The toilet kept clogging and didn’t flush everything down. The last night we had to get a maintenance man to come in on his off time to unclog the toilet at 10pm. It was the third time the toilet was plunged that day. The exhaust fan didn’t work in the bathroom, and we asked them to fix it. They had the maintenance man in our room for that, and he left a mess on the floor in the bathroom. Housekeepers don’t speak English, so my husband had to find someone that spoke some English to tell them we needed a plunger. The first night there was a party at the pool with guests drinking alcohol. Not safe with little kids swimming. What if they needed help swimming or started to drown? Who was going to help them? Their intoxicated parents?

This is the 4th time that members of my family have stayed at SOTB. The private beach access is so nice, and we have lucked into 1st floor rooms near that access, every time. Since we love the KDH area, we will be back.

The staff was wonderful. The rooms were a little small but were clean and had everything we needed. Housekeeping stopped daily to ask if we needed anything, and since the kids were using the towels for the pool, it was nice to get fresh towels. It rained the majority of our trip, so having an indoor pool was great. Having a full breakfast everyday was wonderful! The only 2 negatives were the doors and the walls. The walls are thin and we could literally hear the person in the next room snoring. The people walking around above us sounded like a herd of elephants. And the first time we left, we didn't realize the door didn't latch if you didn't slam it, which explained why it sounded like everyone was slamming doors. The walk to the beach was nice and the pavilion overlooking the ocean was nice. All in all, we will stay here again when we come back.

We came down for the weekend and it was the perfect location for our kids. They loved being steps from the beach to watch the sunrises and find seashells. Having an indoor pool was also convenient and gave them something to do in the evenings. It was our second time staying here, and I know we’ll be back.
