Bayshore Resort

Bayshore Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice people with service attitude. We had a non-view beach floor room which was nice and actually well located for the laundry facilities and beach. Definitely go to the beach. There’s tables and chairs and loungers on a beautiful strip of soft sand beach. It was so peaceful to sit there and take in the view. And unlike other resorts people don’t reserve the loungers with towels etc then never return so there’s always seating available. Breakfast is “OK” cherry coffee is very nice. We found it very crowded the two days we were there. More tables could be added to the small dining room. Parking spaces are a little tight. TVs have streaming apps such as Netflix and HULU. The whole resort is kept clean, there’s beach towels and a Bo’s of beach toys for the kids! Would certainly visit again."
