Excerpted is a report from the middle of last month: <BR><BR>"We stayed at the Wyndham Reach Resort. We hadn't heard anything particularly good or bad about it, but we thought the service was great, the rooms good, and the atmosphere very good. The Beach was beautiful, as was the pool, and the beachside bar! Nice people all around too. Someone mentioned that they nickel and dime you there, and for the most part that was partially true. However, the only "fee" was the parking/resort fee ($10.75 per day). I have been charged this fee before at other hotels, and find it a common enough practice. The Wyndham's concierge, however, wasn't particularly helpful, while the head bellman was. As at any hotel, drinks and food were overpriced, but you can't beat the beachside service."<BR><BR>

My kids and I stayed at the Casa Marina in July 2002. It was beautiful, the beach is perfect, the pools are clean and warm, the staff is professional, the concierge went out of her way to get us reservations and to find my 16-yr old a pedicure, the beach concierge helped me with some recreational activities of my own, the drinks were average priced, the water sports were convenient and FUN. We had NO complaints,and for 2 teenage girls that is AMAZING.<BR>Location - the two hotesl are adjacent so I don't see how one could have a much better location than the other.
