Ive stayed here before but at the Soundings which is a Bluegreen property. Excellent facility. The room type I was assigned was on the third floor with the bedroom up a spiral staircase. Very precarious and lots of steps. I couldn't change the room without changing the room type and still on the third floor. Decided to stay but left early. Bathroom down and bed room up. BAD DESIGN

We enjoyed the property in the room immensely. The staff was excellent and as responsive as they could be. We had to deal with a snafu with Expedia, which affected the quality of our weekend. I had already paid earlier in the month and had to make another payment upon arrival because the original payment was not settled upon. Always best to have that together before your guests arrive. Thank you.

Winter Off Season Escape
Did not know "THE BREAKERS" was actually a large time share property. Since we had the bargain rate, we were banished to one of the far buildings awy from the central building. Had to climb outside stairs to get to room. It snowed and I had to sweep the stairs so wife would not fall. Room was nice with small kitchenette and utensils/dishes/fridge which we utilized.

Don't bother....We booked a King size suite with ocean view. Ocean view was down end of parking lot windows did not open. Couch & chairs in room filthy. Hairs in the jacuzzi & bath tub. Parking lot is a joke to pay & pull in and out of. The whole lot is for small cars! Just be sure to get the room your booked, we didn't then they claimed there was no other rooms available. Also, rubber pad on the bed - talk about sweaty. I took that off and used two fitted sheets to be sure it was clean enough. You can not adjust the A/C below 69. The one thing I will say is the king size bed was conferrable the second night after I figured out the rubber mattress pad. Honestly stay somewhere else. Pelham house is great (they were booked for a wedding) in the same area. Good Luck - the pictures are a scam. You don't not end up where you think you are staying.

Never Again!!
To begin with there was no early check in. Not even 15 prior to 4pm. And the receptionist was very adamant about that after me waiting for 1.5 hours and finnaly getting in at 4:15pm The unit I checked into required climbing up a spiral staircase to the bedroom area with no bathroom, so if one needs to use the bathroom at all at night climbing up and down the staircase is a pain. I'm sure other units managed by the same group have better accommodations. But these style units are not worth staying at. Also, the bathroom was tiny. I had to use the kitchen table to store most everything.

The bed seemed like a full and not a queen. The bed felt like sleeping on a hard surface, it truly was the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on. The heat kicking on all night long was very loud. There was a note on the cabinet about washing the dishes before use, but there was no dish soap to wash them.

The unit was a condo. Upkeep was either not done or done poorly. The walls between the unit were not soundproof and we could hear the people talking in the next door unit. It seems as though someone was moving furniture upstairs and it lasted over three hours! Many unit available in the area that seemed to be available. I would suggest that you look at other before staying at this resort.

I would not recommend the Breakers based on our stay. There are 2 buildings- one is waterfront, and the other is across the street (where we were). The location itself wasn’t an issue, but the room layout was. The room we stayed in (described as “1 Queen Bed, Non Smoking (Efficiency)”) had a bizarre layout with a spiral staircase leading up to the bedroom. The kitchenette, bathroom, and living room are on the main/entry level. So, if you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night, you climb down a spiral staircase to get there. Also, the AC is on the lower level, and does not make its way upstairs - it was uncomfortably hot in the bedroom, even though it was only in the 70s outside (and maxed out AC downstairs). We were very disappointed, and asked if we could move, even pay for an upgrade. However, since this is actually not a hotel, but a timeshare, they couldn’t help us, and it was beyond the refundable cancellation with Expedia, so we just had to make the best of it (by spending our time going out). Also, the furnishings were tired (esp. the living room), the bathroom sink didn’t have hot water (had to wash hands in kitchenette sink), and ants in the kitchen (though we had no food). The positives: the staff was friendly/professional, close to the beach, and clean overall. Positive reviews must be for other rooms/buildings. I suggest updating the description to mention the spiral staircase in these units, since this is not physically easy for everyone.

Totally misleading property. It shows a picture of being on the beach with a pool overlooking the ocean. We received a room across the street, with not enough parking near our room (had to walk a distance), room was not clean (had room key and trash from prior guest - not cleaned during COVID - really!), was given an accessible room with non-standard shower, no full size fridge or kitchen as described, TV in living did not work (never came to fix even after calling), TVs are small. Not worth the $275 /night. Staff was dismissive upon check-in when I asked why we were across the street and not on beach as described upon booking. Maya said to call another company - she could do nothing about it. Very misleading - will not stay here again.

We had a 2 bedroom "apartment". It was very spacious and clean; beds were extremely comfortable. The property is located on the beach and has a outdoor heated swimming pool. We used the pool since the beach is very narrow, there are no chairs, and water was still cold this time of the year. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay there again.

Covid protocols in place with temperature check at check-in. The staff was friendly and efficient. Loved the room, only had a couple very minor issues.
