Top JN 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but pretty bare for a condo u it. The bed we had has pretty hard. The couch was stiff as a board. The bathroom only had one sink and the only mirror in the whole place. The Staff were great. Beach view was great. Only ate breakfast once at the restaurant and it was not that good and very expensive. Should have know it was not as good as we were the only ones in there."
