

The resort is older and smaller than most but pretty well maintained. No restaurant on property but looks like it will be done soon. Several restaurants are within walking distance. Our kitchenette room was great! Clean and comfortable. We had poolside room. Music every day and night is nice. Pool is pretty big and in good shape. Lots of loungers. Overall a great little place to stay.

Loved it will definitely be staying here again. The property does need some upgrades, or it just needs to be taken care of a little better (the hot tub looks its age, and a couple floor boards in the room were poking up) but overall it’s great. You can walk to anything and Ubers are always less than a minute away. The tiki bar is amazing we got to see a different band each night, and the drinks are great.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Thunderbird. The view from our balcony awesome. Live music every day from around noon to nine. The tiki bar was great.Close to everything. The room and facilities were very clean. Beach was great. The best thing was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating and Nicole at the front desk was really nice and helpful.
