10/10 Excellent
"I’ve been staying at Casaybel for 49 years! Everything was great! Rooms very clean. The pool was good. The only problem I had was the front desk with a package that was delivered by the post office through Amazon that showed delivered yet the girl said there was no package and she would check the mailbox. The next day no call. So when we came back from dinner I stopped at the mail box and it was packed with mail and my package! I wonder how often they check the mailbox? Also I paid for weekly chairs and umbrella at the beach. One day it rained in the morning. I called and left a message for my chairs after the sun was shining and no call and no chairs. I found people on the beach with chairs and asked if they were brought out for them and she told me she retrieved them herself. No compensation. I understand they have staff issues with the beach stuff but then they shouldn’t offer them when 2 chairs and 1 umbrella cost $150 per week when I could have ordered them from Billy’s. My family owns 6 weeks and we love it! I also rented this week in the 1 bedrooms through Expedia since my family is growing. Maybe they could do better with the problems I experienced. Thanks for listening. Oh and also we saw a coyote walking around between the beach and the building 😳"
